The many faces of Henry

He's had his two lower incisors for a while but is now adding another lower incisor and two upper incisors. He's using them to help feed himself - grabbing fistfuls of carrot/parsnip/potato/avocado and smearing it in his mouth. No pincher grip yet but it should be a lot cleaner when he develops that! He's showing no interest in crawling, but is immensely entertained by his brother and everything else around, when he's not entertaining everyone else! This is a great age...

A Zoo

What is the best age to visit a Zoo?
Here's what it is to an almost 8 month old - sticking your feet in your older brother's hair while you mock him for having to crouch on your foot rest while you get to sit in the pushchair.

Fashion industry?

I often wonder what the future holds for him...
Here's a good over-the-shoulder shot, but he hasn't got the sashay yet.

What am I doing here?

My cheeky monkeys

Time keeps marching on....

It's more apparent when I see them together like this.









He's sitting on his own about half the time, and today decided he wanted to feed himself creamy blueberry and banana. It was messy, but at least he was happy! He also likes chewing on everything and bouncing in his door bouncer. Still not QUITE sleeping through the night yet though...

Penguin ears?

Weaning

Well, necessity is the mother of invention - or something like that. Being the second child, he doesn't get the undivided attention his brother did. So sometimes he has to fend for himself. He managed his own bottle for a few moments this morning...



But this was his response to his THIRD spoonful of mummy's homemade carrot and chickpea soup. At least his brother and I enjoyed it!
