Over the past week or so, Charlie has started to show serious interest in Henry's big boy toys, and in turn, Henry has started to show major interest in Charlie. Almost like he is trying to play with Charlie. One thing is for sure, never ever again can we leave the two of them alone in the same room. Yesterday, I walked in on 1) Henry dropping a plastic egg from 3 feet above Charlie directly on Charlie's head 2) Henry pretending Charlie was in his way and "stepping" over him, but every once in a while stepping "on" him and 3) Henry showing Charlie his 2.5 foot long firetruck (in pics below) and driving straight into Charlie's face. 9 out of 10 times, Charlie laughs when Henry "plays" like this - he LOVES Henry. However, I also saw Henry taking a small toy away from Charlie and sweetly telling him "Sorry Charlie, this is too small for you", giving him "blow fishes" on his forehead (see pics below) and trying to explain different toys to him - it was all very sweet and of course, not all bad. 

Henry giving Charlie blow fish kises - Charlie was LAUGHING!

Henry was crawling along with Charlie - everywhere he went!

Sweet naked baby with Henry's firetruck..he actually looked when I called his name.

Mom - I'm getting rug burn:

Charlie trying to escape Henry's messy kisses:

Little man is naked because I was putting him in PJs, but saw some cute photo ops - he is not always naked, though it may look like it here. 

Henry had his very first playdate yesterday with Ry from daycare. He went over to Ry's house which is just a few blocks away from us. Those boys play HARD and Henry came back Rytized (as I call it) - he was full of P and V for sure, but that could be because he didn't nap yesterday. On that note, Henry is in his room now thumping around (it sounds like he is building a missile of some sorts?) - so I may be in trouble again today. PLEASE don't be too old for naps Henry!!! Just when Charlie has become a relatively good napper for me, Henry is napping less and less frequently. Boo, Hiss. 

Henry's funny new phrases of the week are: 

"Daddy/Mommy, I need to show you something" and "Oh...my...gosh..." (he got a new "incredible machines" book from Costco yesterday and everything is "oh..my...gosh...I need to show you something!" He is such a big boy now! Love, B
