i like food, food is good.

Food update . . . making Henry's food is still going well. Really enjoying it. He has tried:

veggies: green peas, butternut squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, broccoli

fruits: apples, pears, mangoes, plums, peaches

he likes everything except green peas. we have tried them 8 different times and he makes this dramatic gagging noise and then will not open his mouth. everything else he really enjoys!

next on the list to try: green beans, bananas, avocados

Mobility/Health update: he turned 8 months old this past weekend. yes, 8 months. weird. he weighs around 19 pounds we think and goes back to the doc in a month for check up (no shots-yea!). He is sitting up pretty well, still needs a few pillows behind him. His legs are really getting strong and if you hold his hands he can stand with some stability. He will tuck his knees underneath him when sleeping, but is not showing much interest in crawling. Sometimes he seems interested in pulling up, sometimes he doesn't. Still no teeth. No new noises other than the "dadaddada" and "bababababa." His hand/eye coordination is good - he can grasp small items with his thumb and forefinger. I think he is starting to respond to his name; although he has several names so who knows. Our dogs seemed to have learned their various nicknames so there is hope for him yet. That's about all I can think of for now . . .
