First cereal

No surprises here -- he loved it. Solids, here we come!

Six months

Yes, he's sitting in a bathtub on the kitchen floor. He likes it.

Henry is six months old. Half a year. It's a bit hard to believe.

At his six-month check up, he weighed 22.5 pounds and was 28.5 inches long. For those of you keeping score at home, that's 95th percentile for height and... well... off the charts for weight. Or, to look at it another way, his weight is the average for a 13-month-old. Ahem. Our pediatrician isn't concerned, so neither are we, but jeez Louise.

He's still a pretty happy kid. He has been vocalizing more, trying out new sounds, and he's a pro at sitting up. We'll probably start introducing solid foods in the next week or so.

Happy six months, kiddo!

swimmin

My parents exposed me to the water at an early age, so I was eager to put Henry in the pool at a similar age. There was no particular age we were waiting for, and we had the time and desire today to march down to the CMU pool and get his swim lessons started off on the right foot. I think we were both apprehensive that it would somehow frighten him. Instead, hilarity ensued. Enjoy...
