Henry's 1st Day of School

Henry started his first day of "school" this week (aka Mother's Day Out). He goes once a week to play, listen to nursery rhymes, watch finger puppet shows, etc. His teacher said he did really well and ate VERY well! He ate all his lunch I sent (ham, cheese and strawberries) and his two bottles! Here he is on the way to school looking thoughtful...

Of course, he had to have a school lunch box and bag!

Smiling for Mom! I shed a little tear after I dropped him off, but I did enjoy having 4 hours to myself to exercise, go to the store, and run other errands. I think we will both enjoy the "school" year!

Henry at 9 months

Mr. Henry turned 9 months old on August 6. We cannot believe how much he has grown and all he can do! Henry has developed quite a personality during these 9 months... he can be quite demanding, but he also has a sweet spirit and gets his feelings hurt quite easily.

His FAVORITE food right now is watermelon. I can put him in his highchair with a mound of watermelon and he will eat every last morsel.

And cheese - he loves cheese. Actually, come to think of it, there isn't a whole lot he doesn't like!

Bath time after eating - always one of his favorites.

Wild hair!

And splashing - I am totally soaked when bath time is over.

Look at all those teeth - 1 coming in on top and 4 on the bottom.


Little big man! I love his boxers - thanks, Miss Betty!

Out to dinner - he loved the grits from Rhineharts, one of our favorite hole-in-the-walls.


And, fun time with Grandmama

I LOVE fried chicken!

Yep, that is right - I loved my first tasting of fried chicken! Whenever I see mommy and daddy eating, I pull up on their chair and beg like a dog.



Yum!

Look at me stand!

In my 8th month of life, I learned to stand! And, I am quite proud of myself and practice pulling up whenever I am able to!
