Weight:  28 lbs 9 oz      92nd percentile

Height:  31.25 inches    56th percentile

First Haircut June 12th.  Nice and short for the summer.

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

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.
