Henry Turns One

One year ago, in about an hour, I met Henry face to face. I wrote his birth story several months ago so I thought I'd be simple and share some of my favorite photos from each month of his life. Sadly, I hardly took any when he was two to six months old. But you can see how much he's changed. He's not walking yet but he's an expert crawler so it might be awhile until he sees a need to travel by foot. His development seems focused onto his teeth as his two bottom molars just pushed through this week. That makes 10 teeth! We are weening him off of his baby food and made him eat cut up pizza tonight. It's time he learns about the budget. I am also going to cut his hair this week. I love his long, lucious locks but he gets called a girl several times a week, no matter what he is wearing, and my tradition has always been to cut it for the first time at a year. I am going to miss his wild mane, though.
