Strapping 5 Month Old

We LOVE having Henry around.  Not only is he cute, but he is so happy and funny.  He is a true joy to spend time with, and we loooove him.

 

He loves to smile, sit up, be held, eat, talk, and has decided that anything and everything tastes GOOD and must get in his mouth immediately.

 

For instance, his toes.  This picture was taken kind of accidently.  Charlie asked what Henry was doing and I said biting his toes.  I tried to get one of him watching Henry, but instead captured a shot of Charlie BITING HIS TOE.  You might not be able to tell, but this was the moment Hank started screaming at the top of his lungs and big bro C was so confused.  Why was he upset when he was doing the exact same thing?  Good grief.

 

He was really interested in the warning label on the side of the Bumbo seat.  He tries to pick up words and pictures from books, etc.  We all find that pretty adorable.  He finds it slightly frustrating.

 

This picture cracks me up.  I got down on his level to get a picture of him lying down, and he spotted the camera.  He can't crawl yet, but does an amazing job getting around anyway.  He will either roll or he will point his little toes and launch himself forward.  He did that over and over trying to reach me, making this face the whole time.  He actually did succeed in getting to the camera.  I felt kind of bad not letting him touch it.  He worked so hard.  :)

 

These pictures remind me of his big bro Charlie when he was about 6 months old - http://firstcomeslove-jacobs.blogspot.com/2013/08/attack.html

 

Henry also loves his little walker (we have no stairs, so it's safe), grabbing my cheeks and giving me kisses, reading books, and playing with his brothers and sisters. 

 

 He loves being outside, seeing his daddy come home from work, listening to music, and being tickled.  Basically, he is so super sweet and wonderful.  I love having my Henry boy around.  He makes my life better, and makes me want to be better.
