Henry turned six months old this week!\u00a0 He passed his six month checkup with flying colors despite his lack of progress in the rolling over department.\u00a0 He has been trying lots of new foods lately, including bananas, carrots, peas and prunes.\u00a0 So far, carrots seem to be his favorite. \u00a0You can see him get really excited and open wide and swoop in with his neck. \u00a0While Eleanor had her \u201cHappy Eating Noise\u201d, Henry seems to have a \u201cHappy Eating Dance\u201d \u2013 swaying from side to side as he gums down the carrots.\u00a0 He has also been making lots of progress sitting, and now sits fairly well in the booster seat for meals.\u00a0 His standing is coming right along too, with a few short stints standing while holding on to something all by himself.<\/p>\n

Both kiddos enjoyed a visit from Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma, in town to celebrate Uncle B\u2019s birthday.\u00a0 Then, on Sunday we went out for breakfast and a visit to the grocery store, where Eleanor loves to ride the escalator.\u00a0 Eleanor had been asking to go \u201cout\u201d for breakfast all week.<\/p>\n

Eleanor has been working on her reading this week \u2013 she loves to read stories to her various stuffed friends.\u00a0 She has a surprising number of books memorized \u2013 sometimes we will catch her reading word for word what is on the page, other times she will reenact what Mom or Dad does while reading that particular book.\u00a0 She also became more interested in her utensils again this week \u2013 using the spoon and fork for entire courses again instead of her hands.\u00a0 She has also pulled out a few songs all by herself, including \u201cRing around the Rosie\u201d and \u201cTwinkle twinkle little star\u201d.\u00a0 Since she got to feed Henry some bananas last week, she has been putting a bib on Monkey, Baby and Elmo and pretend feeding them with the same spoon.<\/p>\n
