Cars and Trucks and Things That Go!

An update on this nearly-two-year-old and some of his favorite things:

A boy and his bulldozer (and Mommy's shoes!)

Henry loves, and I mean loves, motor vehicles and other things that go!  He is not very picky: he loves, and can name and identify, just about all of them.  Garbage trucks, recycling trucks, bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, cement mixers, trailer trucks, tow trucks, ambulances, police cars, school buses, firetrucks, etc.  Henry is the Bubba Gump of truck names.

Henry also loves trains, planes, and helicopters.  There is a playground nearby with a train you can ride in a two-mile loop around the park grounds.  Henry LOVES it!  It is actually pretty cool and the ride is longer than I expected.

Playing with his little wooden train.  He now has a lego train set and is pretty much obsessed.

Train ride!  Lima Bean is large and in charge.

Henry's other love at this age is butterflies.  It is an odd love, but a true love.  He can spot a butterfly, real or not, from a mile away.  We were eating breakfast at an outdoor cafe one weekend and he kept pointing to the little girl at the next table over and saying "buddafly."  I kept looking for a butterfly but didn't see one, until I noticed that she had a butterfly sticker on her hand.  Henry homes in on the butterflies like no other.  We have taken him to two butterfly houses, one in NC and one here, and he loved both of them.  I can't wait until we see real butterflies in our yard!

And some final photos because he's just so darn adorable these days:

I would be remiss not to mention Henry's love for his monkey pillow.  It was originally a nursing pillow I never used for that purpose.  It is Henry's comfort item.  He has to have it to sleep and he loves to rub the tag on his face.
