hi, everyone!

Cindy took this photo on her phone today. Sooooo cute!

At the pool! (but not our pool...)

We went to Henry's friend Una's pool which was really fun! They have a real kids' pool there and the water was JUST the right temperature! Here are some pictures. Henry enjoyed the water and splashed around.

Nap mat

Here are some pictures of Henry on his nap mat that Aisha made for him. He plays on it every day and (sometimes) sleeps on it. (We're working on the sleeping part.)

Henry in his BIG BOY crib!

We had to put the crib down to its lower setting since Henry is starting to sit up and stand...it's only a matter of time until he is pulling himself up in it. Here he is right after we put it down and let him test it out!

Hey! Get me out of this prison!!

At play:

On Coco's old walker!

sometimes things get frustrating so i resort to this:

Henry wants to do this ALL DAY LONG.

After awhile, he topples over, recovers and starts all over again. It's gonna be a LOOOOONG day for Mommy!

another "why buy toys?" post...

Henry plays the guitar!

...and a video!

Mother's Day at Dubai Aquarium!

We went through the tunnel at the aquarium at Dubai Mall--we saw lots of sharks and rays and fish of all kinds! After that, we went upstairs to the Underwater Zoo, which had lots of cool fish AND penguins and otters and stuff! It was a great day. Henry really enjoyed himself.
