Just 5 short days after Christmas, Henry turned TWO! He started the morning out opening presents. Since he had just received a large amount of Christmas toys, we went pretty light this year. He got a membership to the Museum of Transportation from us, a book of (desperately needed) "boy" stickers, and a box of beans sensory box. Amelia bought him a pair of "vroom vroom" slippers.
The sensory box was a huge hit when our Parents As Teachers educator brought one over during a visit, so we thought we would make Henry his own. I am hoping to change it often and adding seasonally appropriate pieces into the box as needed. So far, it has been a big hit with Amelia and Henry (and every other child who has given it a try while visiting).
Amelia really felt like Henry needed a special birthday breakfast, so she and Jason came up with a little design incorporating his pancakes and dried fruit. And since he loves all vehicles (and particularly construction ones), he thought this was great.
So we sang "Happy Birthday" to him and then I really thought he was going to catch himself on fire trying to blow out the candles!
Since it was a fairly warm day (for December 30), we decided to put that membership to use and take him to the Museum of Transportation.
After some lunch and naps, we picked up where we left off with more singing and some yummy cupcakes!
They were a hit with everyone!
This is the best place, I suppose, to mention Henry's two year stats:
Height: 37 3/4" (still off of the chart >than 97th percentile)
Weight: 29 lbs. (62nd percentile--he made up some ground!)
Head Circumference: 49 3/4 cm
And a little about Henry at age two...
Clothing size: pants 2T, shirts 2T/3T
Shoe size: 8
Diaper size: 5
Loves: cars, firetrucks, construction trucks and really anything with wheels, cats, horses, Amelia (at times), bath time and ALL puzzles
Dislikes: vacuum, dark rooms, having his diaper changed, Amelia (at times)
Favorite books: any of the truck books, Goodnight Moon, Brown Bear, Brown Bear
