Henry is 11 Months!

So, Henry was VERY uncooperative while taking these pictures.  He didn't want to sit still and was all over the place.  I apologize in advance for the blurriness...  :)





Now we are starting to get antsy...



 And even upset...until I tempted him with the camera case.  Do you know how INTERESTING a camera case is?  :)

 That's better...(and yes, he did walk towards me to get it...)








Things Henry is doing at 11 Months:
  • Henry is walking...and getting more confident by the day.  It started with him walking a few steps a couple of weeks ago and now we're seeing him walking from different places around the room on his own.  Last night he went from one room to another.  Oh boy...we are in for it!  I'll post some video soon!  We got a walker for him and I think that gave him the confidence he needed.
  • We are seeing him attempt words, although still don't know if they are purposeful or not.  "Doggy" is probably the most clear, and we think he might be saying "Daddy" as well.  He'll say "mama" but still don't know that it's ME his referring to.  :)
  • Henry's sleeping most nights from 7:30pm- around 5:00am.  He'll nurse and go back to sleep until around 7.  It's been wonderful!  :)
  • He's eating more and more and prefers to feed himself.  He LOVES beans, peas, corn, sweet potatoes, sqush, applesauce, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, bananas, pears, rice cakes, bread, along with others.  He usually makes quite a mess at mealtimes, but is eating more and more. 
  • His favorite toys are some plastic golf clubs, given to him by grandpa and grandma Von Tobel....much to his father's delight.  He is learning to hit the ball on the proper end and will carry them around with him around the house.
  • We've been taking walks outside with his walker most days.  He's a very curious observer and the "walks" are usually pretty slow.  He wants to stop and look at every leaf, berry, noise, dirt,  mulch, etc. 
  • He loves his daddy and like I said on the previous post, he has a lot of separation anxiety when Peter leaves for work in the morning.  They are best buddies and will play all evening until Henry goes to bed.
