Milestones Galore

Where do we begin? Over this past month, Henry has been surprising us each day with more "firsts." He can now sit up on his own. We found him sitting up in his crib one morning and now he likes to sit up once we lay him down for a nap. A fun new first. He also surprised us one day when he started to clap his hands. Whenever we say "Yeah!" he gets all excited and claps his hands together. We're starting to teach him patty cake and he's learning quickly. Henry has advanced from the one-armed camando crawl to a two-armed scoot. We're still waiting for him to crawl on his hands and knees, but he's not quite ready for that yet. Henry now can feed himself too! This has been quite fun, as you can see below with the baked beans. Last but not least, we found tooth #5 working its way up his gums!!! This definitely explains the fussiness lately. Henry's personality is shining through. He is a very observant boy, very curious and always looking around. He loves anything with wheels that he can push back and forth on the floor. Of course he loves his two doggies, Thor and Vader too. When they play fight with each other Henry chimes right in with his own growls. Henry loves spending time with Daddy during the day and always enjoys Nana's visits twice a week. We love him so much and can't believe he's growing so quickly!

Henry, did you get into your diaper or is that baked beans?
Whoa! Hold back the beans mom! Dad's gonna have fun changing this diaper tomorrow..

Good stuff! Do I get a bath after this?


Wait. Where did those beans go?

Playing with a beach ball at Seafair. We had fun hanging out with Grandpa & Grandma, Jessie, MJ, Jacob and Levi. Uncle Dan even stopped by to say hi, too!
Can you see my new tooth? It's next to my bottom right tooth. It's little, but it's there =)
Riding on daddy's shoulders so I could watch the hydros!
Blue Angels!!! Henry LOVED watching the planes in the sky. On Wednesday we took Patches, Nana and Aunt Amy out in the boat and Henry got soooo excited every time a plane or helicopter flew by. He's definitely a boy!
Yummy watermellon!
I like watermellon!
