Henry at 15 months

Henry went to the doctor this week for his 15 month appointment. He is now officially 22lbs and 31.5 inches. Not grown too much because he's focussing on moving and talking all the time... His current favourite words are "down" "fan" and today it was "ball" for the first time. He can also do some animal noises, point to his head, mouth, teeth, feet and hands. He's really enjoying our Music Together classes every Thursday and can't wait for Granny to come next week!

Henry's First Haircut

We decided it was about time to tame the mop of crazy blond hair on Henry's head today and headed down to "LuLu's" in Park Slope for a fancy new haircut. Henry watched Bob the Builder and played with a phone while the hairdresser snipped away. He was absolutely brilliant throughout everything- no tears and sat very calmly until she was done. The new haircut looks great- very chic!

Messy Baby

Henry is learning how to use a spoon to feed himself- sometimes with his right hand, sometimes with his left...the results are a little messy though!

Labor Day weekend trip

We took a long trip over Labor Day weekend (bank holiday) to Ithaca and the Catskills. We were really lucky to have found a perfect houseswap in Ithaca and stayed in a beautiful old house by a creek, lake and forest. It was the perfect family holiday! Henry loved hiking (mostly sitting in our hiking backpack but sometimes climbing up the rocky trail paths) and swimming in the lakes and rivers. We caught up with old friends from Cornell, ate some fabulous food at the Farmer's Market and local vineyards and had great fun all together. We also explored the Catskill region on the way home and went for a beautiful hike in a state park near New Paltz.
