Tomorrow, (10/22/08) Henry will be six months old! We cannot believe how quickly time has passed. He is growing and changing every day and is such a wonderful boy. Henry is nearly always happy and content, and can be counted on to give you a giant smile whenever you talk to him.

Speaking of talking…Henry is saying “ma-ma”!!!! It is wonderful and I haven’t gotten tired of hearing him say that yet!

Henry is desperately wanting to crawl. He can really get around with rolling, and is close to crawling. To be on par with Hannah, Henry would need to be crawling by mid-December…however, we think he’ll crawl before then. He can get his little bottom up in the air, and holds his body up really well….He just can’t quite figure out how to move himself forward. He is VERY fast with the rolling though. He is also close to sitting up by himself. He can “tripod” sit (sit while holding himself up with his hands), and can  walk backwards while sitting in his walker.

He is eating some solid foods now. He loves homemade bananas and applesauce, and also likes pears. He is slowly getting used to taking carrots, and will take two or three spoonfuls of sweet potato. He instantly threw up green beans.

He continues to sleep really well for us. Henry will sleep from 7:00 pm until around 6:00 am, have a bottle, and then sleep until around 8:00. He takes 2-3 naps during the day as well.

His favorite things are definitely Hannah, musical toys, and anything he can put in his mouth. We are having so much fun with him, and feel really lucky to have a son like him. Enjoy the pictures!!
