Teeth

Not sure if I've mentioned this yet, but Henry has teeth. They started coming in at around 5 months. But it's been really hard to get a picture to share with the world. Mom took this picture when Henry was playing on the floor (by the way, he's learned to scoot around and is very close to crawling). So yeah, there's his teeth!

Our friend the fan

We're deep in the Illinois winter now which means Henry doesn't leave the house too often. Consequently, Henry gets a little bored in the living room (since we try not to let him watch tv). He likes to be escorted throughout the house and he really likes lights! Especially the light in the kitchen because it is also a ceiling fan. These pictures were taken of him watching the fan blades go round and round. I used the low light lens (best b-day gift ever) which I think adds some dramatic affect :)

Rubber Ducky

The other day when we were giving Henry a bath, we put a rubber ducky in with him. As he does with most everything he sees, he put the duck in his mouth. The duck has a hole in his mouth so he can drink (and spit back out) water. The funniest part was when he had the duck's head in his mouth and squeezed... The duck squirted water all over him! Here's some shots of Henry with the duck in his mouth :)

Neglect

Hello. I just want to set the record straight to make sure everyone knows I don't neglect Henry as much as I neglect his blog :)

It's been a long time... And it's not that I haven't been taking pictures. I know everyone is busy so that excuse won't work. So I'll fall back to the fact that I am on a computer for 10 hours a day at work and the only reason I want to get on a computer after that is to play civ 4. Case and point - the times when pictures were most regularly posted were times when I was off work (right after his birth and over Thanksgiving). But I try, I really do.

Mom sent me this picture one day while I was at work. It always brightens my day when I get a little break in my work with a picture message!
