10 Months- September 8, 2014
Dear Henry,
I could sit here and lament that you are in double-digit months, but I won’t. Instead I’m going to write about all the awesome, funny things you do and tell you how you make life amazing.
I joke that you are what someone would get if they crossed a tiny bull with a squirmy puppy. You never stop moving. You’re fast and loud. Your excited, piercing screams are a new thing none of us are sure we love. You are not at all gentle. Henry, sometimes you’re aggressive when you grab my hair, or your big sister’s hair and pull. You scratch and claw other babies faces when you play. You don’t mean to. You are just having fun. You are aggressive, but adorably aggressive and do it with a big toothy grin.
This is an outtake from pictures from the wedding last week. I have a tight grip on you. Trust me, you are screaming and laughing.
I have to have back up when changing your diaper. If no one else is around I sometimes hold you upright and let you “stand” while changing you with one hand. You refuse to lay still on the changing table. I often hand you the TV remote sans batteries that you love so much. That still doesn’t keep you still. The remote is sans batteries because you change channels when chewing and holding it. We gave you your own.
At your nine month checkup we learned all this moving means you have slimmed down big time! You are not the chunky baby you were a few months ago. You are 19 lbs. 5 oz. and just in the 24th percentile for weight and 41st for height. Your head is still large and in charge in the 98th percentile. Baby hats are no longer an option. Only toddler hats. Poor kid, sometimes I have to work to get shirts over that noggin. Some won’t go over at all. You can wear clothes sizes from 6 months to 12 months.
I love our time together feeding you in the highchair everyday. Your smiles and funny faces as you try new foods make it fun. You are liking more finger foods and always up for whatever’s cooking in the kitchen.
You keep us laughing, Henry. You make us an even better family. We love watching the little person you’re becoming.
I love you, my sweet, sweet boy.
Love,
Mama
