Henry is a big kid! He weighs 20 pounds 5 ounces and is 27 inches long. (Olivia at 6 months was 20 pounds 7 ounces and 27.5 inches long. -- He's no longer growing as fast as she was!)
Our sweet little buddy has started to become quite the little pill with a feisty personality. If he's tired and things aren't going his way, he'll just violently throw himself forward and head-butt anything in front of him. He doesn't even care if it's a granite countertop!
We can't believe that Olivia was this big when Henry was born. Time sure flies when you have two beautiful children to run after!
Henry has been melting hearts near and far. He will happily sit on anyone's lap and soak in the goings-on. Since he has gotten really good at sitting in the last month or so, he has fallen in love with taking walks. He enjoys hanging out outdoors, and especially grabbing fistfuls of grass and trying to shove them in his mouth.
He thought he had it made when he grabbed this banana. Little did he realize that it had to be peeled, sliced, and mashed before he could actually eat it! When are those teeth showing up?!
Now that he's scooting around and becoming mobile-ish, he is helping Olivia with some of her devious schemes. They found some of Cassandra's fabric and unravelled this jelly roll. He doesn't look the least bit guilty!
He loves hiking with Mom, but he's getting quite big for the front carrier. His legs are interfering with walking, but his babbling and laughing is definitely good for hiking morale!
When Bob was gone on a particularly long trip, Olivia grabbed this farmer guy and started calling it "Dada." Henry liked it and proceeded to chew on "Dada's" head for the next hour.
We sure love our chubby smiley happy little boy. What a great six months it has been! It's hard to remember a life before we had his sweet spirit in our lives.
