Snow Day

We finally had enough snow for Henry to play in! He had so much fun. In fact I think he might be obsessed because every morning he gets up now and asks for snow and then wants to look out the window to see if there is any snow :) Here are a few pictures from our snow day.



On our way inside!

So I was changing Henry's diaper the other night and he kept kicking me. So I pinned his legs down with mine but then he started hitting me... this is what we ended up with :)

Eating...

     We are still waiting to get our CD with our family pictures on it. I can't wait to get it and post all of the pictures :)

     Henry and eating have not been very good companions for, oh ,the last 6 months or so. I mean the kid eats like half a handful of food and says he is good for the day. I know, I know... "some kids just don't eat that much." Well when you are that child's mother you feel like you are starving them each day. We have tried all sorts of tricks and still he has not wanted to eat much at all. BUT, this past week we have made some breakthroughs with his eating habits... or tastes.
     The other day, Mackay and I were trying to figure out what to have for dinner. Mackay always likes to find a carb (pasta, rice, etc.), and then a meat, and so forth. Well he mentioned rice and I said I did not feel like that. So we were about to move on until Henry started yelling, "Rai, rai, rai!" In case you are wondering, that is how he says "rice." So Mom was out-voted that night, and we had rice. I think Henry has had rice every night since then. He asks for it at every meal and downs it like there is no tomorrow. So I am going to have to find a few more ways to make rice because sticky rice everyday sounds nasty to me, though my boys would be in heaven :)
     OK, next food story. Mackay and I celebrated Valentines Day last night, so I made Mackay's favorite food for dinner: salmon. I made some extra just in case Henry wanted to eat some. And boy am I glad I did. He ate as much salmon as I did! To really appreciate this, you have to understand what a hard time we have had getting Henry to eat any kind of meat at all. He does not like sandwiches with meat on them - he only wants the cheese; he will not eat the hamburger in Shepherds Pie but only wants the potatoes and green beans; and on and on. I think Spaghetti is the only meal we have made that he will eat the meat in. So Mackay and I were shocked when Henry just downed a whole salmon filet. Haha he even finished before I did and then asked both me and Mackay for ours :)

Conclusion: my son has very expensive tastes :)

Baby bump and pics of Henry

Things have been good around here. I got my washer and dryer last night and have been doing laundry all day long and loving every second of it! Henry has been wanting me to take pictures of him the last couple of days. Most of the pictures on this post are ones that he asked for :) I also threw in a baby bump picture for those of you who are far but still want to see my belly grow.
