Henry the Six Month Old!

While we were in Texas, Henry turned six months old. For weeks, Sophia has been planning his half birthday party. She decided since he loves milk best of all, we should have a milk-party, complete with milkshakes for everyone (except the guest of honor of course!)

We sang Happy Half Birthday and celebrated with our Texas friends on Saturday.

Henry, Henry, he's our little baby bumpkin. Except it seems like he's not so little anymore. In fact, the other morning I took a shower, and when I came out of the bathroom, he was surfing the internet!

He's sitting up very well

At the doctor today, he was in the 50th percentiles all around. He still loves chomping on whatever we're eating

but we've also started giving him some organic brown rice cereal sometimes to top him off when he seems extra hungry, and he DIVES for the spoon

He's such a boy already! He is fascinated with mechanical things and I just find him really exploring things in a different way than the girls ever did

He's still not a great sleeper, but he's completely adorable, so I just can't hold it against him. Here he was late at night at the hotel Sunday night

It's hard to believe half a year has already gone by! But Henry has just fit into our family so perfectly, it's also kind of like he's been here forever.Tonight I'm going to a birth class at our midwife's place to tell his birth story, so I'm re-reading it to refresh my memory. It's funny, when she called me Monday to ask me to come speak, I guess I sounded so surprised to hear from her, after I said "oh hi!" she said "don't worry, you're not pregnant!" Ha ha ha, she knew what I was thinking!

A year ago today, Henry looked like this - he was waving that little arm!!
