Cowboy Henry
Henry is 10 months old. He is such a cuddly, pinchable, smiley boy that everyone adores him. He is very popular at church and I rarely hold him as there are so many willing arms.
Some other updates:
- on Lucy’s birthday he took his first steps (three in a row). He now takes steps frequently but isn’t walking yet. He cruises and crawls very fast.
- he puts anything and everything in his mouth. I frequently pull out bark, paper and even pebbles from his jaws (which he attempts to clamp shut)
- he hates having his nose wiped (he’s got a cold)
- he still wakes up once a night for a bottle. For the past month its been at midnight but its just switched this week to 4am
- he loves chewing on lamb bones
- he hates being strapped into his highchair so he arches his back every time we approach it
- he still loves bath time but now instead of sitting in his chair he likes to stand in his chair
- he has his first pair of black converse shoes (size 4)
- he is wearing size 18-24 months (the cowboy suit above is size 18 months and I could hardly get him in it)
- he has a third tooth. And it is as weird as it sounds. His first two teeth are at the bottom in the middle. The third tooth is on the top, way to the left.
- he still loves banana but he also likes olives, cucumber, sweet potato, lamb, and spaghetti bolognese.
- he still says dadadada continually as well as letting out lots of grunts (loud grunts!), sometimes he says mamamamama but not to me. When he is unhappy about something his grunts become ALOT louder
- he loves waiting out on the front lawn for daddy to come home from work
- he is not sure about his new swing set. he likes it for a while but doesn’t like the restriction of being strapped in
We can’t wait for 12 months – cow’s milk, turning the car seat around, walking etc
