Life's a Beach: Officially 9 months!

Henry is officially 9 months! He has been 'on the outside' as long as he was in!

We went to the pediatrician this week and we have one very healthy baby! I believe he used the word "perfect," but we already knew that! And, as if on cue, when the doctor asked whether Henry has started to be more verbal, Henry proceeded to wave and say "hi." This was followed by more waving, lots of talking, and the doctor saying "well, yes, I believe he is letting me know that he likes to talk!

We are glad summer is finally here! And so happy that Grandma Sobczak and Aunt Katie are out of school, and also that we are going to head to Lake Michigan and Crystal lake in early July! Henry is enjoying the backyard - crawling in the grass, going for walks, and enjoying all the trees, bushes, flowers, and birds he sees all around him!
