Scooter

Henry is definitely mobile now. Still mostly pulling himself along with his arms, but he's really good at it now! He scoots around our house, which is mostly hardwood (side note: we just sold our house so if you know of a cheap place for rent in Morton, let us know!).


With the mobility comes some new and awesome things for Mom and me (and certainly some challenges, but let's focus on the positive). One of my new favorite things is when Henry crawls back over to me after he's been exploring and comes right up to my lap and looks up at me. So I pull him up and he sits on my lap while we play with a toy and about a minute later, he regrets his decision and goes exploring again. Another one of my favorite things happens at the end of the day. Mom's been busy lately, so I've gotten to put Henry to bed more often than usual. So my new favorite thing is when I'm holding him in my arms with his head nuzzled on one arm, body laying across my stomach, as I sing him a song and pat his back, his eyes slowly close. That moment when you can tell that he has actually fallen asleep... Wow. So peaceful.


This is probably the longest post yet! Better include a picture, too :)
