I [heart] Davids It helps me to say these things aloud, I think.

Henry is two and a half! And he loves tacos.

Our little man is really getting big. He has a terrific vocabulary and is speaking so well and so clearly. He keeps surprising us with the things he says, including a recent request: “I need to watch Thomas!” He is pretty much your average two and a half year old. He is by turns sweet, tyrannical, funny, demanding, affectionate, playful, stubborn and curious.

He has fairly decent table manners and likes to eat a variety of foods, including his favorite meal of sushi rice, avocado nigiri and edamame. He is still taking one nap a day for about two hours; nighttime sleep is from 8 PM to 7 AM. He brushes his teeth twice a day. He helps around the house with chores. He puts his dishes in the sink and his dirty clothes in his laundry basket.

He loves playtime outside. Inside, his favorite toys are probably his Matchbox cars and his wooden train set. He loves to read and put together 5-piece puzzles. We think he’s super-smart, of course. We adore him.

Eight pictures after the break!
