Henry Update:


Henry is now 5 ½ months old.  Last night he rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time.  He was so angry about it.  He hates being on his tummy.  I thought it was a fluke but he rolled over to his tummy again today. 

Henry has started eating a wide variety of baby food.  So far he has had sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, peas, bananas, prunes, peaches, and pears.  He hasn’t even been eating baby cereal lately because he loves the regular food so much.

Henry is still quite fussy and loves to be held.  It will probably always be that way.  He loves to watch the other kids play and is very quiet when he’s happy.  When left alone during happy times that when he starts chattering away.  Around a crowd... he falls silent. 

I still have to schedule his 6 month well baby appointment.  We are still trying to find a time that won’t waste a whole day and will work around Henry’s schedule.  He really doesn’t like things to be different. 

Recently I purchased “the fussy baby” book by William and Martha sears.  It has helped deal with Henry’s neediness.  It doesn’t make his fussiness stop but it helps me understand how he feels and is also reassuring knowing that other moms have been in the same place.
