Henry can't get enough. He is calling them "num nums."

It was suspiciously quiet.

Then we heard water running. This is what we found when we went upstairs.

Henry's added a new trick to his repertoire

In the toilet

Overheard

ANDREW: I have many goals in life, but one of them is to grow a handlebar mustache before I go to college... And if I can't be an entomologist I want to be the guy who swallows swords in the shark tank at Shedd Aquarium.

Tonight in the car...

ANDREW: Gaylord Street?!? Why Gaylord Street?

ME: Gay used to mean "happy."

GINGER: Gaylord is a name.

...

ETHAN: Wait. Did you say gay used to mean happy?

ME: Yep.

ETHAN: So that's why on the Flintstones song they say they'll have a "gay old time"?

ME: Yep.

...

ETHAN: I thought it was different.

Overheard

ME: Andrew, what kind of sushi do you want for your birthday?
ANDREW: Any invertebrate.

Moving day

Overheard

ETHAN: Sophie took the cookie that I licked.
GINGER: Why did you lick one of the cookies?
ETHAN: To reserve it.
SOPHIE: Well, I don't taste any licks.

Overheard

SOPHIE: When I grow up my name is going to be Bertha.

But we've never seen anything like this in our family before, and we can't get enough of it around here.  He moves around through a combination of ninja rolls and army crawls.  Here is how he sneaks under the barbed wire:

We find it both hilarious and endearing. He is having fun exploring, finding things to get into, doors to open, beds to jump off of, etc.  He loves his freedom, but still prefers to be carried around.

Hooray for summer
