Halloween as a Monkey

Pumkin Patch!

Henry started walking!

Henry took his first steps on the evening of Friday, October 9 (11 months, 3 days old). Hank and I went out for an early birthday dinner, and when we got home, Henry decided we wanted to walk back and forth to each of us. At first, after a little encouragement and would start out, but was scared to let go of our fingers... Grandmother Vicki was there to see it all, which thrilled her to no end! A week and a half later, he is taking off on his own! He still isn't real steady on his feet, but that isn't stopping him! I will post pictures very soon. We are so proud of our growing little boy!

One last summer fling...

We took our family (me, Hank and Henry) vacation Labor Day week in Destin, FL. We had so much fun! Bryce and Lara met us - I think they had a good dose of birth control with staying with Mr. Henry for a week... Truthfully, they were such a great help that week and they loved spending time with Henry.




Henry was not too fond of the sand this trip... He also is going through a clingy stage and wanted to be held the whole time. He did like this chair, though.

Henry said his first words on the way to the beach - dada, of course! Actually, he says dadadadada and is VERY proud of himself! We heard this all week, but it is such a sweet sound!
