Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Dan and Henry surprised me with portraits of my favorite boy! I now have H hanging up proudly in the dining area, my bedroom, and sitting on my nightstand. I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful hubby!

5 Months Old

Henry is 5 months old today!!! These past 5 months have gone by so fast, it makes my head spin! I decided to start blogging because I wanted to find a way to capture moments of H's young life to share with family and friends. He's changing before my eyes...It really is remarkable. At 5 months:

• Henry is babbling in his own language. His favorite noise involved shrieking. 
• He grabs his feet and puts them in his mouth.
• He gets around pretty well in his walker. His favorite thing to do is go over to the oven and stare at his reflection. What a ham!
•  He likes to put everything into his mouth: pacifiers, toys, boobs...
•  He rolls easily from his tummy onto his back, but not so much the other way. 
• He tracks everything, the cat, mommy, daddy, lights, etc. 
• He's been sleeping in his own crib for the past month! Our queen size bed is pretty snug with the 3 of us, so this has been really nice. I still cheat sometimes and let him go back to sleep in our bed after his 2am feeding. 
• Henry's two bottom teeth are completely in. I look forward to starting him on solids in a month. Nursing is still going well, just ready to mix it up a bit. :)
• His favorite toys are his Einstein light-up music toy and his teething ring.
