musings, by henry

well...I have a million and would probably have 10 million if I had written them all down...which my mom told me to do...of funny things that Henry has said. Why didn't I listen to my mother?!! Just wanted to share a couple of recent ones here. Henry is a funny, thoughtful guy and has somewhat of a flare for the dramatic. I don't have a clue where he gets that from (wink, wink).

He told my sister recently, with a very serious tone, "I have something serious and very true to tell you" and then he swung his arm in front of himself like someone on THE PRICE IS RIGHT, to direct our attention where he wanted us to look, and said "Tupelo ate all of the food off the table!" Yes, our dog had eaten all of the food off of the kitchen table. I fixed our plates and went out to get everyone from outside...when I came back in, the dog was almost on the table, finishing off the last plate! I was so angry at that dog!

Then the other morning we were eating breakfast...yogurt with granola and bluberries -yum, and he sneezed. "Mommy, I have have something SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny to tell you. I had yogurt in my mouth and I 'bless youed' and it came out of my nose when I 'bless youed'!" I love that he calls sneezing 'bless youing' and he has started this whole description thing when he wants to tell us something. He also must say to me one thousand times a day.."mommy, I need to tell you something"..and my reply, all one thousand times is "I am listening..."

More to come under the heading of 'musings, by henry'. I may even play catch up and plug some in as I remember...Mom, I wish I had listened to you.

4 month old ruby

Here she is, Miss Ruby...Rubes, Peanut, Peanut Butter, Beans....all the names we call her in a day. She is already 4months old and almost 5! She has had an eventful month as she's learned so many things!
She's learned to 'gurgle' and it's her favorite sound! She sounds like the 'Wookie' from Star Wars (chewbacca)...I have NO IDEA how to spell that)...its quite funny.
She also has begun reaching for her toys and playing with them. She is putting them in her mouth now and is chewing on anything that she can get...our fingers included. She can even put her pappy (pacifier) in her own mouth!
Miss Ruby is also trying to roll over...she can get almost all the way over, its just that her arm keeps getting in the way! Its very frustrating!

She's is still up a couple of times at night, but we are working on that! We'll get there...I just keep encouraging her!








She is still in love with her two big brothers and I am delighted with the attention they give to her. Henry calls himself her 'tector' (protector) and Harry loves to share her toys. they both love to make her laugh and she just squeals with delight! Gosh, I just feel so blessed! We love you peanut butter.
