Da-Da-Da-Da....

First came Mmmm Ma-Ma! Then came Da-Da-Da-Da Da-Da! It happened on Easter Sunday as we were sitting around the breakfast table with the Ross & Gordon families. Auntie Amy was holding Henry who happened to be facing Daddy. Henry started to babble and then at the end of his conversation, we heard a distinct "Da-Da!" Our little boy is growing up so quick before our eyes and before we know it he will be talking a mile a minute.

Solid Foods, Finally!

We started introducing solids to Henry when he was six months old. First was rice cereal which after the initial bite was met with disgust and gagging. Next up was bananas and then apple sauce...neither had a lasting effect. Over the course of the past month we have been introducing a variety of foods and we could barely get past one bite. THEN, today, for some unknown reason, Henry decided he liked solid foods! What was the trick? A dash of persistence, a smidge of patience and a jar of oatmeal, banana, peaches blend! Vuala! A half jar of baby food was consumed! We were so excited and had to capture this monumental moment on video...see below.

Rubber Ducky, You're the One!

Henry LOVES bath time and especially his rubber ducky. He kicks his feet and splashes water all around soaking me and the floor in front of the tub. During his last bath he placed his ducky in his mouth, bit the tail and let go. All that was left was a smiling boy with this orange ducky sticking out of his mouth. I couldn't resist and had to caputre this one...too cute!

Six-Month Portraits

We took Henry for his six month portraits on his half birthday - March 22nd. As he always does, he hammed it up for the camera, sticking out his tongue, giving his special smile that melts hearts and being his cute little self! Sure makes it hard to pick out which pictures to get prints of, as you can see...

Mmmm Ma-Ma!

Henry's first words! Brad and his mom have been teaching Henry the "M" sound. Sure enough, he started saying "ma-ma" and I heard it for the first time on Friday. It made my day =) This weekend I made it a point to capture his first words on video. He's been very vocal making new sounds each day. I'm sure "da-da" will be just around the corner...Also, here are some cute pictures of Henry reading his bilingual baby book!
