Well Henry took his first steps shortly before he turned one and now he is on the go constantly. He has learned how to stand up without pulling himself up on something and does such a good job. He falls a lot still but is improving daily. Henry is so much fun to watch grow and learn. He still does something new almost every day. Like just today, he moved this box toy thing out of his way so he could roam the house. We try to contain him to one room with the coffee table pushed up against the wall and his toy gym thing to cover the last little bit of opening (the space is too big for a non-wall mounted kiddie gate). This morning he really wanted to get out and follow me to the kitchen and he just pushed or picked it up or something so that it moved out of his way and then he crawled into the kitchen after me. (Usually we are in the same room together and we are playing or hanging out or whatever) Crazy kid! Nothing stops him!
He likes to be outside and now we have to put the hard plastic cover on the dog door so Henry won't go outside without us. Yesterday, he went through the door 4 times (3 outside and 1 inside) He is definitely explorative. He likes to figure things out by himself and loves to read!! or at least be read to.
The weather is still warm. I keep waiting for the weather to cool and Brad makes fun of me, saying that this is how it is. I don't really want to turn on the heat but I don't want to need the A/C either. Its the middle of October almost, but doesn't feel like it at all. The leaves haven't changed, the weather hasn't changed...Am I ever going to get used to California? I am a four season kind of person!!! Poor Henry will have a shock when we leave California, but hopefully he will welcome cool days and snow (hopefully we go somewhere that has that). No idea when we will leave San Jose (maybe another 2 years) but still enjoying the good weather while we can.
