11 Months Old Today!

Here are some pictures of our guy sitting in his new chair from Aunt, Uncle, Cousins, Ye Ye and Nai Nai. He LOVES it. He got to see it this morning when he got up and has been sitting in it throughout the day. He loves to watch cartoon and take his bottle in it.

Henry giving himself a shot in the mouth. He really likes to play doctor already.

Today Henry is 11 months. Like I said, "Time flies when you are having fun!" We have a had a pretty good weekend. We (Aaron and I) have been trying to clean up our house to sell. However we didn't get as much accomplished as we wanted to. It's hard when you are wanting to use dangerous chemicals to clean and your baby wants to help! Selling our house is a HUGE step for us. Aaron has been here since law school and I have been here since we have married. We love our home and we pray it will go to someone special. We have actually found a neighborhood we love to be in. We are working with builder and Realtor. Pray everything will go our way.

So now.....let's talk about the special boy named Henry. He's sooooo fun. We just love him to death. He's so witty and has a mind of his own. He pretty much a serious baby. He watches and analyzes everything he sees. He's walking and standing up all on his own and he pretty much thinks he's cool! It's funny how babies do things when they are ready because now he's truly teething. He's still not sleeping well throughout the night but "whooot" needs sleep right?! I guess my dad, Ye Ye was right about having owl theme in his room. He said, "Henry is going to be up all night." Haven't I learned anything from my parents? We realize they are right from the start and again I didn't listen to him!!!!

Our Weekends

Henry tired at the Grape Festival

Bestie G and Brook riding the Merry Go Round. All night G kept saying, No Ride, No Ride. Wasn't so bad after all, right!

On our way to the ZOO.

Henry driving. 10 months going on 16!!! He had a blast with Da Da in the front seat.

Playing with the baby loins. They were about eight weeks old.

Da Da, Henry and Baby Loin

This past weekend we had a blast! We took Henry to the Tonitown Grape Festival and to the Gentry Wilderness Safari Zoo. He had so much FUN!!!!

We didn't ride any rides at the festival. Next year will be here before we know it and he will be able to ride them. He loved eating spaghetti at MaMa Z's. We had a great dinner withe Fulcher's and Len and Kathy Edens. Henry and Grayson were so behaved at dinner. Henry got to watch G ride the Merry Go Around. I think he was a bit envious but we knew he was more tired:)!

He got to see many animals at the zoo. He called all of them "Gou Gou" which is dog in Chinese. He even got to drive with Da Da and pet Baby Lions. We met the Chaneys and Sachdevs at the zoo. It was the most perfect Saturday morning there. The temperature wasn't too hot at all.

The most amazing thing happened this weekend. I was giving H a bath and all of sudden H was standing up all my himself with the biggest grin on his face. I was screaming for Da Da to come and see it. I told Da Da what H had done but don't be upset if he doesn't do it again. Both sat there for a moment and all of sudden H stood up again. This time for at least 30 seconds or longer. Wow....growing up so fast. I told Dada that he might start walking while he was going to be out of town and sure enough...8/9 Monday, I went and picked H up from school and I witnessed him taking two steps towards me. All the teachers were clapping and screaming and all the kids were crying. They got soooo scared. I had tears in her eyes thinking how thankful I was for seeing that instead of hearing about it. 8/11-- So today I went back to pick him up from school and his teacher told me he took four steps today. They said, "Henry was so proud." I am so proud of him. Now, I am really going to have my hands full with him. Well, the positive I might shed a few pounds chasing him. Ha!

WOW!

Look at him. Is he freaking cute or what?! This is Chris Stinson work. He does some fabulous work. We had these taken a month ago on a Saturday morning at the Fayetteville Square.

New Toy

Henry got a new today from his momma and dada. Dada says, "It's his first birthday present." and Momma says, "It's just a gift." Whatever! Henry loves it whatever it is. He actually cries when you stop or his moves forward in motion like come on!!!
