Not sure if anyone has noticed or not, but there has been a serious LACK of new pictures of Henry on the internet lately. This is because I suspect that Henry casually dropped our camera in the garbage. That is the only thing I can think of to explain the fact that we cannot find our camera. We've looked EVERYWHERE...at least, I think it we looked everywhere.

Henry's getting good at stuff...
This past weekend, Molly spent nearly all of Saturday getting ready for a craft fair, and then the majority of Sunday AT the craft fair. So, a lot of my ramblings below will be referencing stuff that happened over the past few days. I've realized that I don't spend nearly enough time with him.
Henry's sign language vocabulary has grown quite a bit.
He definitely knows the signs:
Milk
More
Help
Book
Sometimes he gets confused and says Book instead of Milk and the like, but he's figuring it out. Yesterday, I showed him the sign for water, and he did made a very close approximation...
He got this great book for his birthday, I think it is called "I can do it"? by Eric Carle. Each page has a different animal on it doing some sort of activity, and asking "Can you do it?" For several weeks now, Henry has been clapping at the seal page (showing that he can, in fact, do it). Then on Saturday, while I was reading it to him again, the elephant proclaimed that it could stomp its foot, which I demonstrated to Henry for clarity. Henry promptly started alternately stomping his feet. It was the cutest thing ever.
When I tell him, "go get your milk," he will walk over to the kitchen and wait at the gate that separates the kitchen from the rest of the house. (it's not quite 'getting' his milk, but he gets as close as he can to it). When we tell him to brush his teeth or take his bath, he walks over to the bathroom and points to the thing he needs to do that (like his tooth brush or the bath tub).
Henry seems to love music. We used to stand in the room that has our TV and stereo & stuff and listen to music and dance around (here, dancing means that we would hold henry and 'slow dance' or something to that effect). Henry would snuggle in and be generally cute. That kinda faded and became less fun for all involved as he started pushing away and being less content with this. But, yesterday, I decided that we would try it again. As soon as the music started, Henry sprang to attention and was SO happy that we were gonna dance around. He didn't snuggle in, but he started moving around in a 'trying to help my dad dance' kind of way. I thought I'd see if he'd dance on the floor, so I put him down, started dancing alone (i bet it was silly looking), and told him to dance with me. He did the elephant stomp. awesome :)

Henry...
So, Henry does so much awesome stuff, and has quite possibly left the title of "baby" behind and is may be more accurately classified as a "toddler."
Henry walks all over the place, wants books read to him over and over and over and over again (next time you come over, if you offer to read him "Corduroy's 4th of July," you will probably become his best friend), and gets into everything. I'm pretty sure that he means it when he says "Mama" now (though there's often a few extra ma's in there).
Henry loves animals and trucks. Big soft stuffed animals seem to be one of his favorite things right now. Henry would have loved the hundreds (ok, maybe just several dozen?) bright green parrots that I saw flying around North Riverside today, but he wasn't there. He loves having his mom read him book after book after book. Pretty sure he'd be able to just sit there for hours and have books read to him if given the chance.
He loves to throw his food on the floor from his high chair (I do not love this activity). When I got and get him in the morning when he wakes up, the first thing out of his hand (sign language) is "MILK!!" When I say back to him "Oh, you want milk? Really?" he says something that sounds like "meh." It's really cute. After he drinks his milk 1st thing, we like to hang out and snuggle on the couch for a little bit and pretend that it's not morning yet.
He likes to sit with me at the computer and watch photo slideshows.
And now, some of the best Henry pics...for more, visit his photo album (the link is at the bottom right of each photo.)
Harassing Daddy's boss is fun!
I LOVE animals!!!
Birthday Boy!
Cutest Parrot Ever! (and Liz)
Walking away
That was MY sailor-suit when I was Henry's age
Patiently waiting for more ice cream from Abuelito, after making a good mess of his chocolate cupcake.

Dumbledore and Catacombs?
What on earth do these two things have in common?
I have absolutely NO idea. But Henry seemed to say "Dumbledore nah nah nah catacomb" today. You might want to ask him about it next time you see him.
In the meantime...
In just 17 days, 1 hour, and a handful of minutes, he'll be one year old. :)
