I can't believe my little Henry is one year old! It makes me sad. We've had so much fun the last 12 months. I know we'll have even more fun as he gets mobile and chatty, but he's not my baby anymore. He's like a toddle now. He's very independent -- entertains himself. Doesn't much like sitting in my lap anymore. And he loves feeding himself, so the birthday cake was super-fun.
We just had his one year appointment and he's so healthy and big -- 30 inches tall (65%), 26 lbs (88%) and he wears size 24 mo. - 2T. He got 7 shots and a toe prick. Seeing him scream made me cry. The nurse had to give me a tissue. I'm the baby, I guess.
We had his birthday party on Sunday. Henry is so popular. Over 40 people came including 10 or so babies. The weather was so nice. Matt grilled burgers and dogs in the back yard. Thank you to everyone who came. Henry is enjoying his new toys so much!
Henry had two birthday cakes. An airplane cake that Gramme made, and a two level polka-dot cake for everyone else.
See those little stars sprinkled on the table (see red arrow). Henry ate one and started gagging, coughing, turning red, crying, spitting and dry heaving. We had to rush him to the emergency room. They did x-rays but couldn't see anything. Matt found the little star in his diaper the next morning. Sounds like our little Longhorn is taking lessons from Shackleford. Oh Henry ~

10 minutes later Henry poos all over Matt. His good daddy takes him into the men's room for a quick change. Exposed on the changing table, Henry sprays Matt and soaks his cute new Horns jersey. Matt brings him back to the table in just a diaper. Luckily, Amanda, Max's mom, had a shirt Henry could borrow.
