Henry is on the move part 2

Every day Henry loves to practice his new skills. This video is not high quality; it was taken with my cell phone. We are in more need of a camcorder by the day!

Henry is on the move

Today marked a very special day for Henry........he learned to crawl! I should have known that something was going to happen since he woke up at 5:20 ready to start the day. And when he has woken early before, something developmental is in the works.

Before now, he has creeped on his belly and has gotten around pretty well, but today he put it all together. Mom and Dad are very proud of his accomplishments; Dasher on the other hand will probably wish he still remained in one spot.

Hope you enjoy the action shots of him working his way towards the remote (what a man thing to do!)

Welcome LaKeisha!

Last week we said goodbye to Katy as Henry's nanny because she moved back to Minneapolis. She will be missed and we are glad that we can keep in touch. At the same time, we welcomed LaKeisha into Henry's life. Already she has started sign language and has a trip to the library planned for this week. We are glad that we found LaKeisha and look forward to all of the fun to be had with her.

Swinging

This weekend we bought a swing that fits on the side of our driveway. I would have preferred it to be in the backyard, hanging from a limb, but none were strong enough. And this way, he avoids the golf balls.

Just catching up on my reading

I bought Henry a new counting board book about dogs and as you can tell he really liked it. I hope that this pose will be repeated for years to come.

Henry is 7 months old

I know I sound like a broken record, but how time flies. Henry turned 7 months old today and crazy to think we are closer to him being 1 than to when he was born. The latest milestone is that he is able to get on all fours and rock back and forth, so any day now, he is going to actually start crawling forward. We're definitely not ready yet for that.

We meet again.....

Last weekend, Mark and I hosted a dinner for his Frito team at our house and we invited the Baker's over early so that Landon and Henry could get reacquainted. They had met back in November when they were only a month or so old (see post dated 11/17/08).

Landon is about 1 month older than Henry and definitely more on the move. He was very anxious to touch Henry. Henry, however, was pretty tentative. I wonder how/if this interaction will translate to future friendships.


Henry saying: "Nice to meet you. Can I hold your hand?"


Henry thinking: "Man, this guy plays rough"


Henry concluding: "This guys is pretty nice and I wish I had that hair"
