In one month, two more teeth have decided to poke through - up to 7 total teeth. Still not exactly sure which teeth they are - maybe the first year molars?
In preparation of our trip at the end of last month we re-instituted "cry it out" at bedtime in hopes he would develop better sleep habits and not wake up our neighbors at the hotel. Now, nearly a month of using this method it is clear Henry needs to cry to put himself to sleep. The 'worst' night had him crying for roughly 30 minutes (I did go in after 20 for a quick reassurance). For the most part he will fall asleep within 10 minutes. He is sleeping better all night and, sadly, if he wakes up we just turn off the monitor and wait for him to put him to sleep. I do not encourage this method but nothing else seems to work.
Henry has made one small step in the potty training progress. He has told me is his poopy twice in the last month. He also likes to sit (fully clothed) on the potty and say "peee."
Henry is now officially a Toddler as he moved up to the Toddler 1 room at daycare. The morning drop-offs are not the smoothest but I know he is fine within minutes. He is starting to hold his own a little bit and not get 'bullied' by the older kids in his room - I've even seen him push Ralph a few times as he tries to stand his ground. The other week at the dinner table he clasped his hands to show us he was ready to pray so we prayed . .and then he clapped when we were done.
His vocabulary is slowly progressing. If you listen close enough and know the context you might actually hear him utter a simple sentence. Milk, water, rock, bubbles, ball, and mommy are more clearly understood. He does scream when he gets excited about something. He knows how to turn his upper lip and give a good pout.
Henry likes to pretend to feed some of the stuffed animals. Our little daredevil also likes to get on and sometimes stand on things he is not suppose - Thomas the Train table, boxes, chairs, etc. He likes to put his head on the floor - as if he is preparing to do a somersault - and thinks it is fun when someone helps him roll over.
Henry is wearing size 12 mo shorts and 18 month tops.
Yesterday we were given the all clear to stop the nightly breathing treatments and administering singular until September, unless Henry comes down with an upper respiratory infection or cold. We've been doing the breathing treatments since early May with the exception of maybe three days where we just ran out of time because we got home late. So nice the last two nights to not give a treatment and do something else a little more fun during the time we had been doing treatments. In September we'll visit the asthma/allergy doc again for a plan going into fall/winter.
