Little Man Standing

Henry loves sitting in Daddy's recliner. This is the most recent recliner photo from our last beach trip over Thanksgiving weekend. Mommy took Henry to the tree lighting in downtown Rockaway where we sang carols and he got his first glimpse of Santa. He officially visited Santa last Wednesday and did an amazing job. Even a few smiles.

Giggly boy.

Henry can now stand up. He climbs up EVERYTHING, even the walls, literally. It won't be long before he starts walking around furniture as well. I can't believe how fast kids develop!!!

By way of other updates, his favorite toys these days aren't toys at all. Today, he played with a gladware container for over a half hour straight. He also loves the sound of ripping paper and my metal water bottle. He LOVES his new Santa board book that Grandma Sherry gave him at Thanksgiving. He wants to read it over and over and over again, which I of course oblige. : ) His favorite foods these days include oatmeal (with a little agave nectar), cheese, cheerios, persimmons, clementines, raspberries, and butternut squash. His fourth tooth arrived this last week as well, which made for a few restless nights. He is trying desperately to learn how to drink water from a sippy cup but he still doesn't quite know how to seal his lips, so the water just dribbles down his chin. He is so proud of himself though when he gets the water to flow. Its pretty funny to watch.
