Henry is getting ready to crawl. He does this rocking thing where he gets up on his knees and rocks back and forth. He can scoot forward using his upper arms. I have to be conscious of hazards in the house because he will reach for things.
He has been teething like crazy. His top front teeth are breaking though, and these ones seem to be bothering him more than the others. Yesterday was hard; Henry was fussy all day and didn't nap. I tried everything: ibuprofen, a wet rag, his teething ring, gum massage, you get the idea! It was exhausting. Teething is no joke. Henry and Mommy were both so tired that we slept through the night!
Separation anxiety is in full swing. This morning, I was cleaning the bathrooms. Usually, I can put H in his walker, and he is fine while I do chores. Today, I had to break up the cleaning because every time I would leave the room, H started crying. It got so bad that, when I cleaned the master bath, I put him right in the door frame so that he could see me the whole time.
H is quite the eater. He still nurses every few hours, and I have been incorporating solids a couple of times a day. His favorite veggies are sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots. He loves all fruits, especially pears and mangos.
The weather in Salt Lake has been frigid and smoggy with the inversion, so we have been spending a lot of time indoors. H likes to hang out on his play mat or in his walker.
