It’s been a busy couple of weeks for Henry! On Monday he reached the nine month mark (that’s 75% of a year, and it makes me very very blue that he’s growing soooo fast).
But that’s not all!  In the past few weeks he has:
Learned how to pull himself into a sitting position,
Mastered the art of pulling himself into a standing position while holding furniture,
Taken a bath or two in the kitchen sink,
Helped with the dishes,
Eaten a book (appropriately entitled “Just Me and My Little Brother”),
And learned how to wave “bye bye”!
While I love watching all of these new tricks, each one makes me cringe a bit.  I miss the newborn days.  But I am thankful that he is growing big and strong, and already showing such cleverness by helping mama with the dishes.
