51 Weeks Old!




One week away from his birthday! Here he is standing up against the couch in his slightly too-large-for-him pjs...



Henry continues to amaze me with his love of new foods. Not only does he love kalamata olives, sour cherries, pickles, (mild) Chinese foods, and (mild) Thai curries, today I discovered he also likes balsamic vinegar. I gave him a mushroom and pasta salad from the deli at Whole Foods to try at lunch and he couldn't get it into his mouth fast enough. The ingredients? Pasta, portobello, shiitake, crimini, white and button mushrooms, red pepper flakes, red onion, rosemary, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. That is crazy to me! I'd started to add spices to the food I make him a couple months ago, but now I am convinced I have been under-seasoning his food. He obviously enjoys stronger flavors.



Right now he is loving pretending to feed us and then giggling and giggling. He also likes to play catch and actually manages to throw a ball pretty well considering his age! It still takes both of us by surprise sometimes when we look over and see him standing up against the couch or coffee table. We just still don't expect to see that yet!
