Sitting Up

I think I posted the other day that Henry is learning how to sit on his own. It is still a learning process, but he is getting much better at it. He is able to sit on his own for a minute or two before tumbling over. Here are a few pictures we were able to get of him sitting by himself this morning.

Free At Last!

Henry has been sleeping in a swaddle blanket since the day he was born because supposedly that is the best way for babies to sleep. Well, what they didn't tell us was that sometimes babies get attatched to the swaddle blanket. Henry could not sleep without his. Since swaddle blankets are only rated up to 20 pounds and he is 21 pounds, we figured it was time to break him. It took three times of putting him down without the blanket for him to finally realize that he could sleep without it. We tried a few weekends ago to break him and unfortunately he won that battle. After a few weeks of getting up at all hours when he got loose and couldn't get back to sleep we decided to give it another try. Thankfully, it looks like this time will be a success! Here are some pictures of him in his newfound freedom. I have been looking and can't find any decent pictures of him before we took the blanket away(which makes me very sad). I'm almost tempted to give it back just for a picture since it has been an important part of his life for the past 5 1/2 months!

Baby or Puppy?

I thought this picture was too cute not to share. Now that Henry has teeth he hooks his toys over his teeth to hold them! He kind of looks like a little puppy dog carrying his toys. If you look close, you can see his teeth.
