My baby boy is now 7 months old. These past 7 months have flown by! I wish time would slow down just a little bit :) Henry now has two bottom teeth and four top teeth. He loves using these new little teeth to chew wagon wheels, puffs (puffens), and his new favorite snack gerber cheese puffs. It is so cute watching him pick up food off of his high chair tray and try to get it in his mouth. He gets really frustrated with the cheese puffs if he can't get them in his mouth fast enough. He is also loving mashed potatoes. That is our go-to food to order when we are eating out :)

Henry has discovered his hair and ears and is starting to grab at both of them often. He also loves to play with my hair, especially when he is tired. I told Nick that I am never going to cut my hair short again because I need to have long hair for Henry to play with :)
Henry is moving all around his crib. I had to put the bumpers up because he was getting his chubby little legs stuck. He now prefers to sleep on his tummy, and he is now putting himself to sleep. I have to admit that it was hard for me to give up rocking him to sleep, but I know that it is best that he learns to put himself to sleep. We have a bedtime routine that works really well. I rock him while I read him a story, and then we say our prayers. Then, I put Henry in his crib with his bunny and turn on his music and fish mobile. He usually falls asleep within 5-10 minutes. There is nothing better than reading to my sweet little boy. This is my absolute favorite thing to do with Henry!

Henry has officially upgraded from his baby tub to a big boy tub, and he is loving it! He loves playing in the bathtub with all of his toys and his rubber duckies. Oscar likes to jump on the side of the tub and watch. I think he is jealous of all of Henry's bath toys ;)

Henry has figured out how to use his walker, but he can only walk backwards right now :) He loves being able to move around the living room and kitchen. We are in the process of baby proofing the house now.

Henry and Oscar Mayer have always been close and gotten along, but recently these two have become inseparable! They are best buddies. Oscar always brings Henry his toys...he hasn't figured out yet that Henry can't throw them for him. Henry loves to pet Oscar, and Oscar is just so patient and good with him. Anyone who knows Oscar Mayer knows that he is a tad on the crazy and wild side so it is really sweet to see him be so good around Henry :) I am so thankful for my sweet little boys!

Nick and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary. He surprised me with a date night downtown. We went to dinner at Top of the Riverfront which was so cool. It is a rotating restaurant at the top of the Millennium Hotel. It had the best views! I can't believe that we have been married two years already. They have, by far, been the best two years of my life!

Life is good! I am absolutely loving spending time at home with Henry. I could get used to this stay at home mom gig :)
