Tonight dad is caucusing

...and I am at home with a sleeping Henry. I wish I could caucus too but didn't want to get a sitter for an unknown amount of time. It's been two hours already...geesh. Long enough for me to think about all the cool things Henry can do now.

He can:

• Pass a ball back to you by rolling it on the floor, or throwing it to you.
• Eat a whole pear or peach, unassisted...like we do. It's VERY messy but cute. It requires both of his hands (obviously) and takes about 45 minutes. I have video...will post eventually.
• Laugh like crazy...especially at daddy. Mommy's not as funny, apparently.
  
• Pull himself up and then bounce up and down and sway
• Clap
• Bang stuff together (even little cheerios, which is so cute)
• Play games. His favorite is he touches you in the face with a toy, pacifier, food item etc. and you are expected to react in the same way you would if you were in a head-on collision. This gets lots of laughs and goes on indefinitely until you get tired of falling over and saying "boiiiiing!"
• Drink from a cup
• Say mama, dada, baba, ghee (kitty), and more recently appa (apple) and unk (uncle)
• Walk if you hold his hands
• Wave
• Understands the signs Kitty, all finished, water and possibly "more" and "milk"
• Understands (seems to) the words: no, mommy, daddy and daddy's home, Henry, Kitty, water, finished and I love you so much I could eat you. (okay, maybe not that one).
