Sick boy.
After we visited the Fair, Henry came down with a bad stomach bug. At the same time, there was an e. coli outbreak in our county all from children who had visited the Fair the first weekend it was open (which we did). They later figured out it was started from one of the animal buildings (which we visited) and where I don't think Henry had e.coli his symptoms were very similar. And then we all got it...and that was followed by another week of colds around here after the virus. Yuck.

State Fair
This was Henry's second trip to the State Fair and he LOVED it. I have such great childhood memories of visiting the Fair every year and hearing the fireworks every night for the 10 or so days the Fair was in my hometown. Nothing much changes from year to year and I like it that way.
Caleb at the Turkey Shoot.
Dancing to the music from the rides!
This year, Henry rode his first Fair ride with Caleb because he was tall enough to ride some of the rides. It was the Jalopy Junction and I totally cried! It just hit me all of a sudden that this was happening. I wasn't bawling, but I was glad I was wearing sunglasses at the time so I didn't look like the weeping mother at the Fair. He rode the Jalopy Junction so many times! He also enjoyed the carousel, a train ride, and a flying helicopter ride.
On the carousel, I thought he was getting sick because every time he passed me he looked very solemn, but Caleb said on the other side the wind would blow in their faces and he would laugh so he must have enjoyed it! :)
We visited the animals (more on that later...) and, Caleb did his annual Turkey Shoot, strolled through the exhibits, gardens, and enjoyed our favorite Fair food. It was a great visit!

I left the room for 3 minutes.
And please kindly ignore the pile of laundry/frames to be hung in the chair. The rest is all him!

18 Months
Henry, you are 18 months old! Can hardly believe you are a year and a half. Where has the time gone? We were out of town on your 18 month birthday, but I took these precious Fall pictures of you instead!
You are loving life. Each day and moment is a new adventure. You are constantly learning and soaking everything in!
You love to play hide and seek. You love to play a game where we say 'bye-bye' and your whole expression changes to a very serious face and you bustle out of the room (you even have a route) until you decide it's time to come back again and everyone cheers and says 'hello'. You could do this all day (and sometimes you do!)
You are SOOOO into anything with wheels. You say 'Go, Go, Go!'. You love anything that goes fast or slow as long as you can push it with your little fingers or watch the real thing go down the street. You throw your arms up if we say "Touchdown!"
You love to dance and are always making up fun dance moves and love for us to copy you. Our time in the car is so much more fun now that we turned you around in the carseat. At your 18 month appointment you were 34 inches tall (90%) and weighed 29 lbs., 10 oz. (97%) so it was totally fine to move you facing forward. You wear 2T-3T clothing and a size 7 shoe.
You love to clap for yourself if you did something right and clap for others if they do something well. I love that about you! You are getting taller each day and can reach at least 2 inches on top of our tall kitchen cabinets. They are taller than average cabinets, so we have to watch what is in reach! You love crackers.

Around here.
It's usual these days to walk around the corner and find Henry up on the couch. My eyes always do a double take when I see him!
Caught red-handed with two sippy cups.
Rouge was sleeping underneath a blanket (as she so often obsessively does) and after she woke up continued to walk around the house for 20 minutes with it on top of her. Hilarious!

"GO GO GO!"
Just a typical day playing with my cars and trucks! Mommy gave me a piece of newspaper to play with and this is what I did with it! I also like to stomp on the newspaper and hear the crackling sound it makes.
