Earnst Boys+Nantz Boys = Water Park FUN!!!

Jean drove her cute boys down on her own birthday to go to the James Island Splash Zone with us and it was so much fun! The big boys did great and we were so glad Conner got to enjoy the H2O with his waterproof caste.
This one about gave me a heart attack all day with his ZERO fear of the water. I had to stay right by his side all day.

Thank you so much for spending such a fun day with us! We can't wait to come to Cola soon:)

15 Months

• 
  
  You are a MESS...as the picture above indicates:)


• 
  
  You are into EVERYTHING and are soooo curious.


• 
  
  You are a PERMANENT attachment to Mama! I used to wish for a "mama's boy" b/c Henry really isn't and i've got one. I can't get two inches from you w/o you totally melting down. I'm flattered, but kinda ready for it to pass.


• 
  
  You are starting to express yourself better with some new words, but mostly Daddy and I are the only ones who can understand them.


• 
  
  You say: hot, daddee, daa ( ball), boon (spoon and balloon), bubba (bubbles), cacka (cracker), cookoo (cookie), waaa (water), mama (only every now and then), caa (car), Da (Pops), tish (fish).


• 
  
  You LOVE LOVE LOVE music and love to dance! You must get your rhythm from me;)


• 
  
  You are happiest when you are outside!


• 
  
  You love the pool and have no fear.


• 
  
  You are a terrible eater and sometimes I wonder how you sustain yourself on just crackers and fruit.


• 
  
  You love most fruits, but it's really a coin toss as to whether you'll eat at meal times. Dr. T says you are doing just fine and to keep offering new things and eventually you'll get it.


• 
  
  You are down to one nap a day now. You go down at around 1 or so and sometimes sleep 2 to 3 hours. LOVE IT!!! Now if I could just get your brother to leave me alone during "rest time" we'd be good;)


• 
  
  I love you more than the moon and the stars Manning. You melt my heart:)

  height: 33 inches - 95%


•

Family Vaction 2011 - Pisgah Forest, NC

We traveled to the Mountain House last week for our Family Vaca 2001 and had a blast! We did a lot of relaxing, a few side trips, played a lot of basketball, slept, hiked, ate, and just spent some good QT with each other.



Henry learned that he LOVES b-ball. And, as you can imagine, this THRILLS his mama!!!

Fifth's Disease

My baby has some FUNKY rash from head to toe and I could still eat him UP!!!
Fifth's disease (slapped cheek disease) is a mild viral illness common in children that causes a low grade fever (Monday night) along with a nasty rash. The fever is gone but the rash continues to get worse. And the heat makes it really flare up and since we spend the majority of our days playing outside, he looks rough. It doesn't bother him too bad though I don't think.

Henry had it when he was about this age too.

Comes with the territory of "toddlerhood"!

Atlanta Braves

I walked into Henry's room the other night and found his "jamas" on the floor. (No they don't match, but I don't fight that fight!)

He must have decided he wanted to be an Atlanta Brave for the night, so he put on his "suit and went night night!"

Funny kid:)
