Parent & Me Class

Almost every Thursday evening since Henry was five months old we have been attending a "Parent & Me" class. (I call it that because it was a working moms group that a lot of dads ended up attending, including Brendan). It was really nice to be with other working moms and talk about what was going on with our babies, ask questions, etc. It was also great socializing for Henry. It was a relatively small group and the kids are all within a few months of each other, so we have all really seen each others kids grow and change. In fact, Henry took his first real steps at class one night in front of everyone. Definitely something we are happy we did down here in LA as it's been a good way to make friends. These pictures are from the last class. We will be starting up a new class in September with most of the same kids.


Some of the babies. One of the dads bought his guitar and started singing. About the only way we could get them to sit still.

Henry's favorite toy in the class room. Loved going up and down the stairs.

Our attempt to get a group shot. Much easier when the babies were younger.

One of the dads put together a little video of the kids when they were listening to the music:

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!
