Big news in our house, Henry figured out his walker! Last night was the first time we've seen him take off on his own, and we caught it on video.
It was one of those experiences where I kept holding him up while he went forward, and then he just darted away from me one time and off he went! I guess I should have had more faith in his new found walking ability!!!

The British Invasion
It is not often when you are in the middle of Wisconsin and the Americans are out numbered by the Brits :) We had my cousin Dan, his wife Jayne, and their daughter Lauren (technically a Canuck) visited us for a week in September. Henry and Lauren are a bit too young to actually play together, but they played quite well beside each other.
We had a week of cabin, shopping, zoo, and ended the week with the Ovarian Cancer walk in memory of my mom. It was a fun week, and it was great to meet Lauren!
Here are the two stars:

Summer 2010
It's amazing how fast summer left us this year. We had a good summer, full of family, the lake, and visitors. Some of the highlights:
Henry's adoring fans/cousins. These cousins will bend over backwards (literally) to get a giggle out of Henry. An August weekend we had an Olson family gathering because Eric's sister Jen was in town with her two girls Sami and Tori.
We also went to a wilderness park where we got to feed the animals. Henry is wondering what the fuss is all about.
Although Henry is pumped, we are going to leave this water toy to the cousins for a few years!

9 months
Henry was 9 months on September 4th. One thing we learned is that it is getting a lot tougher to take these pictures! We got about 5 seconds when the alligator is undisturbed. Then the throwing started- the blue book you see flying through the air is Henry's passport! He is all set to go for his English Christmas.
We went to the Doctor for his checkup and his stats are:
Weight: 22lbs 13oz
Height: 29"
He's in the 75% percentile across the board. The Doctor said he looked more like a 12 month old, and we are probably going to end up with a big guy :)
