Henry is 9 months old! He is all over the place these days, crawling and climbing as much as he can. He's getting more and more brave with his standing and cruising. He chatters a lot, and we hear lots of mamamamas and dadadadas and bababababs but no actual words yet, as far as we can tell. He loves peek-a-boo, and is starting to recognize our names when we say "Where's Maggie?" or "Where's Daddy?" Henry eats five times a day, nursing twice a day, two meals of solids with bottles and one bedtime bottle. He's getting much better at feeding himself and snacks on Cheerios and puffs really well, but doesn't get too adventurous with any of the other finger foods just yet. Henry already has six teeth! The bottom middle two and the top middle two, plus two more on the top that are just coming in.
He loves playing outside and gets annoyed when Maggie gets to go out on rainy days and he doesn't. The stacking rings, blocks and cups are always favorite toys, and he's also gotten good at pushing cars (and really anything else that he gets his hands on) along the floor. We've made the switch to a convertible carseat, just in time for a long road trip to Louisiana. He's also got a super pretty head of hair, with some curl in the back. Business in the front, party in the back, as Clay said. These photos don't do it or his big smile justice...
