Happy Birthday, Henry!!!

You are TWO years old. Everywhere we go, people tell me "he is so cute". You truly are beautiful, with your big blue eyes, head of unruly wavy brown hair, and easy smile.

You constantly ask "why?", imitating Charlotte, but you seem to genuinely want to know the answer. You are fascinated with trucks, cars, and machines with lots of moving parts, cogs, and wheels.

You love to take your evening bath with your sisters, eagerly shouting "yay! Bath!" And running to the stairs.

You can also be !challenging! .
You say no, run away, slam back your body, often causing your poor head to be smacked on the floor or staircase. Though difficult to calm at times, once you are over the hump, you are eager to say "si-ee" sorry, give a hug, and even share whatever it was that caused the incident.

Your motor skills are incredible. You run easily and gracefully. You can jump on two feet, and can go almost as fast on a tricycle as your sisters can go just by running the bike and not using pedals at all.

Verbally, there are so many words you know, and you are starting to form sentences. You ask "where go?" For where did it go?
"Ah eat?" Can we eat? Etc.

You are becoming Charlotte's favorite playdate, and Ruby's darling, doted upon by everyone, and you know you are well loved.

Happy Birthday to my headstrong, beautiful boy. You make me Shake my head and Laugh out loud at the same time. I am so proud to be your mom.
