Crazy About Peas

Chomp Chomp

I'm grateful Henry doesn't mind wearing hats, since the weather has begun to cool down.

Henry has been a trooper through the arrival of his first tooth. It's easier to see the tooth if you're looking for it, but not quite noticeable in photographs. Friends with young children suggested the Sophie Giraffe teething toy and it has been a lifesaver.

Not Tired

This morning Henry had fun inspecting and trying to eat a ribbon sewn onto a diaper cloth.

Two minutes later he fell asleep on his own with his talking puppy. Poor kiddo, growing up is exhausting!

Last night Henry wore his first size 12 months pajamas. Henry just starting wearing 9 months clothes! He seems to be growing at an astonishing pace, particularly during the last week. When we saw his cousin Bubbie this week (who is five) she exclaimed, "Oh Maddie! His head had gotten bigger!" :-)

Henry is getting really quick with his army crawl and is getting around really easily now. He is spending a lot of time on all fours rocking back and forth. I expect he'll explode into the the traditional crawl at any moment.

Talkative Eater

This video is of Henry noisily eating a teething biscuit after dinner. When Henry was a new eater he would yell, holler, squeal and groan with joy the whole time he was eating. It's pretty cute.

What Biscuit?

This Week

Henry has had big week, his first tooth (front bottom left) broke through and it looks like more are on the way. He has been making funny faces with his tongue hanging out, trying to feel his tooth and chewing on his index finger.

Henry had his first stomach flu. (Sad!) Luckily, it did not last long and Henry was fine with some extra cuddling and lots of holding.

Henry is getting really good at sitting unsupported and can squirm/army crawl wherever he wants to go. He pops up and down on to his knees and hands but has not figured out the traditional crawl. Very soon, he will be into everything!

Henry makes happy little grunts and squeaks as he crawls around and loves crawling toward Max. He is anxious to get close to the cats but they are quick enough to avoid Henry's sticky little baby hands.

Crawling

Henry crawls toward his toys. :-)
