Look at this adorable outfit on Henry. Those little shoes are just too much!

I realize it looks like he’s crawling in this photo, but he’s not. Not yet, anyway.

Eight Months Old!

Henry turned 8 months old a week ago. He’s 21 pounds according to the bathroom scale. According to our in-home calculations, his body is 28 inches long and his noggin is 18 inches around. (We have another doctor’s visit in December for his nine month check-up.)

He’s got two fully sprouted teeth on his bottom jaw, and he’s cutting three more on the top right now. You should be able to see them in this close-up.

He’s sitting up like a champ, and has been learning how to go from laying down to sitting up all on his own. He’s desperately trying to learn how to crawl. I think it will happen any day now.

Here he is sporting his Cleveland Cavs jersey, thanks to Uncle Eric.

This past weekend Dave had to lower his crib as he looked like he might launch himself out. We usually let him play in his crib during the evenings - it’s a safe place to put him and he has a great time in there. Yesterday we had left the room and we could hear him happily squealing so we knew he was OK. The squealing increased (in a happy way, not a bad way) and so we came in to check. We found him woven through the crib slats attempting to get a toy that was outside his reach. And he was having a great time doing so!

Dave and Hiroe carved their pumpkins last Saturday. It was really gorgeous out, nice and sunny.

Larry and I supervised, beer in hand.

Finished!

Halloween at Home

We had a great time this Halloween. My mom came over and helped dish out candy while Dave took Henry to a few neighbors for his first trick-or-treat. Hiroe arrived just in time to experience her first ever Halloween night. We had one pumpkin carved and our front porch looked great. Henry had a great time seeing all the kids in costumes and getting passed around from person to person.

Halloween Party at School

We all know that Dave is an awesome dad. More proof is his visit to daycare last Friday to participate in the Halloween festivities. The girls at daycare were enamored of him because he was so helpful, and he had a great time seeing all the kids in their costumes. The costumes included an elephant, several pumpkins, a tigger, a vampire, a devil, a lion and of course Henry was a monster. The kids had a great time and were just so cute!!!
Trying not to post too many pics of the kids, but Zoe is so stinkin’ cute in this picture that I’m posting it. I’m pretty sure her mom is a blogger so I think it’s OK. Molly, can you pass this link on?

Crawling?

No, not yet. But, very soon, I think our little man will be crawling!
