99 Weeks Old!

Here Henry is trying to get Wilbur to watch the Olympics... obviously Wilbur is not interested.

Olympic fever continues at our house. Henry loves to "ski jump" by putting his arms back (like a ski jumper) and launching himself off the ottoman. Hopefully one of us is there to catch him! He can say "ski jump" which is very cute. He also likes to watch the bobsledding which elicits lots of "whoa!"s from him. He is continuing to exercise his independence by telling us "No!" quite frequently and freaking out if we try to help him to do something he feels like he should be able to do himself. Unfortunately what he thinks he can do himself and what he actually can do himself don't often align. This includes wanting to be able to "hold" (or as it sounds like when he says it, "old") full cups of beverages. He loves to sign "stop" and yell "stop" at the same time to Wilbur whenever Wilbur barks or does something Henry doesn't want him to do. Wilbur is generally a good sport about this, although I can't say he obeys Henry.
