Off the couch!

Henry has figured out how to get off the couch and bed without falling off onto his head! He goes feet first with some verbal guidance from us. Lately he has been taking things and putting them inside buckets or holes (like if Brad or I are on the floor propped up on our elbow he takes toys and stashes them in the "hole" and then takes them back out). Its so fun to watch him learn and figure things out!

Chandra, Arden, Henry and I have been hanging out more. Arden is getting so big (she is 7 months old) and they follow each other around! Its so cute. Brad says Henry has a girlfriend! We have been taking walks and going to parks so the kids can swing on the swings. It gets us out of the house and gives us Moms conversation. Its so nice to have friends with kids now that we have a kids. Luckily the other friends we have are pregnant and will have kids shortly so Henry will have more than enough kids to hang out with.

Henry's birthday is coming up quickly! We are having a party for him on the 11th. We are trying to figure out what type of theme it should be. Thomas the train, Seseame Street (Cookie Monster is Henry's favorite), or John Deere, or something just boy's 1st b-day. Brad and I are going to a party store this weekend to check out the decorations. I am excited. We don't want to go too crazy but a little crazy since he will only turn 1 once.

No More Bottles!

Well we did it! Henry is officially off the bottles. He still has formula for another month but not in the bottles. We are so happy not to clean bottles anymore! Until the next kid that is :) Henry doesn't seem to mind not having the bottle as long as he still gets his milk in the morning. He has been eating breakfast with Daddy in the mornings, Cheerios and Bananas usually. He cruises around the on the furniture and loves to let us know when he wants to be picked up. He puts his arms up and his head back and whines. Henry is also testing us when it comes to getting into things. He likes to go to something he isn't supposed to play with-cords-and then looks back to see if we are going to say anything, and then does it anyway.
