Learning to walk

Henry has been on the precipice of walking independently for several months now. Every single day seemed like the day he would start walking on his own, but up until this past weekend he preferred the support of holding the hand (or finger) of an adult. Apparently all he needed was the motivation of being able to show off for his beautiful friend Lucy visiting from Michigan. Thank you Libby, Jeff and Lucy for making the trip out to see us!

Henry's first trip to the North Shore

We made a road trip with Henry up to the North Shore this past weekend. In Lutsen and Grand Marais we were blessed with fantastic "fall-like" weather, beautiful scenery, delicious food and a great time with fabulous friends. Henry especially enjoyed that "ah dahgg" (aka Caffrey the dog) was there with us. And although he was a little nervous at first, he also thoroughly enjoyed our gondola ride at the ski resort up to the top of Moose Mountain over a beautiful brook and a rocky hillside.

Dirty Henry

Henry has been coming home absolutely FILTHY from daycare these days. I think he must spend the majority of his day going back and forth between the sandbox and the water table and back. He generally has dirt covering his face and in his shoes, and sometimes he even has it in his armpits. I believe my once weekly laundry days may be over.
