Weekly Update - 109 weeks?

While I'm not 100% certain that Henry is 109 weeks old this week, he did just turn 25 months old. The month of April has just flown by - I can hardly believe that it's already been a month since he turned 2. We had a pretty typical week this week. Because of the unpredictable rain showers, we spent more times indoors than out - two storytimes at the library instead of the usual one. The biggest development recently is just in how much he is talking. He's putting together little mini-sentences that are so cute. A lot of them are commands like "Sit down here, Mom." He also asks and answers questions...sometimes it's because he wants me to answer in a particular way, such as "You candy? Yeah." Other times it's because he knows I am going to answer in a particular way, such as "You nurse? Noooo." He draws out the "no" just like I do - it's hilarious. I guess I should mention that he refers to himself as "you." I am trying to get him to understand that when he's talking about himself he should say "me" or "I" but so far he doesn't get it. He even answers "you" when I ask him what his name is. We ordered him an awesome new bike helmet which arrived a couple days ago - it's a Giro infant helmet with flying pigs on it. I'll have to take a picture and post it.... Henry is super in love with it and wears it around the house - most often with the baseball mitt that Brett got him, a real, leather, left-handed mitt (or would it be a right-handed mitt? Anyway, a mitt for a leftie). Geoff had gotten him a velcro mitt and ball set for his birthday that Henry loves, but unfortunately it was for the wrong hand and Henry was constantly wearing it backwards so Brett got him the real thing.
