and THIS guy...So, on this day, he was done eating his cereal, but there were several big scoops left. So, we decided to play with it...I put it in a nice little pile on his tray and let him take it from there.

He really is a happy little man...

...who absolutely loves to stand. If there is anything sturdy nearby, he will work as hard as he can to pull himself up. And if there is anything not sturdy nearby...he'll work as hard as he can to pull himself up, and end up pulling said non-sturdy thing on to him instead.

This was his first wagon ride ever with his cousin Lily. He seemed to like it well enough. I'd never known a wagon to have a seat belt in it, but I guess those come standard now. Good thing, too, or he would have face-planted at Lily's feet.

Reaching is totally his new thing. Not sure if he's been doing it more with Molly or not, but I just really noticed it yesterday. He reaches for EVERYTHING. It's pretty cool, cause I'm pretty sure he's learning that he can indicate a desire for something . . . bad part comes in when there's like 40 things gathered together - well, which thing is it that he wants?

Molly bought Henry a bunch of cooking implements from the dollar store. He's got spoons (good for licking) and a colander (good for sticking his head in, and chewing on the rim). Everything pretty much goes in his mouth. He sits (mostly) patiently while we make his meals. Oh, and he's got two teeth now. One of them has been out for a couple of weeks. And another little one peeking out right next to it (I think we just noticed that one a few days ago).

Our new thing in the morning is to hang out in the computer/tv room and listen to music and dance. It either totally invigorates him in a really happy way (complete with laughing and squealing, which is pretty much the best thing ever) or really calms him down. Today we were dancing to some Jack Johnson and he started falling asleep in my arms. I had to wake him up cause his nap was in about a half hour and it would have ruined it. But that hasn't happened in a really really long time and it was the sweetest thing ever. I left work early today and we were listening to Cake's version of Mahna Mahna and I was of course singing along in the silliest voice I could come up with. He was just laughing his little head off.

Love him. Can't believe he's like 8 1/2 months old now! He's got his [nearly] 9 month check-up next week. size details to come...
