The kids celebrated the Fourth with a BBQ at Uncle B\u2019s house, with master chef Jay cooking up an amazing spread.\u00a0 Henry conquered a few firsts this week, including his first time down a slide (with Mom holding on), and on Sunday he added three more roll overs to his original for a total of four.\u00a0 I\u2019m thinking many more are about to come.\u00a0 He has been making lots of fun noises lately, and is getting really good at sitting up, albeit with a few bumps along the way.\u00a0 Henry is really taking to eating food \u2013 he packs away at least a packet of food at each meal, and sometimes more.\u00a0\u00a0 He tried his first solid food this week (a puff), but that didn\u2019t go over nearly as well.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure he will come around though, I have a feeling he is going to be a big eater.<\/p>\n

Eleanor continues to explore longer phrases and sentences, and is also doing a lot of singing.\u00a0 She sang the whole ABC song for Grandma and Grandpa on Skype, which is a huge step considering that she usually gets shy and won\u2019t even say their names J\u00a0 She also started the countdown to her 2nd<\/sup> birthday, less than a month to go!\u00a0 Both kiddos have been growing a bunch lately, with Eleanor needing a new pair of shoes and Henry finally graduating from his 3-6 month clothes!<\/p>\n
