the pickles: Henry's Thanksgiving Video Extravaganza

Here's a special holiday treat for all of Henry's blog-followers: Henry in motion.

Here are a few short videos showcasing some of Henry's new skills and adventures.

And for good measure, we've thrown in a few still pics too, so you can see what he's been up to this Thanksgiving.

First, here's the boy employing cuteness tactics to get what he wants. Not getting pizza when you ask? Try blowing kisses.

Next, we see Henry trying to fill Dad's shoes. With mixed results.

Henry likes to walk on his own now. No hand-holding, no directions. He just wants to go. However, he has to keep reminding himself where he's going, by repeating the mantra "This way. This way. This way." Somewhere in there, there's a lesson for all of us.

Henry has discovered those little truck ride things you see out side of every grocery store. Here he is, piloting the "Circus Convoy" machine outside of Randall's.

Henry got an early Christmas present this year in the form of a nifty red wagon. On one of our recent wagon rides, the boy discovered the joys of keeping his hands warm in the pockets of his jacket. He also discovered that when everyone is looking at the cute baby, nobody is paying attention to oncoming traffic.

Lastly, Henry has learned how to say "Cheese" for the camera. Here, after destroying a sand castle, he suddenly discovers that he may be being filmed, and turns on the camera smile.
