Henry YOU are pure JOY.
You are still BIG.
You are 7 months Old.
Here is what you have been up to!
He has been clapping for at least a month.
He talks a lot and makes tons of different sounds. Bababa is his main "babbling" sound.
Yesterday in the car he sounded like he was prepping for a sing competition.
He sleeps all night.
He eats solids great.
He is figuring out puffs.
He gets on all 4's and rocks. It is so cute.
He smiles and laughs with a simple glance in his direction.
He is very ticklish.
He is the happiest baby anyone who meets him has ever seen.
He loves his dad and thinks he is hilarious.
He has a fake laugh.
He sits very good but when he gets excited he will tip over. I think it's because he is very very long.
He doesn't like his changing table as much anymore.
He hates putting on clothes.
He doesn't mind having his nose sucked or his ears cleaned. He gets really still.
He constantly moves his wrists and legs. It looks like he is conducting a symphony.
He sleeps in the car almost immediately when he gets in it and I start driving.
HE LOVES PEOPLE AND GOING OUT IN PUBLIC! We take him EVERYWHERE no matter what time.
He doesn't have a strict schedule. It doesn't matter if it is nap time or not, I will take him places. I think it helps him adapt. If he gets tired, he will get fussy and then fall asleep.
He smiles at everyone that smiles at him.
He smiles when you say his name.
I put him in the bathroom with me while I shower and he loves when I "Peek-a-boo" behind the curtain.
He loves his pacifier.
Everything goes in his mouth.
He likes to sit in his high chair.
He doesn't really care for his johnny jump up.
We go and hang out with the Pulley Triplets once a week. Photos below.
He will sometimes pull up on things if he is sitting in my lap
He loves bubbles.
I don't let him play in his food.
He doesn't hold his bottle.
We've gone out of town a lot in the last month and my parents and Lane's parents kept him for the weekend. I missed him a lot but it wasn't hard for me to leave like it is for some. We both needed and loved the break from each other!
He gets excited when he sees the front door! Because he likes to play with the blinds.
We have taught him how to drink through a straw. It is ADORABLE!
He is starting to get stiff and fussy when he doesn't want to be in his car seat.
He has 4 teeth. The 2 bottom ones came at 5.5 months and the 2 top a few weeks later.
I think he is more social than physical which shocks me given his parents. He has been "talking" since he was like 2.5/3 months. But his physical skills are not super duper like I thought he would be. Maybe it is his size? He is the average length of a one year old and has been. So maybe that is it? I am not concerned.
The other day he saw me in the mirror and quickly looked over to see if it was me and I think was realizing me in the mirror and me in person.
He puts himself to sleep for a nap and when we put him down for the night. He requires no rocking or anything he just talks a little and then turns over and falls asleep. I think that is it for now.
I don't blog a bunch anymore because I have a baby book I write everything in.
Last night he was eating beef and gravy and loved Lane saying "beef and gravy" - Here it is on YouTube. http://youtu.be/YXS7I2LrzTM

Fake Laugh: http://youtu.be/VM0fCbEe-MU
Henry is a complete and utter joy. He is full of joy. He smiles all day and night. When I put him down, he claps, smiles and then goes to sleep.
A quote that I recently heard that reminds me of Henry and always will is this. It is my new favorite quote:
"Joy is the infallible sign of the Presence of God." I love you Henry. You're one of a kind kiddo!
Photo Bomb!
