Paul Henry

Not a very clear picture, but this is Paul hugging Benjamin, and Benjamin kindly put up with it for several hugs. Paul is such a cuddly boy, always giving out hugs!

We're thinking about making Paul wear this helmet all of the time!


Paul is 15 months old now--actually he'll be 16 months next week already! He weighs in at 21 lb, 13 oz (20%) and is 31 inches long (50%). He is so full of energy! Jonathan wishes we had a padded room to keep him safe. Paul is constantly climbing things, and trying to jump off them. He's adding more words to his vocab daily. So far, he says Mama, Dada (He's been saying "Mama" for Jonathan lately, too. He loves that!) ball, bat, golf club, ni-night, cracker, drink, cup, I do (meaning, "I want"), meow, woof, neigh, up-y, shoes, cookie, car, truck, tree, bye-bye, hi, bath, book. There's more, but that's all I can think of right now. The boy knows what he wants, and throws a huge fit when he doesn't get it or doesn't get it in a timely manner. He understands so, so much. It's amazing how quickly they soak things in--little sponges! Paul is always eager to "help" with the dishes, laundry, sweeping, vacuuming. Of course, it usually results in double the work... He's at such a fun age, but, in a word--exhausting! We love our little boy!
