61 Weeks Old

I'm a day late this week...for the last couple weeks I've felt like I have barely had a minute or two of free time. I think the nice weather is partially to blame - we're getting out and doing a lot more - and I think Henry's increased mobility and ability to get into things is also partially to blame. No longer is he content to stay in the living room and play, he wants to explore the whole house...and cupboards, and stairs, and bookshelves, etc.

We went to the zoo last Sunday as you can see in the bottom two pictures. It's kind of hard to tell here, but in the picture of him by the penguins he is laughing hysterically. I don't know why, but he thought it was the funniest thing in the world to sit there. The first picture is of him at his gym class yesterday. We had an outdoor play day since the weather was so nice. He's wearing his "Little MVP" Trailblazers hat. Everyone was laughing at him because he looked like a little old man in his jeans, polo shirt, and baseball cap that was just a little too big. He has this new habit of sticking his lower jaw out farther than his upper jaw (like a bulldog's underbite)...he's doing it in the top picture. It drives me crazy!! But it's no where near as disturbing as a nasty little behavior he's been doing for the last two days...making himself gag by sticking his fingers down his throat. He's made himself throw up twice. Once yesterday just a little and then this morning his whole breakfast. This is one of those things I am just going to have to ignore because the more I try and stop him the more he jams his fingers down his throat, and with more gusto each time. So frustrating!!

Moving next week! Yay! Just in time for summer - big backyard and deck to play in. We cannot wait!
