April Fool

Well, it's a been a while since the last post but, as you can see from the picture to the left, Henry still has NO PROBLEMS eating.

Much has happened in these last two weeks. Henry has officially turned one (at his second party in five days - he's already a party boy), I went to Chicago for a week for work and the boys were bachelors (drinking copious amounts of apple juice and watching early morning TV), Henry stood on his own, and he got one more new tooth (that's six total). In the spirit of using what you've been given, he's also become a biter. This sweet baby who we brought into the world, then into our home and have taken care of with love and affection this last year has now turned into a biting PERSON. :) It's a bit hilarious.

The monkey has also started to commando crawl all through the house. From the kitchen, to his bedroom, to the bathroom - in about a minute or so. He looks a little crazy, but he's having a fantastic time with his new found mobility. His favorite game is chasing Sam the cat. Sam will let Henry get JUST about to him and then take off. Then Henry shreiks with joy and the game begins again. I was really worried about Sam at first (any of you that know Sam, know this was a just concern), but it turns out that cat may like having a small, impressionable playmate.















I love these two pictures. They were taken before his first birthday party (his second, first birthday party - that is) and we were having a great time. He was very chatty and was playing this fantastic game with Dave in which Henry says, "Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma" and Dave says, "Da, Da, Da, Da" and then Henry scrunches up his face and says, "Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma."
Excellent.
