Pool time!!!! Week 41

Henry and his mama, with infant girlfriend Kyra and her mama, Ashley Albers

On Saturday, Grandpa and Grandma Bogart were back in town for a high school graduation. Unfortunately, Henry was extremely tired that day, sleeping all but maybe 5hrs. of the day! But he did get to spend some quality time with them, which was great! We all went to church on Sunday, but Henry was not into sitting still (as I assume no kid is when they are between the ages of 9 months and 10 years :) ), so Reggie and Henry had to hang out in the basement where he could crawl around and play with his toys.

On Monday, we all packed up (including Bella) and went to the Payne family pool. The water was still very cold, but Henry didn't seem to mind. The kid just loves to splash! Also, I think he was very interested in showing Jenni his swimming skills he learned from his lessons at the Y. After playing on the step of the pool for awhile, Jenni's mom took him inside to dry off and to change. However, Henry wasn't finished. After coming back outside a bit later, he wanted back into the pool. So, Laura stripped him completely down and let him swim around in the water. For legal purposes, no naked baby pictures were taken of this event :)

The first dip - feels just right!

Longing to get back out to the pool........

.........so I'm swimming naked now!!!!!!

Developmentally, Henry continues to be very interested in the dishwasher, and particularly the utensil holder. He continually grabs for them. You pick him up and move him to the other side of the room, and he is so fast, he is back at the utensil holder immediately! Additionally, he is starting to learn how to open drawers. When we get ready in the morning, Henry has started being really interested in opening the bottom drawer of our bathroom vanity. Laura keeps her makeup in there, so for a number of reasons we don't want him in there! Also, this week we got rid of the baby bathtub. Henry is loving all the room, as he can now play with a lot more toys!

Big boy bathtime!
