I'd rather stand

Our "little" boy is 6 weeks old today! I am fully aware that I have the shortest torso known to man, but I think Henry's height has something to do with it too.



There are moments during the day with Henry that I think he is channeling Stewie from Family Guy. Here is one of those moments.


I went to put him into the bouncy seat and he planted his feet at the base and locked his knees. He then flashed me the expression you see in the photo. I started laughing and by the time I ran back with the camera the strength in his legs was slowly giving out, so he not as upright as he was at first. I feel like he thinks the car seat is demoralizing.

He still loves swatting at the blue elephant in the play palace, and he regularly talks to the airplanes flying over his crib (airplane mobile), he just started noticing the bird mobile above his changing table (it's several feet above the table) he smiles and stares at it while we change him. Another favorite of Henry's is pop music. I hold him out and dance while he pumps his arm. I am not kidding, sometimes I feel like it matches the beat perfectly! Joe tried to get a video of him doing it, but as is usually goes... by the time you grab the camera, the moment has passed.
