Henry is 11 Months

This little goof is a hoot! He loves blowing raspberries! We love to play with him. He laughs at funny faces and all the teasing Jer does with him, even having his entire face smooshed into a Squishy Face.

Henry has been trying solids. We haven’t had luck with baby food. Instead, he sits in his high chair at the dinner table with us and we put a sample of food in a silicone teether or special feeder spoon for him. We have a bag of cut celery and large carrot sticks ready to give him a hard munchable if I need a break from the mess.

I think Oranges are his #1 favorite so far. He got super upset and burst into a straight up tantrum when we had to take away the orange carcass from him after he squished it up and sucked the juice. Masaman curry potatoes may be the runner up. He’s also tried mango, mashed potato, chicken noodle soup, gyro meat, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, tomatoes, pineapple, Cheerios.

He is sitting up and rolling around like a pro! It’s getting more difficult to change his diaper while he rolls or crawls away. He is in the “zoom zoom” phase of revving his baby bum for crawling.

On July 13, it felt like a switch in his head turned on and he all of a sudden knew how to crawl. He went the full length of the 9 foot rug wanting to put everything in his mouth.

The boys create towers, fleets of ships, and other objects from magnet tiles and blocks for Baby to knock down. He loves hanging with them in the “building pen / pit”.

He enjoys reading books (or maybe just opening and shutting the covers over and over).

Baby is becoming more of a stomach sleeper and I often need to roll him back over during his night feeds so that his G-tube site doesn’t get too much weight or pressure.
