6 months and growing!

Wow Henry is officially 6 months old! We had our 6 month well check and Henry is weighing in at 20.8lbs and he is 28 1/4 inches long. That puts him into the 97th percentile. He now has his 2 bottom teeth and the Dr. said it looked like the top 2 were on their way...that might explain the fussy baby we have been seeing around our house!

He is working so hard to try and crawl and he rolls all over the house. Occasionally he will stop and wiggle like a fish to get his body to move. This has become quite the thing to watch and he has even started practicing crawling during nap time! The other day I heard commotion on the monitor and found him practicing in the crib. I took a little video because it was just so funny catching him like that.

Henry has continued to enjoy solid foods and we have gotten into all kinds of combo's. His favorite right now is the peach, banana, oatmeal...he gladly woofs down the whole 4oz. jar without a blink! He also loves frozen bananas and peaches and has been using this cool little safety feeder so he can feed himself! It has been a great time filler and has also given him some relief from teething! Up next are finger foods and some yogurt! This picture is of him chewing up a storm in his highchair. He doesn't usually wear sunglasses but we had just bought them that morning for our upcoming trip to Mexico and I couldn't resist trying them out!

The month has been a good one. We took a trip to the Children's Museum with Emily and Halle and had a fun time. Bill and I also took him to the zoo. He loved looking at all the people but showed no real interest in the animals, which is so funny because he is absolutely obsessed with Wilson, Olive and Kitty. Henry has found his voice and fills our house with screams and giggles. He also has begun playing peek a boo which has been fun for everyone. A quick game of peek a boo has saved many a trip to the grocery store when outbursts begin! He also loves to listen to his Dad play guitar and even takes a try sometimes. Every night before bed he and Bill have a jam session. I took a video the other night because Henry added some occasional vocals to the session!!

He is just so much fun now and Bill is trying to find a way to keep him this age forever. We have a big month ahead with a cruise to Mexico at the end of the month for Auntie Tink and Uncle David's wedding. I will keep you posted on all the excitement! I also put up a couple new pictures on our picture site if you want to check it out.
