I know, I know every mother says this, but it is so hard to believe that Henderson is 18 months old now. Stephen and I have both noticed some changes as he becomes more mature and independent. He amazes me everyday with the things he learns and can do. He continues to be so busy and into everything. He really tries to imitate so many words and talks more and more. He is great and identifying things and even surprises us sometimes at things he knows.
He currently LOVES Sesame Street (not a big fan of the "Abby's Flying Fairy School" part if you are familiar with Sesame Street). Elmo is still his favorite. I have seen him become a little more interested in other things on TV (all PBS Kids stuff) like Super Why (Super Readers...? I am learning) and dare I say, Barney. I try not to let him watch too much TV, but he definitely loves it. We have noticed that he really likes playing with other kids around his age now. I have also had to deal with some snatching, pushing, etc. which I know is going to happen, but sometimes it is so embarrassing! He has started to really seem to enjoy his daycare class. He never cries anymore when he is dropped off! What a nice feeling (took long enough!) He is still the best sleeper ever. He never fights us at bedtime and sometimes he will even go in his room and point to his bed when he is ready to get in. I say prayers constantly that little Lincoln will be the same way! He, like most kids, loves being outside and it has been so limited lately do to the weather. Henderson looks at books constantly and I love reading to him. He has so many that we ready over and over. I guess some of his favorites are Knuffle Bunny, Icky Sticky Frog, and Goodnight Moon. He really likes these recordable books that my mom has given him too (where she is the one reading the story). He is really great about playing with his toys in our playroom. We have been lucky to have some real winners in the toy department. These are some of our current favs... of course there are more, but to be honest I got lazy.

I seriously don't know what we played with in the bathtub before cousin Frank gave Henderson this for Christmas. I am going to be buying some of these for birthday gifts (so if you have a child that is a friend of Henderson don't go buy one of these!) 
Henderson got these for his birthday back in July from the Brown family. They are the most adorable eggs (the brand is Tomy) and Henderson has never lost interest. I can't tell you how often the tops get put on and off in a day. Don't tell Henderson, but I actually use these in a lot of my therapy sessions too. I haven't met a kid that doesn't take interest in these).
We haven't even gotten to the water part of this table yet, but if it is half the fun of the sand side then we are in for a fun spring and summer.
Loves to ride, but still can't steer! He is just so darn cute on it. Way cuter than the kid in this picture...hehehe!
This is a great alternative to getting a kitchen set. (Not that we were apposed to that, but this just takes up way less room.) We also use it indoors and out!
This is actually supposed to go on your fridge (hence the name), but since we have stainless steel this thing is housed on our washing machine. GREAT toy!
These last two are ones that we hear all.day.long! Whew! Very entertaining!
