Busy Little Boy

Henry ate some small pieces of banana (all over his face in this picture) this week and was super happy about his new food adventure. He's been enjoying baby puffs (like cereal, but not sweetened with sugar) and he even tried some quinoa. So far he hasn't met a food he didn't love.


I may have overshot when I decided Henry wouldn't be afraid of the vacuum... this kid CHASES me around the house when I vacuum! He makes the cutest little grunts and squeaking sounds trying to catch me.

Henry pulled himself up to a standing position for the first time yesterday when he saw the cat sitting on the couch. He let out a proud and happy giggle at his own accomplishment. :)

No One Tell Him Prunes Aren't Candy

This week Henry's second tooth broke through! By Halloween his two front bottom teeth may be visible. Henry lifts his arms into the air when he wants to be picked up and his hair is getting a little thicker. He continues to get into the crawling position, rock back and forth, take one knee forward as if to crawl, then throws himself down and drags himself across the floor. Wow, is he quick! If you try to set Henry down into a sitting position he will flex/straighten his legs and sometimes give a cute little giggle.

Yum!

Henry continues to enjoy food. He is especially thrilled when he is able to hold and chew a spoon!

He seems to have perfected the army crawl. This kid has extraordinary upper body strength! Today he has been practicing moving from crawling position (where he rocks back and forth) to sitting on his bottom. And back and forth, again!

Bouncy balls have been a lot of fun to play with this week, too. He thinks they are pretty funny and laughs and giggles at them. They are proving a good distraction from what feels like an army of teeth as he tries to chew on my shoulder and anything he can get in his mouth. Poor kiddo!

When Henry wants to be picked up he lifts his arms in the air. Henry has a lot to say and likes to have long conversations. He is a very expressive boy!

Henry has been chewing anything he can get his hands on. I'm not sure if it is the same tooth coming through or new teeth, just glad the extra drool and chewing hasn't dampened his cheerful disposition.
