one year

Well, I've officially been an aunt for one year. It has truly been the best year of my life. Henry has blessed me in so many ways, and I can not wait to be an aunt for a second time this summer.  The blog has been fun, but time to retire. Thanks for sharing in such a blessed year :)

I love you Henry Hooper!

Ali's Birthday :)

This past weekend was Ali's birthday. The whole family went to Bravo for dinner. As always, Henry was the entertainment. Here are a couple pictures from dinner:

"Happy Birthday Mommy!"

"Lemons are SOUR!"

11 months

WOW! Henry is one month away from a year! This by far has been the most blessed year of my life, and it is greatly because of this little guy:

Henry and the pups...

Today while I had Henry, I watched how much he and the dogs interact and get along. The dogs really enjoy Henry, and I think he doesn't mind them too much either...what do you think?

"Whatcha doin Hans?"

Just havin fun!

Fun Morning Friday

Today Ali had an early morning doctors appointment (to check on Hooper baby #2), so she dropped Henry off at my apartment. I guess Henry had woken up a little earlier today, so after playing at my house for only about 45 minutes he was exhausted! We were watching some Yo Gabba Gabba and I look over to find this: 

precious

Hans wanted to take a little morning nap too!

After  Ali got home we went to Bob Evans to get some breakfast:

Henry and Momo (still looking a little sleepy)

loving some hotcakes!

15 minutes in the life of Henry

So the other day I followed Henry around for about 15 minutes with my camera...this is the result:

"gosh, Oma and Opa have some fun books and CD's"

"who doesn't love tupperware?"

"these toys look fun!"

always love a good splash in the water bowl

"hmmm....I wonder what I could do with this?"

"oops! I got stuck!"

"let's take a minute to watch some Noggin..."

the face of innocence

Looking outside...

Today Henry saw Heidi looking out the backyard window, so he decided to join her.  They were just too cute checkin things out together. Both of them I'm sure would have loved to be playing outside, but It's still a little bit chilly outside. Here are a couple pics:

peering through the shutters

"do you see what I see Heidi?"

"I love being a big boy!"

"dog chews taste kinda funny"
