Not as different as I thought.

Just for fun I grabbed a couple of Henry's old pictures just to see how really different the two boys looked. The truth is, they're not as distinct as I had previously assumed. Maybe everybody else knew the truth, but I was really surprised. When I have more time I'm going to get some more of these together, it's been really fun.

Picture time with Henry

I can't really add anything with words. He is beyond my communication abilities.

We're crawling!!!!

Okay, not really. But I'm sure I got your hopes up for a minute. Freddie still has no interest in crawling but Jesse keeps insisting we try. Last night Freddie was put on the floor and we wouldn't pick him up. After 15 minutes, this is the end result:

Totally effective, right?

And now, a word from Henry

Hello. I'm Henry. I am here to the say the letter of the day and the word of the day. The letter of the day is, "H". And the word of the day is, "ooga chacka ooga chacka ooga chacka". There. And now some more. We'll be back after this.

Welcome Back to our show. Now we shall show you the picture we just put on. That was a picture that I was doing on a day watching CyberChase. We'll be back after this.

Welcome back again. We just had to get our snack. I am very sorry that we had to pause two times, but I still hope you will forgive me. THE END.

Bad Mother Alert!

The other day I was way way early for picking up Henry from school. Freddie and I got to hang out in the front seat for a few minutes and enjoy each others company. Actually, I enjoyed Freddie's company and he enjoyed my Cherry Coke from Sonic. Please don't worry, he never got the straw to work. He just enjoyed trying and feeling like a big boy. He is so stinking cute!!!

Your daily dose

Now I know that nobody can make it through a single day without a new picture of Freddie. So here it is, just for your listening pleasure. You can see that his bottom gums are all red from teething. Boy Howdy, has he been cranky! I still think I'll keep him.

Happy Birthday Henry Pants!

HENRY IS 6!

I have made it six years without totally losing my mind. I think that is quite an achievement.

We started off the day with a healthy breakfast. Grandma made French Toast and I gave Henry strawberries and whipped cream. What a treat for a special day. We then spent the rest of the morning playing Mario Kart on the Wii. He was in heaven! Then we sent him to school with his class cupcakes.

After school we set up for the party. I think it turned out totally awesome. His favorite color is green, if you couldn't tell, and he kinda likes SpongeBob. He's really not the biggest fan, but I loved the balloons, so I went with it.

He seemed to put up with the theme alright.

Then we took his best friend/lady love to eat dinner with us at Noodles and Company. They were totally hyper and out of control. But they loved their macaroni and we all had fun.

We then came home for presents and cake. Henry got a new Sonic XBox game from his Nana. And mom and dad gave him a gumball machine and a fishing pole. Also, a remote control Mario Kart racer. Way cool stuff.

The cake was awesome. We let Henry decorate it himself and he had so much fun. Just some green frosting and a couple of Hot Wheels. He was very proud of his work.

I got one picture of my boys together. I don't know why Henry looks so ticked off. Honestly, it's his birthday and he looks like his budgie died. I hope he remembers the day as being fun.

10 Things I Love about Henry

5. He is so kind to everybody in our family.
6. He tries to make everything he does a game.
7. His vocabulary.
8. He loves to wear his pants backwards.
