June 2, 2009 - 9 months old

Henry was 9 months on June 2. He is on one mission and that is to walk! He isn't yet, but is pulls up on anything that stands still long enough!

Pink Palace and Bath/Bedtime

Abigail on her first trip to the Pink Palace.

He will kill me one day, but I just want to remember those cute rolls that will be gone soon since he is walking more and more everyday and how much he loves to cruise the side of the tub waiting for his turn. He loves turning on the water too!

His 2nd favorite place if right here under the kitchen table. He spends a lot of time there and is learning to walk by pushing the chairs all over the kitchen!

Big boy carseat!

Henry was 9 months old when I couldn't carry him in that infant seat any longer. I had waited until Abigail was done with preschool because it was easier to leave him in it to go in to get her. We were getting it all ready in the house before we put it in the car.

Loves the new seat! (I am so behind in blogging that he is now facing the front instead of the rear, this pic was taken in May)

Just a cute picture of Abigail and Henry playing together!

"Jumping Thing" and First Boo Boo

We have this "Jumping Thing" (as abigail calls it) at the mall and she has been wanting to do it since she saw it and I always tell her we have to wait for Daddy to come with us so one Friday night he finally did and she had a blast. We had to wait in line and she was watching some bigger kids and they were doing flips so when it was her turn she was throwing her head back trying to do a flip. She really didn't even weigh enough to jump. The workers were grabbing her harness and pulling her down so that she would fly back up.

Henry got his first big scrape , he pulled a box down off of a chair and it scratched his face. It bled a little but he was fine in about 1 minute, it did look pretty bad though.

Preschool Graduation

On May 20, Abigail had her preschool graduation. They marched in and had their name called and sang a few songs. She was funny because they had practiced some at school and they were calling out everyone's full name and she had memorized them all. She would say them like the announcer was saying them. She liked for me to say the names (after she taught them to me) and we practiced at home with the pretend people going and then it was her turn.

This is Abigail and her favorite friend at school Ellie Grace. They aren't going to be in the same class next year because she switched to m-w-f and we are staying the same Tues/Thurs.

Playing and Hula Hooping

Henry was just enjoying the nice weather. He liked being able to crawl around the blanket and I didn't have to worry about him crawling off because he didn't like the grass and when he got to the edge, he wouldn't touch it!

Abigail got her hula hoop for her birthday and she has practiced and practiced and she can go like crazy! I am shocked at how good she is. She can keep it up for the longest time and then let it go down to her knees and still will keep it going.

Dance Recital

On May 18 Abigail had her first dance recital. She had taken lessons at church for 10 weeks and they had a small recital at the end. She loved the lessons and did great at the recital. She really was the only one who seemed to know what was going on, I am not just being partial! It was a good experience for just starting out.
