We started out the Christmas Holiday by going down to North Palm Beach to have an early Christmas with the Thillmans, Hickeys and a brief visit with Aunt Mary Keller. We enjoyed a lobster feast, complete with Uncle Bill eating the entire lobster (minus the shell of course)! Henry started the evening off by tearing into the gifts...we could hardly contain him from the shiny paper, bows, boxes, and bags. It really didn't matter to him what was in the package, he was perfectly content trying to eat the wrapping paper.
On Christmas night we took Henry on his first airplane ride to Chattanooga. He had a BLAST on the airplane...bouncing back and forth the whole time between Robert and I. We had so much fun while we were there. We went to the Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City, and got to have a lot of fun family time. Sandra and Jim (Grandmommie and Granddaddy) got Robert and I several Chattanooga area restaurant gift cards so that we could go out on dates...I think they just wanted to kick us out so they could have Henry! We also enjoyed spending time with Aunt Whitney and her fiance Uncle Zach.
Since we've been back, we've been trying to reorganize the house and enjoy our time together. (Will the house really ever be organized)?? Henry turned 9 months old this week and it seems like he has had all sorts of cognitive milestones all at once. He is clapping, sort of waving, and making all sorts of new vowel sounds. He crawls like a maniac, walks himself along all the furniture, and dances when he hears music. He and I enjoy going to our 'doodlebug' playdates and are enjoying our Brevard Zoo pass from Grammy and Grandpa. We hope that everyone is having a happy and healthy 2012!!
Love the Clarks
