Just Checking In

I don't have much to write, I don't want to get into the habit of neglecting my blog (again).

Anyway, there's lots happening. Henry's starting to run, he's not very good at it yet so it interferes with his walking. He's so determined and focused, I'm sure he'll have walking/running perfected by next week!

Katie gets home on the 15th (I think, I could be wrong). I'm excited to hear whatever accent she's picked up over there. I've been a bad sister and not signed up for skype to chat with her. Sorry Katie!

Henry loves going to the park. I enjoy unwinding from work outside. We've been going everyday since the weather's been so nice. It's getting very blustery and a little colder, so I don't know if we'll go today. That would be a bummer. Maybe my parents will be home tonight and would enjoy a visit.

Last thought: Wednesday at the park, there were several other kids there playing. Before we had always had the park to ourselves. Usually Henry will squeal with delight in the swing, but this time, he prefered to watch the other kids play, and hardly noticed he was in the swing. Wilson commented on this difference by saying, "Henry likes to people watch. He and Darcel would have gotten along great". I totally agree.

Henry Took His First Step Last Night! -Updated

Title says it all.

He's been standing for 2 months, I was surprised he took this long to start walking. (Well, he only took one step. I guess that doesn't really count as 'walking') He prefers to crawl still, I think he's afraid of falling.

Update: He is much more comfortable walking with one leg versus the other. On Sunday he walked in a circle because he was only using the one side!
