Happy Birthday Henry Boy!

In the next few days I am going to do my best to catch up!


First on the list is Henry's first birthday.  I can hardly believe it, Henry is 1!

He LOVES to climb- I am constantly telling him to get down off of things.  His favorite things to climb right now are chairs so she can walk all over the counters and the table. He also loves to climb up and down the stairs, the stool so he can reach things on the kitchen counter. So pretty much if it is climbable he climbs it :o)

He is tall and skinny- 95% for his height and 50% for weight

Loves electronics just like his sister did.

He is a curious cat- He gets into everything and leaves his path of destruction behind him.

Starting to talk- He can say “Momma”, “El-O (hello), “boo”, “baw (ball)”, “Ut-O”. He still doesn’t say “Dad” no matter how hard Caleb tries to get him to say it.  Hahaha pay back for Valerie not saying “Momma” for a long time.

He loves to play with cars and trucks.  He even loves to make the car engine noises.

His best friend in the world is Kirby Vacuum. He can spend hours playing with Kirby.

Last but not least, he loves to dance

Disney World Day 3

Day 3 in Disney World had to have been one of our favorites.  In the morning we got to get into the park (Magic Kingdom) before it even opened because Valerie had an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella’s Castle.  It was so nice to be able to walk around the park before anyone was allowed in.  We got lots of cute shots of in front of the castle with no one in the background! It was us and the castle. After having fun taking pictures we headed to the Boutique. The Boutique in Cinderella’s Castle is BEAUTIFUL!!!  Valerie was nervous at first but by the end she was loving every moment of it.  She looked like a princess! The best moment of the day was when Valerie's fairy godmother spurn her around so she could see herself for the first time.  The pure joy and happiness in her face made the trip and making her dress worth all the worrying and fretting I did.  I would be lying if I said Daddy, Grandma, and I didn't get a little teary eyed.  

Once Valerie was finished we headed right next door to have breakfast in Cinderella’s Castle with all the princesses.  Once again the room was BEAUTIFUL! The food was so yummy, and we loved seeing all the princesses.  Valerie’s favorite moment during breakfast was when Sleeping Beauty came to our table and told Valerie that she looked just like her. Valerie just beamed from ear to ear. 

After breakfast we got a few cute pictures of Valerie riding Cinderella’s horse, (has a gold bow on its tail), and Henry riding Prince Charming horse. Then after riding the carousel we changed Valerie out of her princess dress and spent the rest of the day riding all the rides and watching the parades :o)

Disney World Day 2

Our second day at Disney World we spent the day at Hollywood Studios.  We had a blast! We started the day off with the new Buzz Lightyear ride, which by the way is one of Valerie's favorite. We then visited some of the Toy Story characters.  As you can tell by the pictures Henry thought the little green men we a bunch of fun.  We then went and watched "Lights, Motors, Action, Extreme Stunt Show". All I can say is, it was AWESOME! We  then made our way to Star Tours. Caleb and I were lucky ducks and were one of the last people to ride it before they closed it for refurbishment the fallowing day. After riding the ride we got to watch the afternoon parade.  As I said before Valerie loved watching and dancing as the parade would pass by.  Apparently some of the parade cast members noticed and choose Valerie to dance with them! For a late lunch that day we ate at the Hollywood and Vine. It was a delicious buffet. The rest of the day we spent riding my favorite ride, Tower of Terror, and Grandma Tracy and Caleb's favorite ride, Rock N Roller Coaster. Then finally we ended the night watching the light and firework show called Fantasmic.
