Father's Day
Caleb's favorites on Father's Day: Henry, yummy breakfast from Courtney's & Starbucks, a framed finger painting from Henry, church, BBQ for lunch, quiet house with a loooong nap, my tomato pie and fruit salad with chocolate cake. I also treated him to a Durham Bulls game the following Tuesday with dinner out to Tyler's just the two of us! The Bulls lost, but we had amazing seats and there was a great breeze! Caleb, I know Henry adores and loves you. You're an amazing Daddy and husband.

Reason #537 Why I Love IKEA!
We picked this up the last time we ventured to our local IKEA a few months ago and forgot about it since then...so glad I remembered because Henry loves it! Thank you IKEA!

It came.
It finally came! I have been hinting for this necklace for oh...at least 6 months now. Obviously my light hinting wasn't working and Christmas, Valentine's Day, and my birthday had already passed so all I had left was Mother's Day. **Now, I'd like to add that my husband spoils me each and every day and the fact that he wasn't as quick to catch on to my hints about this one necklace is more of a joke to us than anything else.** Without any hinting on my part, Caleb had ordered the necklace for me from Charlotte's for Mother's Day! But it was still being made so I had to wait. A week or so later Caleb and I are heading to the ballet (another Mother's Day surprise!) and I reach for my lip gloss in the console as we're backing out and there's a little gold wrapped box with a big, pink bow on it. Of course I couldn't wait. I open it up...and its not the right font he'd ordered or size I'd requested. So...back it goes and they gave him a free upgrade to the size I wanted. Yay! So on Tuesday when Caleb mysteriously heads to his car...I'm thinking could it be? Is it here? Did he make sure it was the right one this time? And it was...:) and I'm a happy girl!!!
Thank you honey I love you.
14 Months
Henry, today you are 14 months old! You are a busy boy who loves life. You like to play outside and get dirty. You love to be in your wagon, swing, a ride in the car, stroller, or pool. You love books and will sit there and turn the pages and read the book aloud just like you see Mommy or Daddy do.
You love to stack blocks and after I stack the first one you can stack the second block and you say 'two' then I stack the third block and you knock them down and laugh when I say boom.
You have taken steps on your own- your first two steps were on Monday June 6th and you took three steps by yourself yesterday and today you took a step while you were playing without being prompted. You are very silly and we have our inside "jokes" (certain silly noises we make back and forth and laugh) you love to play peek-a-b00 and think 'achoo' sounds are funny.
If we ask you where a random toy is you can find it and give it to us. You love Elmo like crazy. You love Rouge too. You're in a size 4 diaper, size 5 shoe, and 24M-2T clothing. You love magnets on the fridge.
You love balls of any size. You like to be sung to- Hokie Pokie (which we sing every night before bed), Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a new favorite that will keep you from fighting during a diaper change, and How Much Is That Doggie In The Window is always your number one favorite.
You like to slide with a book or piece of paper in one hand on all fours across the floor. You are fascinated by your clothes hangers and comb. You try to comb your own hair. Your current favorite books are Trucks Go and Growing Vegetable Soup.
You love finger puppets and opening drawers. You love to make messes and throw things behind you. You love to be picked up. You still take two 30 minute naps a day and sleep 8-9 hours a night. You are a good eater and eat so much faster than you used to!
I can't wait to see what this next month of your life will hold, Henry! You're a joy!

first steps
Henry took TWO steps in a row this evening! He's done one step many times before and then falls into our arms, but tonight he was able to take two steps and keep his balance afterwards! SO proud of him. I felt happy, proud, sad, and sentimental all at the same time and couldn't pick which one to feel, haha!
