September 1st marks Henry's 7 month birthday! These days it seems like he is learning something new everyday. Here are some of the big events for this month:
- Henry got his first tooth on August 9th, (bottom middle) and exactly a week later the one right next to it popped out! I'm pretty sure he'll have one up top any day now.
- Loves to play in his exersaucer, even though he still doesn't really work on using his legs yet and prefers just to let them dangle. But he does love to play with each individual toy and lately favors the two tall ones, and pulls them towards him so he can chew on the tops.
- We've gone swimming a few times now and he's finally starting to like it more and enjoys splashing and kicking. It's too bad that he gets cold so fast, he never lasts more than about 10 min. Which is why we've also moved to the big tub for baths, that way he can kick and kick in the nice warm bathroom - and boy does he get water everywhere!
- We recently discovered that he is ticklish and he seems to love it when we try to tickle his sides - he giggles, even if we don't actually touch him!
- When Hahn started school, Henry started daycare. It was really hard to drop him off that first day, but he's always happy when I go to pick him up. So far I am very pleased with Taryn, she's a sweetheart and she seems to love Henry (and so do her kids!)
- Lately he seems to really like to be around people, I think he likes all of the attention that he gets from the other kids at daycare and expects the same from us. Which, honestly after a day at work, we are often happy to oblige!
- Being at the sitters and with Hahn working at a school, it's not surprising that Henry caught his first cold. He had a sniffly nose for a few days and still a bit of a lingering cough.
- Henry is pretty much sitting up on his own now and we've been trying to take advantage of it, by giving him toys that are better from his new vantage point. Just today he had a fine time playing with his mini piano.
Henry and his piano!
