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.
