Winter Wonderland!

This weekend we took Henry to a place called Winter Wonderland in Salado which is about 15 minutes from here. There was a huge billboard on I-35 that had a picture of it so we thought the kids would like it. We pulled up and it was an old house with some animals in a barn about the size of our garage!!! It was pretty funny!! But he didn't care! He had so much fun!!

He loved petting the animals!!




We went with our friends and their son Luke!

He thought it was soooo funny!

This place had rented a moon bounce in the front yard :)

They had fun!

Soooo excited!!

Talkin' to daddy!

On a fun hay ride that went around the back yard!! :)

This was his favorite part! He rode a horse!!

He smiled and laughed the whole time!!

Walking!!!!

Some of his first steps!!!

This week.....

Ok...so I know this picture is awful, but I had to share what happened! So, this week I had a really bad sore in my mouth. Usually I just let them go away over time. This time my "friend" :) Tam decided I should use silver nitrate to burn it off. You can see where this is going..... So I put it on there for less than a second and the pain was Awful. She told me that I had to leave it on until the pain stopped which meant all the nerves had been burnt off. I put it back on and held it for 3 minutes!!!!! My eyes were watering, my nose was running and I thought I was dying :)

Needless to say, the pain NEVER went away and for 3 days I had a severe chemical burn and a hole in my lip that kept bleeding!!! After talking to 4 doctors, a dentist a nurse and a hygenist, they all concluded that I was crazy and apparently you are only supposed to keep silver nitrate on a wound for 1-2 seconds...not 3 minutes!

Anyway, I am all healed now and wanted to let everyone know that silver nitrate is a bad idea :)

Henry had spagetti for dinner :)

Then he got a little tired :)


He is walking everywhere now!! Still a little wobbly but so excited!!

He is a big cheese now...

He loves making this face!

Christmas Time!!!

This is Henrys new favorite thing to do. He pulls open the drawers and climbs inside! I'm just waiting for the time he does it and I'm not there to hold the drawer up...we might have a crash! :)

We have finally gotten the house all ready for Christmas! Something about Christmas decorations just make the house so much warmer!!

(I know, our tree is sad....when I bought it I thought it was much bigger that this :(

Ever since Henry's birthday party our house has become a small branch of Toys R Us!!

There are toys everywhere! He has so much fun!

In other exciting news....Henry took 4 steps yesterday!!!!

We are so excited! It comes and goes, but he still gets really scared and wants to crawl most of the time. Hopefully he will be walking around soon!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bump :(

Henrys new favorite thing is to throw his toys out of the bath tub. But yesterday, he decided to jump out after them! He stood up and jumped out head first before I could catch him!!

Needless to say, he has a nice bump on his head! The crazy thing is after I got him calmed down, I put him back in the tub thinking he could play a little more, and the first thing he did was throw his toys out and try to jump out again!! Glad he learned his lesson :)
