Merry Christmas!


Henry wore the new monster hat from his stocking all day long!


He was even a cozy little monster while he took a nap.


King Henry played happily with his crown.


Henry enjoyed eating lots of new things from the faceless elf to cassoulet and even leg of lamb!


Ho, ho, ho!

Chompers

He's working on at least one new tooth for Christmas, possibly more. Every time I try to look in his mouth he chomps my fingers!

This Week

Don't mess with a hungry Henry!

Henry just cut tooth number five.

Henry pulls himself up onto anything.

And happily moves all over the place!

Mister Sneaky

This is what Henry looks like when he tries to "sneak" food to the dog from his high chair. Henry and Max are really going to miss each other.


Happy Carrots

:(

Little Man has the flu. Glad he's able to keep some milk down now and get some rest. Hopefully he'll feel more like his cheerful little self when he wakes up.

Chompers




Henry has been very busy getting his two top teeth... OUCH! They are definitely a bear. The poor little guy is grinding and dragging his top and bottom teeth against each other and it makes the worst sound ever! Hopefully he figures out a better use for them than scraping against each other.

Wave

Henry started waving hello and goodbye this morning! It is so cute to see him open and close his chubby little fist at his own face as he giggles and coos.

Choo Choo!




Henry had fun playing (eating) trains for the first time yesterday. I think there may be a lot of track building in his future.

Poor kiddo is cutting his top two front teeth. They have just barely broken down through his gums. Little man has been a little fussier than usual, full of drool and extra excited to put anything in his mouth. Soon he'll be able to use his top and bottom chompers to eat more exciting food.

Pillow Pal Henry



This weekend Henry was a sweet little angel at Grandma Helen's funeral. He loved being all warm and fuzzy in his polar fleece snow suit. A cousin visiting from out of state said she thought Henry was just really photogenic. Then she met him and discovered he really is THAT cute. :)

Cough Cough

Poor little Henry woke up wheezing and coughing Monday morning, so we ended up at the doctor. Little man has croup! It was just about the saddest thing to see him wheezing and coughing. Luckily the wheezing hasn't been too bad and the coughing is worst first thing in the morning.

He has been feeling well enough to get back to pulling himself to a standing position. He REALLY likes standing. Unfortunately, he thinks he can walk! He will turn from a standing position like he's going to stroll away and just fall right over. The falling over doesn't seem to bother the little guy. He just pulls himself back to a standing and does it again!

Henry has started to "cruise" a bit (holding on to your fingers and taking steps). Not too much, but it's still pretty new for him.

Mr. Big Stuff

Henry is pulling himself to a standing position more. And today he started kneeling (against furniture). It's cute to see him crawl to the window and then peer outside. He continues to be very interested in all that goes on around him.

It looks like separation anxiety has started. Henry will cry when he can't immediately see me. He's ok as long as I'm in eye sight.

He's been very serious this week. Henry will remain very focused on an object of interest (ie vacuum) and stare at it, almost as if he is trying to will it to come his way! It's interesting to see this new intensity developing.

Silly Boy

Amazed with reading!


Cool Henry. The one and only time he tolerated wearing sunglasses.

Ran across this picture of sweet sleeping Henry, just 4 weeks old.


Hammimg it up, wearing a tiny bat hat.


Little dinosaur!
