Henry on Halloween

Piano!

My parents were wonderful enough to drive here from Utah with a gigantic trailer to bring us the piano we inherited from my grandma. This video was taken back on June 4th of Henry on Grandma Johnson's lap--his first time playing our "new" piano!

Oh, the Things He Can Do. . .

Here are links to two videos I took of Henry this afternoon. They're basically the same thing, but I couldn't decide between them, so I put both of them up. I would've just gone with the first one (which is actually the second one I took), but the light in the second one is better and you can see how wonderfully blue his eyes are. (Have I mentioned I'm in love with his eyes? They're almost as amazing as his dad's.)

Click here for the first one and here for the second one.

In other news, I'm trying to write seminar papers and Cory is trying to survive weeks of state-mandated testing. I'm also trying to work on a baby book for Henry, cook dinner every night, write a novel, and keep myself sane. Of course Henry helps with all of the above. His big project for the moment is getting tooth #3--his first one on top!--the rest of the way out. In the meantime, he is the undisputed King of Droolers.

We're so proud. :)

Henry's Favorite Book

Find him reading it with Daddy here on youtube because blogger couldn't upload it, for whatever reason.

It's called Touch and Feel Baby Animals. We read it every night. Like three times. Enjoy!

Mobility

You've seen him zip around in his walker, but did you know he's now a full-on crawler?

Here's what he was doing up until a few weeks ago:

And here's what he's doing now!

We're so proud. (I can't believe he's growing up so fast!)

Speaking of Food

I give you: Henry eating a Cheerio.
