Henry 500

Henry - 500 days old

Top Five Things You Don't Know About Henry

1. He has so little body fat he can't retain his body heat. This means that when exiting the tub after bath time his little hands and feet turn a slight pale bluish color and sometimes his teeth chatter. (Note: He's immediately wrapped in a large towel, dried off, and clothed in his pajamas and socks. We keep the thermostat set between 68 and 70.)
2. When he wants to read a book, he will drag one to wherever you are, plop down, and wait for you to sit down beside him and begin reading. We have read books all over the condo, including the kitchen and the hallway by the spare bathroom.
3. He giggles if you honk his kneecaps.
4. He does a great impersonation of a firetruck siren.
5. He has a gentle disposition and an unending curiosity.

Happy 500 Days Mr. Henry! You are curious, intelligent, and delightful.
And you could tell your mama you only wanna bathe in hot tubs.

Um, I hate to point this out but your title is very misleading. I did in fact know two of those things (#4 and #5) already and I could have guessed #1 and #2. As for #3, I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. Happy 500, Henry!

I'd like to ad that he's very gracious with his sharing skills, espically when it comes to binkies.

#2 is so cute. You must be so delighted and proud. ;-)
