Playa Eight-a

Today was Henry's eight-month birthday. He's actually added a lot to his repertoire over the past month. He can crawl across a room in no time. He pulls himself up to a standing position using anything from ottoman to bedspread to Golden Retriever leg. And--much to our relief--he can go from standing up to sitting down without falling and hitting his head in the process. He has also gotten in his first tooth (bottom) and number two is just starting to peek out (bottom, neighbor of first tooth). All in all, a pretty eventful month...

One more thing that Henry has starting doing during the last month: feeding himself Cheerios, which he is able to do with a success rate of about one out of seven O's....
