82 Weeks Old Pictures and Video

Here are a couple pictures of Henry dressed up as a turtle for our music class today. Anna dressed up as a ladybug and they made quite the pair! Henry loved to look at himself in the mirror and I kept calling him "turtle" which he seemed to really like. After music class we stopped by Grandpa Rex's office and Henry got to show off for them. He has a skeleton outfit to wear also - he wore the shirt yesterday and would randomly stop and point to the bones periodically. The video is kind of boring; just Henry walking around but it shows off the costume better.

82 Weeks Old

Stay tuned...I'll post tomorrow with some pics of Henry in his Halloween costume. We had a busy day today (baby sign language playgroup, friend over for dinner) so I haven't had time to take any pictures today.

Happy Halloween!!

I couldn't figure out how to post the video itself, but here's the link! It's me, Brett, Wilbur and two Henrys (a baby Henry and a toddler Henry) singing "The Monster Mash."

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Video speaks (or laughs) for itself. Enjoy!

Blazer Basketball Season!

I had a special request to publish this photo on the blog....here's Henry all ready for Blazer season...wearing a cute outfit he got as a hand-me-down and in front of the basketball hoop he got from Grandpa Rex.

81 Weeks Old!

The speaking portion of his development is in full effect. Today he mastered "bubbles." He even managed to say "please" to the librarian today at storytime so he could get a stamp on his hand. The list of the words that he can either sign or say is growing daily. It's funny how the signing and the speaking are developing together. We've been working on saying and signing "help." The problem is he can't say it very well - it sounds a lot like "up." But he will sign it and say it at the same time and then I know for sure he's trying to say "help" and not "up." Definitely cuts down on the frustration of him not being able to communicate what he wants or needs.

His new favorite food since getting his teeth fixed is ice cream. :)

The top picture I took a couple days ago to show off how much hair he has now...and the color...we've got a ginger for sure! The second picture was taken Sunday at Gigi's house. And the last picture I took today while he was eating a snack and smearing peanut butter all over his face and hair.

Autumn 2009

We had a little photo shoot of Henry on Sunday, courtesy of Uncle Geoff as photog and Gigi as set director/scene co-ordinator. Geoff took over 160 pictures...here are just a couple.
