Farm, Home, and a Christening

At 15 months, Henry is really into cars, trucks, and tractors. He has a few books that show pictures of them, and currently, these are his favorite ones to read. When we pass a car, truck or tractor, he says "caaar", "ruck", or "racta" and sometimes makes the "vrmmm vrmmm" noise. 

It makes me so proud to hear him remembering words, trying to pronounce them, and making the noises! 

Of course, I think he's the smartest baby ever. ;) 

With all of this car, truck, and tractor action, it seemed like a trip to the farm was in store soon. So, the last time we visited the grandparents, we had an afternoon full of tractors. 

It was cute to see his eyes so wide at the tractors in "real life"! 

He even got to ride one with Coot. Made. Henry's. Day! 

There was a lot of action at the farm that day...pivots were on, they were picking corn, the combines were working, and we fed the fish. Not to mention it was a gorgeous afternoon to ride in the truck! 

Back at my parents' home, the hay had recently been baled. 

This seemed like the perfect photo op to me. 

Henry, not so much.

He seemed to enjoy it at first....

...but changed his mind pretty quickly. I had to do the "crazy mommy dance" to try to get him to smile. 

And even got up there with him.

It didn't work.

While at home, we celebrated Grayson's Christening with a service at church and lunch at Vicky's. It was all wonderful!
