Off he goes

Henry and I are in Florida enjoying the sun (and sweltering, miserable heat) while Jason is stuck in Tennessee working.  I know, it isn't really fair.  In addition to stealing his baby and running off to Florida to play in the water and visit my family, Henry has started walking.  Yes, I left the state with the baby for a vacation and he started walking.  I feel a bit like a jerk.  Jason is missing out a big milestone.  I think it might be a while before Henry and I consider taking a little jaunt without daddy.  Since, I left Jason to work and tackle home improvement projects while I float in the pool I figured the least I could do is post a video of little Henry walking.  He starts by showing off his funny crawl and then he is up and off to explore.  I have a feeling that it is only going to take him a day or two more to master the art of running.

It still blows my mind to see him walking.  I remember looking at him when he was so tiny, like in this video, and trying to imagine him walking.  It was almost impossible to visualize.  Now, a year later, I am having the opposite problem.  Was he really that small?  Did I really get that excited when he yawned?  Everyone always told me "babies grow up so fast." While I knew statement to be fact the magnitude of it didn't resonate until he started walking.  Walking.  Wasn't he just learning to roll over yesterday?  I find myself squeezing him even more than normal.  I am trying to savory the last few moments I have with him as a baby.  I love that he is growing up and I am not one of those parents who bemoans that fact that baby's grow up but that doesn't mean I won't miss sweet baby cuddles.  Although, I have to admit I am looking foward to all the fun we can have once we gets walking down.

Since this is one of those obnoxious post in which and ramble about how cute my baby is, I am just going to go all out with the gratuitous gloating and post this video too. This is Henry and Tessa chatting it up.

Once again, Jason I  love you and I am so sorry for taking your sweet baby away.  We are off to enjoy Florida and hope that we get another lovely sunset like this to look at.

Wish you were here.
