Our happy kid is quite pleased with himself and his accomplishments. We find him clapping and cheering, "Yea!" for himself when he completes a task like nesting his blocks or putting away a toy.
He is taking an especial liking to sitting in rocking and stationary chairs as well as any available step or ledge lately, and I imagine him saying, just like my mom's mom used to say, "It sits well."
He continues to love to be read to and to read us, citing "moon," "duck," "dog," "bubbles," and other frequently seen illustrations. His love of books also includes their uncanny ability to be scattered about in random places such as our garden tub or in Penny's box.
He is still getting bit far too often in daycare, and we know exactly which child is biting him. Yet, he still seems very happy with his teachers and classmates and recently began talking about them at home. We frequently hear about "Mia, Zach, Wawa." (Jeremiah, Zack, and Laura) We met with the YW director last week and know that they are doing their best to thwart the bites as well as teach the habitual biter to cope in other ways. We were asked if we have any ideas, and for some reason, the director shot down all of my suggestions.

Henry is also fairly proficient in clothing removal and can also put clothes in his hamper. (This accomplishment can bring on a cheer, too.) He continues a love affair with shoes, and he is now attempting to put them on all by himself. It's a little frustrating for him, though, that he has no real success at it yet.
Walking is definitely secondary to running for Henry these days. He runs inside and out and had a supremely good time running around with his cousins last week.
It's no wonder he gets really, really tired sometimes.
Our boy is growing so fast that it can feel like we can't keep up with him. This catch up post was fun for me. Henry is a neat kid, and I love looking back on and looking forward to good times with him.
