H-isms

Y'all, H is 20 Months Old.

But H Man has been developing quite the vocabulary, which I call H-isms.

He is becoming quite the Mommy's Helper.  

He loves to help throw my freshly folded clothes in the floor to "help" Mommy with laundry.  He recently discovered the broom.  

He likes to walk around the house and point out dirt and leaves on the floor to me, usually bringing them to me to throw away.  

He can't stand for drawers to be opened and closes all of them.  

He likes to arrange his toys and stuffed animals in neat little rows, and "reorganize" under the bathroom cabinets.  

He likes to pack for school...

He likes to read his daily progress reports...

And he loves to be tickled...

He's growing like crazy, and we're doing our best to keep up!
