henry at nine months

At Henry's checkup this month, Dr. B. kept remarking on how "full of personality" he is. And she's right. Instead of the normal "mama" and "dada" babbling most babies do, ours waits until we're talking to him, and then gives us his feelings on the matter: "blah, blah, blah." And unlike most babies his age, Henry doesn't sit up by himself. Not because he can't, but because he'd much rather be on the ground and on the move, getting into everything he can.

He continues to be the happiest baby of them all. He smiles and laughs easily, and even when he gets angry or demanding, he is easily pacified with a smile or laugh from one of us. He's partial to Liam in particular, and Liam is equally happy to sing and talk to Henry to keep him in good spirits.

Henry's growing right on schedule, as you can see. He's consistently followed the same growth curve every month, and this one was no exception. Here are his stats, and you can see a couple more pictures below.

28.75 inches
19.4 pounds
