Henry took a few practice steps a few times, but then didn’t seem interested in walking for about a week. One day, right after David got home from work, Henry stood up and just started walking all over! He walked and walked and walked for about 10 minutes. Then took a break to lay down on his belly for a few minutes, then was back up and walking again! He is now all over the place. He can walk really well and is now trying to run. He gets a few steps into running, and then falls down. Any day now I’m sure!

Henry has 11 teeth! Top front 4, bottom front 4, 2 bottom molars, and 1 top molar. He still loves to play with food, but is now eating a TON! Sometimes he can clear a plate with as much food as I serve to myself. He loves everything, especially meat. He has never refused a food for good. Sometimes he’ll refuse a food, then a few minutes later he’ll be scarfing it down.
