Cackling with Lawson

Lawson's favorite thing to do is play ball outside.  Henry pulled out Lawson's ball and the Sling Shot to play with.  Of course, Lawson thought she was going outside to play ball but Henry had no intention of going outside.  He just wanted to tempt Lawson with the ball and he thought is was hilarious!  So funny to listen to Henry laugh.  Poor Lawson!

Water Fun with Jackson

Henry loves playing with Jackson, who lives down the street, and is about 17 months old.  They are becoming best buds.  We were going out for a walk and Henry couldn't resist joining Jackson for some water fun.  Notice Henry has his clothes on.  Oh well, at least they had a good time, right?

Peek-A-Boo!!

10 Months Old

I can't believe we are now in the double digits!!  This little man keeps getting busier and busier daily. He is the love of all our lives!!

Size-  Henry weighs about 20 lbs. He is wearing 9 and 12 month outfits. Henry is in size 3 diapers.

Development-  Henry started taking steps by himself. He takes anywhere from 3-6 steps. He took his first steps at the gym daycare. Miss Brenda came running out to tell me so I could go watch him.  Henry can now stand alone for longer periods of time. I am sure he will be an official walker in no time at all.

He pulls up on everything and cruises around the furniture. He is developing pretty good balance and can stand alone for a few seconds. Henry discovered the stairs this month and likes to crawl up them. He has no idea how to get down them.

He has 6 teeth now and a few more on the way.

He started saying "mama" and I love hearing it. He said it for about one week straight. Over and over again and then he completely stopped saying it. I hope he says it again soon.

Personality- Henry is still as active as ever. He is a mover and shaker. He is always scanning the room to see what he can get into next. He is a very happy baby. He smiles and laughs at others.

Eating- Henry is eating solids at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He also has a snack or two a day. He is eating mostly finger foods. He is breastfed or has a bottle 4 times per day. He is getting better at drinking from the sippy cup.

Sleeping-  Henry's sleep schedule is all over the place. He has been waking up at all different times. It seems to change daily. Most days he takes 2 naps that are 1 1/2 hours each.  At night, he is sleeping about 11- 11 1/2 hours. Bedtime is around 7:30 most nights.

Likes/dislikes- Henry loves eating. He eats most anything. He seeks out cords to put in his mouth. He loves to ride on his cars. He loves anything related to the toilet- flushing, pulling up the seat, etc.

He does not like having his nails clip.


Milestones/Firsts- Henry tooke his first steps at Fitness World's daycare. He said "momma" for the first time. He had his first ear infection- poor baby!

Our walker...

Henry took his first official steps not with us but at his second home, Fitness World, the gym I go too (he was 9 1/2 months).  Miss Brenda came running out to get me so I could watch him. He was about 9 1/2 months old when he took his first steps.  Since then he has taken 2-4 steps at a time.  He is by no means a walker yet but is definitely getting there.  Yesterday, Lee got some good videos of Henry walking (10 months).
