Happy Birthday to Me!

Henry had a good birthday, although he didn't realize it! He only managed half a cupcake, and then his big brother opened most of his presents. He did manage to play with his big balloon though and I think that was enough for him. :)

That's him on the Left... apparently.

What he's been up to...

Henry is approaching one year old, and he's into everything! He likes banging things, making noise, splashing, eating, his bottle, and playing with whatever his older brother is - you get the idea!

Doing fine

Stuck in the nowhere land between being a baby and being a toddler. He does crawl quickly though and pulls up on anything and everything. In general, a fairly happy baby (so far!)

On Holiday

Here's Henry in a Japanese boy's kimono. Borrowed from his 2nd cousin, it's meant to worn by the first born boy in a posed serious photo. This is the best we got!



On a more relaxed note, he seems to be enjoying California food on his holiday.

Movement

Haven't added a picture to make the point, but Henry has officially begun crawling today. He's been creeping for weeks but is now locomoting in a forward direction on hands and knees. In the past few days, he has also begun pulling himself to standing and cruising briefly along the furniture. Ain't no stoppin' him now.

Swings

Henry got to spend some time on a swing from this morning's walk.
