henry len- 6 months














6 months:

You have changed so much over the past month.  Just as we expected, two of your bottom teeth popped through at the beginning of the month.  You took it pretty well.  Lots of chewing on anything you could get your hands on and of course, gallons of drool.  Sleep was a little touch and go for a while, but it seems you are back on track with that.  We also started feeding you a little bit of rice at night to get you ready for other fun foods coming soon.  There are nights you are into it and there are nights where you are pretty stubborn :)  I started to make and freeze different fruits and veggies for you to start trying soon.  I'm sure they will taste much better than rice.  

Another major milestone that you hit a little over a week ago was learning to sit up on your own!  You are really good at it and can sit for long stretches without falling over.  I think you like it b/c you can grab all of your toys, stick them in your mouth and see what's going on all at the same time.  You barely like to lay on your back anymore.  There hasn't been any crawling action yet, but you are certainly wanting to get up and go.  It will come soon enough and then we will be running all over the place trying to keep up with you.  

Happy half-year birthday, little guy!

go green.

Eventually this blog will have other content besides pictures of Henry b/c we just bought a house!  We have big plans for the new place and I can't wait to post some before and after pictures on the blog.  The renovations begin in about a week, so for now, it's just Henry, Henry, Henry :)  

Today is his half-year birthday.... pics from today's 6 month photo shoot coming soon!

let the solids begin.

A couple weeks ago we started feeding Henry a little bit of rice.  At first, he wasn't sure of what we were trying to do to him and really just enjoyed chewing on the spoon.  By the third night, he was into it.  I started the process of making his baby food and freezing it, so we will be introducing that very soon.  The lighting in my kitchen is horrific, so I apologize for the poor pics.

a random tuesday afternoon.

Today was my Tuesday off with the little man.  We spent the day running errands, going on a walk and taking a few pics.  I can never get enough photos of this kid.  He was showing off his rolling over skills and also how many of his fingers he can stick in his little mouth.  His first little tooth has popped through and I tried to snap a pic, but he wasn't having it.  Maybe once it is fully in he will let me get a nice shot :)  

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Henry Len- 5 months












5 months: 

You have officially started rolling over from your back to belly.  Of course, you learned this new trick while in your crib at night.  For the first few nights, mommy would have to come in every couple of hours to roll you back over b/c you would get upset.  Now, you actually fall asleep on your belly and stay that way for quite a while.  Speaking of bed time, we have you on a pretty good schedule!  It's bath, bottle and bedtime at 8 pm!  It has actually given mommy and daddy time to eat dinner and watch TV together again, instead of in shifts :).  You are still slobbering like a crazy man and we have to change your clothing quite often.  Laughing is our favorite thing that you do.  You have the sweetest little giggle.  You love to smile and think we are pretty darn funny (or maybe just funny looking...).  Shrieking and squealing are also in your vocabulary, along with different oohs and aaahhs.  We don't really know what you are trying to say, but you sure are saying something!  

Judging by the way this photo shoot went, I will probably have to staple the tie to your shirt :).  

Happy 5 months!
