Figuring it all out

Henry is making big moves now. He can go from crawling to sitting and back to crawling. He can pull up and ease his way back down (not always a smooth one). And as you can see he's figured out opening the cabinets. Luckily its just a "whap-whap-whap" of the door, but soon enough he'll figure out how to move out of the way and actually OPEN the door. We gotta get busy here with babyproofing! We DID get a gate (thanks Aunt Ann and Uncle Johnny for the gift card!) but we haven't made it to the cabinets and drawers.

Cruisin'


It wasn't until Henry started teething that he decided he likes pacifiers. Well, I think he always liked them but now he'll actually hold on to them. So if he's not suckin' on his 2 middle fingers, he's got his pacifier.

Which is a really good thing, I think, until you lose them. So the last week we've been on the hunt and can't seem to find them. We tried a new brand, but he likes the first ones much better. I eventually was reduced to buying a few on Amazon after checking the manufacturing website and finding even they were out of stock. The description said they were red and blue, yet the picture shows pink and purple. This could be interesting.

Here's another shot of his new bottom teeth.
The top ones are impossible to catch on film without his help, but they are not far behind looking the same as his bottom ones.

BIG smile


This kid has got an incredible smile. It'll melt away the worst that any day can dish at you. With the rate his teeth are coming in... enjoy this shot of his BIG toothless smile while it lasts.

New things

Henry is doing so great. He's such a happy and healthy little guy. His first tooth has made its way and is pretty visible and just this morning the one next door FINALLY broke through. He has been working on that one for over a week now! In the midst of all this it looks like he is also cutting 2 on the top. YIKES! Interestingly, its the front and front/left that are coming in versus the 2 front ones. Poor little thing has been just miserable at times. We've had a few rough nights, but otherwise he stays happy.

Lately we have been noticing him do the funniest thing. He crinkles his nose up and then stretches it out. Hard to tell if he's got a tickle or just experimenting or what... but it is HILARIOUS. We find ourselves cracking up everytime. Tonight, we tried to capture the whole thing on video, but it was needing battery charging, so we caught a few with pictures. Let the giggles begin.

Check out my new toof!


Henry is 7 months old today!
This baby is all over the place!
Everyday he's getting more and more adventurous and better and better at traversing his surroundings. He's crawling like crazy, a real pro. He's pulling up and "cruising" from surface to surface of what he can reach. He's still working out the kinks, so we've officially entered the dreaded bumps and bruises "fun".

Pictures of his new tooth are hard to capture... mainly cuz its still so small. A sliver of white has just emerged through his drooly gums. The second one is working hard to breakthrough too, but still hasn't as of today.
