Hank's Favorite Things

1. Sweet Treats - cookies, brownies, and icecream. Hank has only recently discovered chocolate but he has already developed an addiction. He loves to share bites with mom and dad whenever we have dessert. He gets excited when we go to the grocery store because they always give him a free cookie at the bakery.

2. Being Outdoors

3. Reading Books

4. Watching big kids play

5. When Daddy comes home - As soon as Hank hears the sound of the garage door raising, he starts yelling for "dada" and comes running to the door.

6. His blankie - just this past week Hank has become really lovey with his blankie. He drags it around in one hand wherever he goes, chews on it, hugs it, and lays on top of it. Of course, Hankie also loves his binkie.

7. Giving kisses - when he's in an amorous mood, look out because he just starts laying big wet ones on anyone in kissing distance.

8. Ds. Of all the noises and words he's mastered, he really likes the consonant 'D' the most.

9. Playing at the park

10. Making a mess - I really think its a talent that Hank is able to tear the house limb from limb in five seconds flat.

11. Cheerios - real or pretend. Hank loves to snack on Cheerios or pretend that he is eating them in the picture in his Cheerio book.

12. Bathtime

13. Singing songs

14. The pantry - if we leave the door to the pantry open a half-inch, Hank can be found sitting on the floor surrounded with all his bags and boxes of baby food.

15. Being Surprised - instead of old fashioned peek-a-boo, Hank likes it when I sneek up on him and roar. He gets startled and then immediately bursts into laughter.

16. Being Naked

17. Pushing buttons - I know he likes to push my buttons, figuratively, but he really likes to push the real buttons: remotes, DVD players

18. Keys

19. Taking walks

20. Mom and Dad!
