An update on Henry and some recent photos. He is doing great! He is 16 months old now. He is now cutting his canine teeth, all four of them at once. That only leaves the four second molars remaining. Such a big boy!! He uses those teeth to mow down an ear of corn in no time flat. It is quite an impressive sight. (See pictures below.)
He is walking well and trying to run as much as possible. He loves to be chased around anything. He is babbling a ton, and now he’s starting to mimic words that you say. He says “ball” and “duck” and “hello” and “bye.” He is a very good eater. He eats a lot of variety and does pretty good with vegetables and proteins. He loves, loves, loves fruit! He’ll be to the doctors for his 18 month checkup soon and we’ll have more detailed updates then.

Memorial Day Cookout
We had a lovely cookout last Sunday with a few friends and assorted munchkins. Thanks for coming!
Beaney was the first guest to arrive, with his fabulous guacamole, followed shortly after by my mom, who brought nearly a bushel of fresh corn on the cob. Sawyer, Shannon and Steve dropped by from next door. Jim, Tammy, Cooper and baby Claire all showed up rarin’ to go, and Rob, Mandy and Madeleine joined us. Cristin came and brought deviled eggs, which disappeared very quickly. Sawyer and Henry each ate two deviled eggs! And Dan, my friend Bob’s brother, who just moved to the area for his new job also came.
We had so much food and everyone ate ’til they were stuffed silly. The kids loved playing in the wading pool and climbing on the Kangaroo Climber. Then Dave broke out the sprinkler and Henry went C-R-A-Z-Y. Both Henry and Cooper (17 months) tried their first ear of corn and they both loved it! In the evening, Henry and Cooper took a bath together so Jim and Tammy could stay a little longer. Dave and I were both exhausted at the end of the day!

Henry & food
Lately we’ve been trying to make sure that Henry eats what we’re having for dinner so we’re not in the habit of making two dinners every night.
Last week that meant chicken curry with peas and rice, spinach pie, tacos, and pizza. He’s doing really well so far. He even held his own taco.
Messy Marvin
My favorite lunch to feed Henry these days is mini pita pockets stuffed with mashed bananas and crunchy sunflower butter. He goes ape for it!
Yesterday I think he ate seven of these little sandwiches. Which are each cut in half so that’s like 14! He is an eating machine.
I was wise enought to anticipate the mess nut butter can make, so he ate half-naked.
