The Robiltons

Dear Henry,
It feels like just yesterday that we wrote about the six-month milestone! The days are passing more and more quickly. Over the past month we have introduced many new foods to you. You have tried and enjoyed all types of fruits and vegetables (including avocado!). You haven't rejected anything, except for your cereal when it hasn't been mixed with any fruits or veggies. We have been renovating the basement this month, and the house seems filled with workers. They don't bother you a bit. You notice them, and their voices and the sounds that they make, but remarkably they haven't disturbed any of your naps. A new part of our routine is naked playtime, which we do at night right before your bath. We strip you down and put you on the rug in your room, and you shimmy, roll and scooch around. You will be even more mobile soon! You recognize and respond (sometimes) to your name. We play a new game with you - we ask, "where's Henry?" and we look around everywhere except your face, and wait for you to make a sound to catch our attention, and then we make eye contact with you. You break into big smiles when we lift you up from your change table - and you are still very busy surveying your surroundings.
