Spotlight on Hank!

Hank had his 18 month check-up yesterday, and does not have to go back until he is 2!

He is 29 lbs and 33 1/2 inches. He had to get two shots, which he was upset about, but soon calmed himself.

I thought I would list some fun facts about our little 18 month old:

He loves music and likes to dance, and he has good rhythm!

He wears size 18 - 24 month and a size 7 shoe.

He still LOVES to eat. If he sees food, he's right there to get his share. His current faves are crackers, pasta, cheese, pancakes, bread, candy, especially Kit Kat bars, oranges, and green beans.

He still likes his paci and his taggie.

Plays so well with all his toys. His favorites are his vacuum cleaner, Seasame Street Bus, trucks, balls, and his Cozy Coupe Car. he also enjoys books.

Loves bath time and getting showers too.

Loves animals and knows a lot of animal sounds.

Says many words now. Some of his recents are ouch, beep beep, and eat.

Most nights he sleeps 9 - 7 am. On occasion he gets up in the middle of the night and comes to bed with us.

Takes one long nap in the middle of the day now.

Has a good personality and loves to give us hugs and kisses. We love it too:)

Hippity Hoppity...

Just give me the chocolate already!

Wockenfuss Candy - Yummy!

Vroom, Vroom!

First time on a school bus .

Hold on I'm in the drivers seat !




Easters on it's way!






Hank and I were really hopping today. I found out that the library has a program called the "Diaper Gang." It's a group for 2 and under, where they sing songs and read a few books and have a little bit of play time. Since we can't do the Terrific Tots program anymore I thought we would give it a shot. Hank enjoyed himself, so it was worth the trip. We then went to see the Easter Bunny. He was at the toy store on Main Street. We had a nice lunch and then went to the candy store to get some Easter candy. It was a nice day to stroll around town.



In the afternoon we also went to a fundraiser for the Tiny Tots preschool. It was called "touch a truck." All kinds of trucks and police cars and a police boat were set up for the kids to get in. I knew Hank would love that. He is so into trucks!


From there it was onto Walmart. He did so well for all the running around we had to do. I believe I am more tired then he is. He is playing with a truck right now. He makes truck noises and says "beep beep." Is he going to be a truck driver?

Hanging at the Mall.

Beep, Beep.

I think I am more of a land lover.

How come the birds that come to Grand Poppy's feeder are not this Big?

We had to be out of the house tonight while someone came to walk through, so when I picked up Hank we went to the Mall. He needed new shoes, so we took advantage of Stride Rite's Sale and got two new pair (buy one get one pair 1/2 off.) He got a nice new pair of sneakers and a pair of boat shoes - Sperry's. They will look cute for Easter and for the Summer. He is now in a size 7 and actually his right foot measured a little bit bigger than the left.

After we got done with the shoe shopping, he got to ride the little fire truck and the helicopter. He liked the truck, but appeared more hesitant about the helicopter.

Brant met us at Red Robin for Supper. While we were there Red Robbin himself was walking around. Hank didn't know what to think of him. He had never seen a bird that big! After looking him over, he did slap him five.

Spring has Sprung!

I love Spring Flowers!

Just hanging around!

So tired!

Stained face and sticky fingers, but worth it!





Spring is officially here, although it has been unseasonably warm for days ( 70 +).
Hank and I went to his Terrific Tots class. I noticed that he was a good listener during the session and followed instructions well. Again this week he was the only child that chimed in with the animal of the day's sound ( a cat and last week a pig). Unfortunately I don't know if we will be able to continue with the classes. There are not enough children showing up at this location so they are not going to have the Saturday class:(

After stocking up on groceries we came home and he fell asleep eating his lunch. You know that boy is tired when he falls asleep around food!

After his 2 1/2 hour nap, we went in search of a treat and found a shaved ice stand that is open already. We had to celebrate Spring!

How did you celebrate?

Happy Birthday Dad (& Hank)

Today is Dad's Birthday. This is a photo of him as a little boy with his sister Ellen. Hard to believe he used to be cute and innocent like Hank, who is 18 months today.

Enjoying the Green!

St. Patrick's Day and the weather was wonderful. Hard to believe that just a month ago we were knee deep in snow. This evening Hank was all about the Green (grass that is!)

Stand Up and be Counted!

Our Census came in the mail today and I have it done and ready to mail back!
