It is amazing how big he is these days! He is saying a few words now. The 1st official word was Hazel. It sounds more like "Azzzeeel". It is amazing to watch him point at her, then squeal "Azzzeeeel!!!" The fact that he can associate names with things is such a big thing to us! He has a few other words under his belt. For whatever reason the 2nd word he really said consistenly was picture, again it sounded like "iiccctcturre". He definitely points to any sort of art work on a wall and deliberately says the word. In interest of full disclosure, he also says "dada". But I am still thinking that is a fluke. He really means "ma ma is my favorite"
Henry was baptized on September 19th in the church that I grew up in, and all the family came to help us celebrate! Adam (my little brother) and Erin (Eric's little sister) are Henry's god parents. I think he's in good hands :)
Henry in his christening outfit. It is not easy to find a christening outfit for a large 9 month old!!!!! We couldn't bring ourselves to force the bonnet on him.
Nana came into town for the baptism so we helped celebrate her 80th Birthday!!! Including Henry's first taste of chocolate cake. He is a fan.
During cake time, Uncle Adam taught him a game. Adam raised his hands and said "So Big!" and then Henry returned the gesture. Now in our house if Henry looks at you and raises his hands, you better return the favor or his mood may change for the worse! Demanding toddler in our future perhaps?!
We also had this weekend where we came up to the cabin on the beautiful 75 degree day and played in the leaves. He only tried to eat a couple:
