Here are a few updates, including our 10 and 11 month photos. I told Paul when I was pregnant that this child was not going to sit still when he arrived - so far, I'm so right.
Beating the table.
Looking at the light - he is obsessed with lights and light switches. He looks for lights wherever he goes, and says "aight" a LOT. We haven't mastered the "L" sound yet.
Caught him still. For a second.
No blog is complete without some bath pictures. Why are babies the sweetest when they're in the bathtub? Just want to squeeze him.
And here are a few pictures from our 11 month "birthday" earlier this week. These were impossible to take. I'm fairly certain standing on a swivel/rocking chair is an accident waiting to happen. Hence the hand (poised to catch him) at the bottom of the picture.
Climbing to try and dive off the chair over the arm. Please note we tried to give him his "teacher," (the zebra from the Llama Llama books - Henry is OBSESSED with teacher) but he refused to sit still.
Next, we tried a toy. Only successful picture from the group. Note the 11 month sticker is covered. Ugh.
Dad attempting to make him sit still and re-affix his sticker. Henry is NOT HAPPY to be contained.
If he could speak, I'm pretty certain he would be screaming at us to "Get off me and leave me alone!"
So we backed off and snapped one before he ripped the sticker off. Can't wait to see what his 12 month photos look like!
My favorite things about Henry these past two months are how much he's trying to talk. He can sometimes make his version of animal noises when we ask what certain animals say - the only one that's pretty accurate is his hissing (like a snake). We also found out last week (by accident) that he could climb the stairs. My parents were over for dinner, we were talking in the front hall, and within 2 seconds, he was up 3 stairs. Agh! We now let him climb up (while we're right behind him). He also likes to walk down them - we can't get him to safely scoot or back down them - it's either a head first attempt or us walking him down the stairs. And he laughs hysterically the whole way....
Silly boy! He's such a sweet kid. He's learned what no means, and does a pretty good job listening when I tell him not to touch something. He is obsessed with outlets, is immediately drawn to them, but will stop and hesitate before he touches them. As soon as I tell him not to touch it, he looks at me and finds something else to play with. Paul and I have been so blessed to have such a good-natured, sweet baby that we're convinced our next one will get us back. We'll see..... :)
