Henry's favorite things for the month of August.

1-Pulling on the electrical socket wall plates
2-Throwing balls, blocks, and sippy cups "over the wall" (baby gates)
3-Saying "baby!" and carrying around a doll a friend of ours got him. Today he gave the baby kisses
4-Laughing at the mere fact that he is alive
5-Kicking his legs and crying during EVERY diaper change
6-Putting blocks and other similar items into any available container, then dumping them out. This process is repeated as necessary, or until otherwise distracted

Today he was wearing my hat and it fell over his eyes. As he was walking in a straight line towards the wall, I thought to myself, 'aw, he's gonna run into the wall, and it will be so cute!' However, tragedy struck when a shelf interrupted his delicate state of balance, then added insult to injury by colliding with his head as it was on its way to meet the wall before landing on the floor. A bloody lip is pretty disastrous for a one year old, but, after some good consoling, Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks from A to Z, and giving the doll a hug, life went on.
