Henry is 4.

My cute little baby turns 4 today. He really was the best baby. Loved to sleep. I'm sure I didn't appreciate it enough at the time. From early in his life he taught us that he likes to do things his own way, and that there are just people in the world who really don't care what any one else is doing or what they think. He's really does things at his own pace and in his own way.
He's been begging me to measure how tall he is, so we finally do this morning.
He is 41 3/4 inches tall and 40 lbs. He's grown almost 2 inches in six months.

He's always been a ball of brute strength, though finally now he has found the ability to control his own strength and isn't quite the Destroyer that he once was.

A few months ago he came up to me and asked, "Mom, What does 'dimple' mean?" I laughed out loud, all his life people have been talking to him about his dimples and he had no idea what they were talking about.

He is such a great big brother to Wyatt. He loves him so much he can hardly keep from touching him and pulling on him and kissing him constantly. He recently said to Wyatt, "Wyatt, you are gross. But we love you because we love gross people." Then he gave him a kiss.
When people tells me that Wyatt looks like Henry all I can say is- Yes, but without all of the things that make Henry look so naughty. Like 5 cowlicks and giant dimples. He's a little daredevil and fun-loving maniac. And he is the most cuddly kid who loves to snuggle up and give hugs and kisses.

He really makes me laugh everyday. He is such a fun guy and I love the time that we get to spend together before he heads off to school. Happy Birthday Henry!
