We are PACIFIER-FREE!

At 21 months old, Henry became pacifier free thanks to Trey's strong will and a weekend away for Mommy! :-)

Henry with his friend the paci this time last year...



It actually was not near as bad as I expected even though our child had been completely addicted. We did have some sleeping issues for about two weeks after we took it away but nothing that would ever tempt me to give it back. The only problem now is that Henry does not want to go to sleep. He fights it terribly which he never, ever used to do. Oh well! Once he goes to sleep he stays asleep and that is the most important thing! ;-)

Trey since I am out of town next weekend for a few days can you please have potty training finished by the time I get back?! ;-) Love you!

Our lazy weekend mornings...

...spent reading the paper (definitely Trey's son reading the Best Buy advertisment...ha!)...



...and relaxing! (Most of us have our clothes on but Henry would rather not!) :-)

Wheel of Fortune

Some evenings if Trey is not home from work I will turn Wheel of Fortune on to entertain Henry while I am cooking dinner. He loves to "call out letters"! Although the only letter he usually calls out is "B" so needless to say he is not really solving a whole lot of puzzles! ;-)

You can't stop him!

One evening Trey and I were in the kitchen cooking and Henry walked in chewing on something...



It was the doorknob cover we purchased to keep Henry from opening the doors! He had popped that cover right off! So much for safety!

I guess it might be Harvard for you after all! :-)

This kid LOVES...

...to play in the car! I have no idea what the appeal is but as soon as we walk outside he wants to hop in and play. He climbs up and over the seats, "drives", pushes all of the buttons, turns the lights on and off...having a blast!




This is the only way that I can get him to sit still for even a second....buckle him in! ;-)

"I'll show you! Buckling me in won't even stop me! You're going to have to do better than that!"

Mommy LOVES her little man! :-)

Potty Time

We have introduced Henry to the potty. Boy, this is one phase that I am dreading!!

Henry meeting his new friend, the Potty Monkey....



Can't you tell he is really taking this potty thing very seriously?! ;-)

As of press time, Henry still has not actually used the potty. He points to it and says "pee pee" and sits on it before bathtime but nothing yet. We will keep you all updated on this very exciting time in our lives. :-)

Is that Henry or an elephant?!

Fair Time!

One of our favorite times of the year is South Carolina State Fair time! ;-)

Henry too distracted to take a picture...



Cotton candy (a weakness of mine) sure got his attention!



"They've been holding out on me! This stuff is GOOD!" ;-)



Trey Bradley's weakness is the fair games. Now normally he goes after reasonable prizes which is fine. Not on this day! On this day, he won a great, big, massive dog. Trey's wife...not impressed but middle school boys....very impressed! ;-)



Henry on a sugar low and Daddy's very large prize...

On a side note, Henry loves the dog and thinks he is hilarious. It is sitting in the corner of his bedroom and that is alright with me for now. Next year though Trey will not be playing fair games unsupervised! ;-)

Already A Cubs Fan!

Henry, hopefully in your lifetime you will see the Chicago Cubs win a World Series! ;-)

Happy 2nd Birthday Nolan!

Henry's best friend Nolan turned 2 at the end of October and his Mommy hosted a playdate to celebrate!

Lots of kids tearing up the Wolfe home...



Henry's favorite part of birthday parties....the cake!



Happy Birthday Nolan! We hope this is your best year yet! :-)
