the play pen

As with Annie, we weren't able to use the play pen for Henry for long. Oh, the promise of having a few spare minutes to cook dinner...

drums

Henry loves music, especially drums. Since he's been able to pull himself up, he's loved playing John's drums. The bongos are the perfect height for him.

These photos are from ~9months...

Henry also loves to dance. This video is from when he was a little older, in September. For two seconds I thought I was getting the perfect video of him and Annie, but then, as usual, they both want to come play with the phone. It's still one of my favorites anyway.

I have this picture on my desk at work, and it's one of my favorites. It's from the first time Henry played all by himself on the floor in Annie's room.

March. I'm getting caught up, I promise. Just when I think I'm done with the spring, I find new cuteness.
