To Catch a Roll Over...

So Henry has reached a big milestone - rolling over from back to front. Problem was - Mommy missed it the first three times he did it. (Daddy is away on business and was very sad when he found out). Lay him on his activity mat, look away for two seconds and turn to find him flipped over. Of course when I pulled out the video camera and tried to catch him doing it again he didn't do it. Until now! Here is the proof and thus begins a whole new stage of mobility (scary!).

PS - Sorry for the bad camera work :)

Tickle Tickle Tickle

One more video for your viewing pleasure...

Henry is starting to become ticklish although he doesn't quite respond with a giggle yet.

Noisy Kid

Henry is full of lots of noises these days. Here is a little preview...

Made with Love

Henry received a special gift recently from some of Brendan's family back East. Brendan's cousin, Cameron, has a very talented and crafty wife, Danielle (and they have the most adorable little boy, Cass, who we can't wait for Henry to meet).

We received this beautiful quilt in the mail and I suspected Danielle made it, which she did. It is so cute and even has his name on it. And believe it or not, this was her first one! Henry is lucky to have something so sweet that he can cherish for a long time.

Here are some pics of him with the quilt being his cute little self.

When Alex attacked Henry

So Henry got to visit his long-distance girlfriend Alex over the weekend...and they've now become closer than ever!

Alex spent some time exploring Henry's face, and he tried to eat her hand. Love at first sight.

Here's Alex's dad's take on the photoshoot: http://alexandrabrokaw.blogspot.com/2011/08/alex-monster-attacks-little-henry.html

Babytalk

Henry has gotten rather chatty lately. It's a lot of fun. Here is a little sample of the cuteness.
