7 months old





















Henry turned 7 months on Sunday. He is now 16 lbs. 8 oz. Every day he is changing--it's so hard to keep up with him. He is now an expert sitter and very rarely falls over. He is in the precrawling phase. He can get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He also reaches forward and stretches out his little body. Even though he can't technically crawl yet, he is constantly on the move! He crawls all over me and rolls back and forth. It won't be long before he is on the move. Time to baby proof the condo!



Henry's sleeping patterns are becoming more consistent. He takes 3 naps during the day, but it is still a challenge to get him in the crib. He has good days and bad, regarding naps. We can always count on him taking a good nap in his stoller though. At night he still wakes up a few times, which is exhausting for us. Sometimes he surprises us and only gets up once. Those are fabulous nights.


He is still enjoying trying new foods every few days. A new recent favorite is yogurt.

Michigan
















































We just spent a week and a half in Michigan. It was so much fun--Henry met many more relatives including his cousins, Sean and Josh from Colorado. Henry had a blast with all of his family and friends.




























We even went to Bass Lake with Mark's family for 4th of July weekend. Henry went for his first canoe ride. Gracie had a great time swimming in the lake. We all enjoyed the beautiful, sunny weather! Even though Henry has been known to be a light sleeper, he slept through all the fire works. That made me VERY happy!
