Spoon

Henry has always had an interest in holding a spoon while he eats but this week he actually started using it to feed himself. One night he wouldn't let me feed him so I handed him the spoon and he started doing it himself. This video is a couple of nights later. He's really getting the hang of it and we are getting used to the mess...

Henry Giggles

There are few things I love more than hearing my little boy laugh. We will do pretty much anything to make him laugh. Usually when we pull out the camera to catch it he stops, but we caught a little this time. And this is in response to me simply raising my arms and dropping them and making a funny noise - love our silly little boy...

1st Birthday Party

Trying to get caught up. Pics from little man's beach bash birthday party in Sacramento. It was great to have so many friends and family join us to celebrate Henry turning one! Lots of pool pics because that's where Henry wanted to spend most of his time at the party. He loves being in the water!

One Day to One Year

Realized I didn't post this on the blog on his birthday...

Our sweet, silly little boy from one day old to one year old!

More Walking

More walking cause it's just so darn cute.

Sorry this one is a little shaky. And when it looks like he falls at the end he was fine, just switched to crawling.

Walking

Quick video of Henry doing some walking. Starting to really get the hang of it.

Henry is One!

Henry is one!!! Hard to believe. I know every parent says this but man this year really went fast. Seems just like yesterday our little man entered our lives. It's been a truly amazing year. 

Henry at one:

Words to sum him up: sweet, silly, curious, active

he took his first steps right before his birthday and is doing more walking each day

favorite foods right now: banana, yogurt, oatmeal, zucchini, pita and hummus

loves making noise

words: dada, mama, doggies (dig-ee), ball, hi

He loves his doggies and loves being outside

Total water baby

Pictures from his actual birthday. Birthday party pics to come.

 Birthday morning, came out to a pile of presents and...

 all he cared about was the shiny bow. Of course.
