Henry celebrated his eight month birthday this week, and with it finally crossed off the \u201croll over from back to tummy\u201d milestone.\u00a0 Mom found him on his stomach during his afternoon nap, and since then he has been rolling over like a madman.\u00a0 In fact, tonight when I put him down for bed, he immediately rolled over onto his tummy.\u00a0 He will also roll over to get a toy that he is interested in \u2013 and he has been showing more of an opinion lately on the toys that he plays with.\u00a0 He will now protest if you take away a toy and don\u2019t give it back \u2013 even if you replace it with a different one (one of Eleanor\u2019s favorite tricks) and will purposely select one toy over another when reaching out.\u00a0 Henry also ate an apple for the first time this week.\u00a0 He really enjoyed sucking on a larger piece,\u00a0 but didn\u2019t as much care for actually chewing and swallowing smaller pieces.\u00a0 On Sunday, he got in the neighbor\u2019s crazy coupe, and Eleanor pushed him around a bit.\u00a0 Hopefully this is foreshadowing future sibling cooperation.<\/p>\n

Eleanor rode her tricycle a few times this week \u2013 although she usually requires the pushing adult to also wear a bike helmet, which makes for some excellent photo opportunities.\u00a0 She has also been into helping Mom make her sandwich for lunch every day \u2013 she has gotten so good that she can recite off the ingredients by memory, and does almost all the assembly work herself.<\/p>\n
