It's Birthday week in the Henderson family! Today's birthday belongs to Paw! Happy Birthday Paw!

I'm so happy it's Paw's birthday!

Today Robert went Black Friday shopping with his Daddy. Mommy was very happy, because she got to sleep. Then they came home and the whole family went to Sears to look for holiday village pieces, and then we decided to go to Toys-R-Us (big mistake). We had one thing we wanted to get, but when we realized the line was wrapped ALL THE WAY around the store (no lie, there were arrows on the floor telling people which way to queue), we put our one thing down and left. It'll most likely be there next week.

I don't want to be happy!

We told Robert to have a happy Thanksgiving, and this is what he had to say. Pretty accurate, actually. He was really good most of the day (he even took a 2.5 hour nap early this afternoon), but when we sat down to eat, he decided he was done being happy, and wanted to scream and be fussy the rest of the afternoon/night.

Overall though, we had a good day. We had fun cooking (Joab helped!) and watching football. For our Turkey Day, we didn't have turkey at all, but Cornish game hens. For sides, we had macaroni and cheese, dressing, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, and rolls. Robert had sweet potatoes and corn.

Our spread!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It looks like I caught him at the beginning of "happy". Today is Aunt Bekkah's birthday, yay! Hope it's a good one!



We took Robert to the doctor this morning after his fever spiked to 103.8 last night. This morning it was down to 101.7, and by the time we got to the doctor, he didn't have a fever. It turns out that not only does he have a sinus infection, he also has an ear infection. Poor boy. The doctor prescribed him amoxicillin. She said she was faxing it right then, but when we got to the pharmacy an hour and a half later, they hadn't even received it yet. I'm a tad irritated, especially since I was told the nurse would be back by two, and it's now three and I still haven't heard anything.

We'll just say that face is because he's singing.

Today is Papa's birthday. Papa is Mommy's daddy. He's turning, well, he's turning a year older :). Happy Birthday Papa!


On a not so happy note, Robert is sick. For the very first time in his life, he's got a fever and a runny nose. He's been sneezing and coughing a little, but I'm pretty sure that's from drainage. If I had to guess, he's working on a sinus infection. He's handling it pretty well though. He's a little bit fussier than normal and is fighting sleep much more than usual, but other than that, he's been pretty happy. Here's to hoping he gets to feeling better soon!

Oh, you've got a camera?

I think I'll just mosey on over.

I'm gonna get the camera!!

NOM NOM NOM

Where's the baby? I swore he was in this picture.

It's almost impossible to get him to sit still long enough to take a picture. As soon as he sees me take out the camera, he's after me. The picture above is the one picture out of fifteen or so that I took last night that has him sitting.

This is what he does whenever we put him in the playpen. It's pretty hilarious.

I finally, finally got a video of him crawling! The amazing thing is that he saw the camera and crawled towards me anyway!

At first, we thought Robert was practicing kissing. Turns out he was eating the wall, as evidenced by the burp at the end.

He doesn't do it much in this video, but Robert is crawling! He doesn't seem to want to do it much when I have the video camera out. Anyway, today is "laugh-every-time-Mommy-looks-at-me" day, which is hilarious. Even Robert thinks so when he watches the videos!

 

Yay!

 And last, but certainly not least, I fail at birthdays! Yesterday was Aunt Katie's birthday, and we didn't get the picture up for her. Robert was very insistent today however, so here it is!

I am seven months old!

I wonder what's out there.

 Robert is seven months old! Yesterday. I'm a day late, but I posted pictures the day before and the day after, does that make up for it? We went to the doctor this morning so that he could get the second half of his flu shot, and would you believe that he didn't cry one bit! Not one little sound. I didn't even know she'd given him the shot.

Solids are going really well. So far the clear favorite is apples, but he's pretty fond of the sweet potatoes and corn. He likes green beans and squash ok. He's finally rolling over like a champ, from back to front anyway. He can roll front to back, he just prefers not to. He can click his tongue, and thinks it's hilarious when Mommy does it. He can spin in circles when he's sitting, and he's able to inch across the floor on his stomach. He'll be crawling soon, he's already able to take a few "steps" when he's on all fours. He tries to chase Mommy, and Daddy, and Jake, when we walk away, but can't quite and it frustrates him. He likes talking to people on the phone, but somehow always manages to hang up on them. His favorite noises to make are screeching and raspberries, with laughing coming in a close third!
