Here's the old stuff we took off the front page.  I'll reformat it later to look purty.

 

  Hi, I'm Henry David Smith and I was born on July 21st, 2000 after what my mommy says was a long labor (can someone tell me how long 15 hours is?)  My mommy and daddy just liked the name Henry and my middle name is the same as my daddy's first name and his middle name is the same as his daddy's first name.  So it's becoming a tradition.

Sheesh daddy! My website is in horrible shape. I'm a growing boy, my fans need to see my pictures. How long has it been since you updated the site? A year! I'm over two years old now. A lot has happened since that first birthday you know. I went as a dinosaur for Halloween. You, mom and I came down with hand, foot and mouth disease over Thanksgiving. I finally outgrew my GERD. I took my first airplane (pay-pane) ride. Okay, I will let you off easy because I do move around a lot and I like to stay active.

(Daddy's note: I've made some updates to the web server that should make it easier to keep the site up-to-date. Hmm, I think I hear a distant echo.)

Here's a personal audio message from me!

History

Wow! I turned a year old last week. We had a great big party and a lot of my friends came over to my house to play. Mommy used Veggie Tales as a theme for the party, so everyone received some fun Veggie Tales' games, masks, and coloring pages. We had a lot of fun and I missed all my friends after they went home.

On the development side of things, I'm walking a lot these days. Today, I started running and I've had to learn to slow down to go around corners. The cats aren't very happy about me being able to move so quickly. I also have 4 teeth and more coming all the time. It hurts a lot to get new teeth.

Once again, Daddy has been delinquent in updating my web pages. I've been too busy crawling, otherwise I would do it myself. My furry friends Charlotte and Pixel don't seem to be as excited about me crawling as Mommy and Daddy. Well, I guess Mommy and Daddy aren't always so thrilled about me crawling when I get into stuff I'm not supposed to.

This is the last day of Daddy's vacation, so he's trying to get my website up-to-date with everything that's happened since October. I haven't grown much, but my little muscles are getting stronger all the time. I'm really close to sitting up all by myself. Grandpa Harris says I'll probably run before I crawl. We went to the doctor in November and found out that I had GERD which is sort of like baby heartburn. Funny, I don't remember eating anything spicy.

Mommy and Daddy say things are getting easier all the time. I guess I'm going to sleep more easily which makes them much happier in the morning. We watched a lot of the Olympics because I didn't want to go to sleep until midnight. It sure was fun to watch the swimming and gymnastics. Can you believe the Mariners are in the playoffs this year. Maybe they'll whomp the Yankees and actually get to the World Series. Go John Olerud!
