Henry at 6 months
My little baby is 6 months old. How did that happen? It seems like Vivienne’s first year lasted forever. I couldn’t wait for her to crawl and walk, say something recognizable, get teeth and hold her own bottle. With this one, he is taking his own sweet time with many milestones and I am thankful. It is making the time slow a bit from the breakneck speed at which it seems to pass now.
Henry is still the cutest baby on the planet. Promise. He has almost mastered sitting up. He likes to grab for anything and everything in his reach. When he finally gets something in his grasp, you can see his little brain working to figure out what to do with it. Typically, it goes right into his mouth. Other times, he holds it at arm’s length and ‘talks’ to it, which sounds more like a serious of grunts.
He is working on the ‘TH’ sound. Mostly to see how much drool he can force onto his chin and shirt and anything else in the immediate vicinity. I suspect he is adding another tooth to his current 3 tooth arsenal. He better be, at least. There has to be something to account for the superwhiny attitude we have been getting the last few days.
His little face just gets 1000 times brighter when his sister enters his field of vision. When she shows him some attention, he smiles and coos and starts to kick his legs. I know when she is in the room with him because he gets quiet and is content just watching her do things.
We haven’t quite found a food rountine yet. I suppose that should happen soon. He likes applesauce, pears and peas. He isn’t so fond of peaches, carrots and yogurt. Knowing how cute he is, I entered him into the HappyBaby Food photo contest. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
