and learning all about using the potty. we started potty training henry a couple of weeks ago and he is doing really well, both at home and at school. only wearing a diaper at night and during his nap-big boy underwear the rest of the time. so far I've been pleasantly surprised by the whole experience from the parental side of things. here's hoping I'm not jinxing anything!

speaking of underwear, how cute is this tiny heiny? I'm sure he'll appreciate these photos down the road :)

the first time I saw him in underwear I was sad ... my little baby in underwear, really? was it that time yet? wasn't he just starting to giggle and coo and eat baby foods the other day? surely this was a dream ... after I got over being sentimental about it, I couldn't stop smiling at how adorable he looked in them. he was calling them "underwears," but for some reason he has stopped that and now its just plain old singular underwear. :(

at cityfest the other weekend ... no longer afraid of Aubie, woo hoo! as Aubie was holding him, henry was saying, "I Love Him, I Love Him" over and over. precious.

first pony ride - at cityfest. I thought he would be a little afraid, but he wasn't and wanted to ride again and again. he said "my horse is nice. he's soft. he has a long tail. I love him." apparently he loves everything and everyone right now ... which is fine by me.

on an inflatable at cityfest - which he kept saying "tackle the elephant!" or "tackle the giraffe!" his daddy is going to have to give him some pointers on tackling ...
