Good times for the g-unit

Henry and I have had a very nice week, with lots of fun activities. On Tuesday, we went to our first "Baby and Me" story time at the local library. Henry was one of the youngest there, but he did seem to enjoy it. The story time involved lots of songs and movement, two books, some parachute play, and bubbles. Ever the sensitive baby, Henry got a little spooked by the parachute play when bells were placed on top of the parachute and jingled with the kids' movements. The kind librarian swiftly modified the activity to a more quiet version of play. Ahh, Henry. Wednesday included a trip to play with my friend Lauren and her son Oliver. Henry can't keep up with Oliver just yet, but I'm sure he'll have a blast chasing after him as soon as he can. In the meantime, I was happy to have some time with Lauren, and Henry seemed to have fun watching Oliver and having some cute interactions with him. Today Henry had a special visit from his grampa Gemborys while I had a doctor's appointment. It sounded like Henry tried to convince grampa that it was okay to sample a new variation on one of his favorite delicacies--shoes and shoelaces--but grampa didn't fall for it. Afterwards, Henry and I jaunted off to the local Y for some swim time. Our class was canceled, but the instructor said we could go and swim without her, so we met our mom/baby buddies there and splashed around for a while.

Before meeting up with Lauren on Wednesday, Henry and I enjoyed a very special breakfast with Brian. Brian was home for the morning before going on a company golf outing, so we seized the opportunity to make a trip to one of our favorite local diners. Henry sat like a big boy in a high chair, which we found adorable. Even more so when the waitress brought over a little hat for Henry to wear.


Henry was apparently very hungry at breakfast. When his daddy tried showing him what fun it is to color, Henry became quite excited...to eat the crayon.




Here's Henry's assessment of the new gate on the playroom. I think it goes something like "come on, mom, don't fence me in."

And another cute video of Henry chatting.
