11 months and counting...

January has flown by and Henry is rapidly approaching his 1st birthday! I can't believe it's almost here! He has moved up to a big boy car seat (thanks everyone for the much needed Christmas present- that infant seat gets heavy!!) which he loves! He is able to kick the seat (legs like his daddy!), but we will be able to turn him around soon enough! I think his favorite thing about the carseat was the box it came in! It makes a perfect fort!


We went back to Island Playground a couple of weeks ago with our Tuesday morning playgroup and Henry had a great time. His favorite thing was to climb up the ramp on the big blowup, and of course to try and go back down. He is fearless when it comes to climbing up anything and going back down. He hasn't quite gotten the going back down part, but I'm sure he will soon enough!

For those of you that don't know Henry is taking steps! I think at most he's taken about 6, but he soon realizes that he is much more effective at crawling and drops down. He loves to push things, and has learned to clap (in his own special way), throw a ball (thanks to Mimi), and he has just started mimicking what you say. It usually turns out to be only the first sound, but that's a start! He can say mama, da, ball, whoa (which is what I say when he falls), and of course no-no. He has been so much fun to watch, and we can't wait to see what comes next!
