Hank 2.0

We just celebrated Henry's 2nd birthday. Oh man do I love this boy. All 2 years and 35 pounds of that crazy kid. If I had to pick one word to describe Henry at 2 years old, it would be "obsessed." There are just some things that he has to have. Here are some of his current obsessions...
-Eating chicken with ranch. And lots of it.
-Watching "pat pat" (Little Einsteins) after breakfast.
-Wearing his hat just like Joe wears his red St. Louis hat.
-Vacuuming. He literally screams his head off if you pull the vacuum out and he doesn't get a chance to push it into walls and table legs.
-Eating and eating and eating craisins.
-Putting the clothes from the laundry room, whether they are clean or dirty, in the washer and pushing buttons until the washer starts. So helpful.
-Wearing his swimsuit in the tub. I should have never gotten that started that one snowy January day.
-Milk. Enough said. He only drinks milk. And only eats craisins. Luckily they balance eachother out and the diapers remain normal. Somehow the lack of food doesn't compromise his tank sized physique.
-Helping himself to the cold cereal in the pantry. Whenever he wants.
-Yelling his version of, "girls, time to eat" from the top of the stairs when he sees me setting the table.
-Wearing his church clothes everyday. Seriously. He wants them on everyday because he thinks if he has his church clothes on he'll be seeing his BFF Jack. Major tantrum if I come near him with sweats. So he looks pretty preppy all the time.
-Mickey Mouse. Other than his blanket, it's the only thing he isn't going to share. Oh and his John Deer tractor. He won't share that either.
-Grandpa.
-Buckling his own car seat buckle even though he has never successfully done it on his own. Still, he throws a fit when I finally do it for him because it's time to go.
-Fake burping and saying "xuse you." And laughing.

He most certainly keeps us laughing. Love you baby Hank. Happy Birthday.

so cute! i love reading all the little things that make each child unique. someday he'll be rolling over the fact that he used to wear his swimming suit in the bath tub:)--better than my kid insisting on swimming in public pools naked;)
