This has been a big week for Henry...he can now hold himself up on our couch much to his delight- the first time we put him there by himself he was chuckling away, so proud that he could stand up by himself. He loves to try this out every day standing for longer periods of time. The other big news is that he has four teeth coming in! There is a scary picture here to show them off. Since the teeth have come in, he has turned his nose up at pureed mush now at dinnertime and is determined to feed himself. This is making every mealtime a longer and messier affair. He loves feeding himself pieces of pear, banana and toast. I try to get a quick spoonful of mashed sweet potato in his mouth when he isn't looking but he immediately blows raspberries as if to say "Mum! That stuff's for babies!" The weather is slowly getting warmer in New York so we have been enjoying the park and various playgrounds. One in particular is a favourite with Henry- the Tot Lot in Prospect Park as it has little slides and bars for babies his age.
