2005-May-Dec

Henry's first airplane ride was to San Diego, in May 2005 at 6 months of age.

He had a groovy time at the San Diego Zoo.

He dug on the fishies.

From then on, it was about all we could do to keep up with his skyrocketing aptitudes for life.

For example, his eating skills
were going nuts.

His playing ability had grown tremendously... from laying on his back and staring up, to sitting in his "play circle" and staring... somewhere.

And let's not forget that he was showing great potential as a
laundry basket driver:

Not to mention as some kind of scientific-observationy guy

And of course, he was learning the art of sleeping in late from a pro.

Over the summer and into the fall, he met some of his out-of-town relatives.

But enough about his cousins!

Childhood is about skills acquisition!

Henry continued to develop his talents as an eater,

A crawler,

and a driver.

Somehow, in spite of all the achievement pressure from his parents, Henry made it to his first birthday.

He even seemed

to be having

a pretty good time.
