Fourteen! Somehow, Henry is sailing through his teenage years, and I\u2019m still trying to figure out how we got here so quickly.<\/div>\n

Henry has always had a way of seeming older than his years. It\u2019s his wit, mostly. He\u2019s quick with a clever comeback, has a great sense of humor, and can make us laugh when we least expect it. He\u2019s funny, kind, and incredibly smart. He also has a strong will, which means he knows what he thinks and isn\u2019t always easily persuaded otherwise. Let\u2019s just say he keeps us on our toes!<\/p>\n

One of the things we love most about Henry is that there is so much more to him than meets the eye. He can sometimes come across as flighty, but underneath that chaotic demeanor is a kid who is dependable, thoughtful, and hardworking. He\u2019s often underestimated, and I think that makes watching him grow so interesting. He doesn\u2019t always announce what he\u2019s capable of. Sometimes, he just quietly gets on with it and surprises everyone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Henry has already visited more than 60 countries, and adventure has become a pretty normal part of his life. He\u2019s usually up for trying most things, whether that means exploring somewhere new, learning a new skill, or throwing himself into an experience he hasn\u2019t had before.<\/p>\n
