What a wonderful 7th month!!

Henry and his parents had quite the 7th month!!
It started out in LA with the Silk family reunion! Many fun days seeing aunts, uncles, cousins, playing at the beach, sleeping/strolling on the board walk, and meeting Nick and Dave.

Henry also got in his first hike near Mt Sutton. He ate his first food of sweet potatoes, although he prefers pears. He also had his first rides on the swing. And he started to clap his hands!

I had my first Mother's Day which was lovely, thanks to my sweet brown eyed boys.

We were also visited by many lovely and very missed people: Kiren & Miriam, Grandma & Grandpa, and Uncle Christian, Aunt Natasha and cousin Mila! What a wonderful May!! We can't wait to see what the summer brings!

Henry 1/2 of a year

Henry at 5 months

Henry is now 5 months! This month Henry rolled by himself once and rolls all the time with a little help from Mama or Papa. You can feel a few teeth starting to come in. And he is in love with sitting up. He loves showing off his core strength by pulling up as you grab his hands. He continues to love tummy time and may earn the title of tummy champion of the East. He spent time a lot of time with older kids including Matt's colleagues kids, Hera and Davos, and our friend Jess's girls. We're pretty sure he prefers their company to ours. We visited the Montreal Biodome with our friend Jess and her 2 girls, Kaitlyn and Holly. Kaitlyn sang him songs everyday which he loved. He celebrated spring with a St Patrick's Day party and Easter with Grandma and Grandpa Harsh. He also visited a few cabana de sucres (sugar shacks) which are a Montreal mainstay. Although it snowed 12 inches on the first day of spring, we were able to have a picnic lunch on a cool Easter day. Henry's parents had their first date without Henry in tow, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa. He loves to be part of the party and prefers to be awake at all hours rather than sleeping.  Up next for Henry is food! And a visit to Los Angeles-stay tuned:)

Henry 5 Months

Henry, 4 mois

Socially, Henry had a more chill month leading up to his 4 month birthday. However, developmentally he's now doing all sorts of new things. He is now grabbing, holding, and swinging toys. He loves tummy time. He can be quite chatty. He's working on his roll overs and sitting up. And even grabbing while sitting up (with support from Matt). He is far more alert and aware and is really fun:) And also makes sleeping a bit tougher since he likes to party. He had 2 good follow up visits with the occupational therapist and the neonatal clinic, who will continue to follow him. He said good bye to his first ever girlfriend, Eilidh, who moved to London. And hello to Rose who shares his Halloween birthday and other babies in the neighborhood through our parent group. Click on his picture below to see his pics leading up to his 4 month birthday today.
