First Consonant

Henry's language skills have reached an important milestone. Over the past few days he started saying, "DAH-DAH-DAH ..." There might also be a "GAH" in there, but it is difficult to discern. Life would be difficult without being able to pronounce consonants!

I searched some coin last night while he slept. 5,000 hand rolled pennies yielded thirty-four Wheats, thirty-three Canadians, eighteen US dimes, one Euro 2¢, and one Barbados 1¢. Oddly, one roll of the pennies had fifteen dimes in it! The Wheats had some good variety:

1917S, 1936, 1941(2), 1942(2), 1944(4), 1944D, 1945(3), 1945S, 1946, 1949D(2), 1950D, 1951, 1951D, 1953, 1953D, 1956, 1956D(4), 1957D(4), 1958(2), 1958D(3)

The 1917S is only the second I've found. The first one I had to go all the way to the west coast to find!

Found: 4 pennies (at Home Depot)

Perhaps Henry's a Mungo Jerry fan?

Is time going fast or slow? Just reading your blog it seems like just yesterday you were trying to capture his first smile.

Dude you're making my biological clock tick, wait to guys have one?
