Spike!
We attend 10+ Round Rock Express Games every summer and this year Henry has had many encounters with their mascot, Spike. He watches for Spike walking through the stands and the second he spots him he stops whatever he is doing and points at him. Spike often comes through our section so Henry has been able to give him a high-five, hug and play peek-a-boo with him.

Height: 31.25 inches 56th percentile

Eating Habits: Eats nearly everything and absolutely loves berries and grapes. He still loves black beans and could eat nearly and entire can a week if we let him. Will eat yogurt on a spoon or mommy's oatmeal. He tries to feed himself once we load up the spoon with food. He can get it to his mouth or near his mouth if we don't study the food as it falls off the spoon. We started giving him whole milk with his lunch and dinner most days, so far he isn't a fan.
Motor Skills: Learning to feed himself with a spoon. Hasn't grasped scooping with the spoon but can get the scoop end to his mouth. He's signing to us more often. Mostly signing "more" when he wants milk, sometimes signs "milk", signs "all done" and every so often "cheese". He can pull himself up on a kitchen chair. He's also nearly figured out how to scale the mesh baby-gates. He will also press buttons on the DVD player to try and watch his videos. Henry has figured out how to put his Legos together. New chore this month : press the button to open or close the garage door. Henry has figured out velcro and will undo his diaper when not wearing pants over it.
Sleeping Habits: Still wakes up about once or twice a night, mostly waking around 4am or if we're lucky sleeping through until 8:30 or 9am. Goes to bed between 9:15 and 10pm after he nurses and Jason reads Lake Wobegan Days by Garrison Keillor. Every few days he attempts to only take his morning nap, and skip the afternoon, but it hasn't worked out and he gets super grumpy and naps. His morning nap is 2.5-3 hours after he wakes up for about and hour to 1.5 hours. Afternoon nap about 3.5-4.5hours after he wakes up from morning nap.
Speech: points to Jason and says da, ball, vroom (while pushing vehicles) cat, hi, hello, how are you (ow r oo), bye, mumuma (only when upset or wants something), and says "meow" about a 100x a day whenever he sees the cats or any other animal.
Teeth : 8 teeth, we keep hoping molars are coming due to some really cranky nights
Clothing: wearing all 24 month/2T size clothes
Clothing: wearing all 24 month/2T size clothes
Other: Started Music Together class and swim lessons at Aqua-Tots. We also love going to the splash pad at the park and getting soaked. He's started to respond to his "Your Baby Can Read" videos and will wave touch his toes and clap when they do. He is always dancing whenever music comes on commercials or his video and we've been trying to capture more of it on video. He's started to notice "Spike" the Round Rock Express mascot and will point to him when he spots him across the crowd or field and track his movements until he is out of view again.
First Haircut
First Haircut June 12
We went to Sharkey Cuts for Kids on Sunday June 12 for Henry's first haircut. He got to sit in a cherry red Ferrari F430 and watch Dumbo while they cut his hair. He stayed in the car for most of the haircut and only noticed the lady cutting his hair every so often. About 75% done with haircut she thought that he was getting too wrapped up in the cape and decided to take it off Henry. He thought this meant he was done and he started to get wiggly. Jason held him while she did a little more trimming. We put him back in the chair so she could use the clippers on a bit of the back and he did great! We took lots of pictures and have a lock of his hair for his baby book too.

Waterpark fun!
Henry has so much fun at the splashpad. The worst part is slathering us both up with gallons of sunscreen and walking to the water in the 100+ degree heat, but once we're there it's a great time and easy to cool off. Henry is usually playing with buckets or cups in the many shooting fountains or running across the splashpad to see what the big kids are doing. I can barely keep up with him he moves so fast at times. He loves playing in the water.
14 months old!
Short but sweet....
- Henry got the Chicken Pox! 3 weeks after receiving the vaccine. They think he was exposed just before he got the vaccine (we think probably when we went to play at the mall)
- A few days after Henry got the chicken pox Jason came down with Hand, Foot and mouth and was quarantined to the first floor away from Henry and I until he felt better.
- While playing with Henry on the guest bed I tried to catch his leg before he went off the bed head-first and broke my ring finger.
- Grandma B came to visit over Memorial day weekend and taught Henrya new skill, to knock on doors.

13 months old!
Quick rundown of the month - probably missing a few details writing this 3 months later
Roseola, first group bday party, Grandma Carol visit, zoo trip, First Easter egg hunt, baseball season begins.
Mom and Dad leave Henry for 6 whole hours! We attended a wedding of our friends Dana and Kenley.
And while we were gone Grandma taught Henry to twirl. Now he'll twirl around and around until he's dizzy and falls over, giggling the whole time.

Cameron Park Zoo
While Grandma Carol was here to visit in April we took a trip to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, TX.
We timed our 1.5 hour drives just right so that Henry napped during most of the drive there and back. We wheeled Henry through the park in his stroller and looked at all the animals. We knew when he spotted the animal because he would give a little sly smile and point at the animal. His favorite was the fresh water aquarium watching the fish swim by in the 1-story high aquarium. Here are some pictures from that day.

Easter Egg Hunt
Grandma C, Jason and I took Henry to his first Easter Egg Hunt at the park near our house. There were so many kids in his age group 0-3 we weren't sure how it would go, if he would be trampled and get a chance to get to the eggs. He just walked right out in front of us and picked up his 4 eggs, all he could hang on to. He didn't want to put the eggs in the bucket to collect more or let go of any of them while we were at the park. He even climbed playground equipment without letting them go.
