So much good food.
In lieu of maple syrup, I’ve been using brown rice syrup, and it’s so much better! You get that moist, yummy texture, but without the sting-my-teeth sweetness.
Chips while working… And a few pieces of chocolate.
And for lunch: leftover squash and a brown rice, egg, arugula, onion, tomato, and soy chorizo stir-fry. This was REALLY delicious.
I wish there were leftovers!
And now – a little Henry video. I filmed this yesterday in the car (we were parked outside a store). He had just woken up from a nap and experienced every baby emotion in 45-second time frame. He is smiley, babbling, laughing, confused, scared (don’t know of what!), upset, hungry, and finally satisfied. All in under a minute.
And I thought I was temperamental. ![]()

lol, that frowny face he makes is too cute/funny!
it’s just SO frowny!
That was so funny. Poor Henry. Glad the bottle did the trick! Silly boy.
the baba always does the trick!
What IS with the frowny/cry face they have when they wake up? Every time! LOL. So cute!
sleep is awesome!
He is too cute!!
Brown rice syrup sounds like something I might like – where do they sell it? Trader Joe’s?
No they don’t have it at TJs but they do at WF.
Love it!!! Henry is so cute!!!!!
So funny! He is looking more and more like a toddler. Can’t believe it.
That video makes me really glad that my husband and I went off HBC this month
Crack me up!
haha That is a great video! He’s such a cutie!
Oh my gosh, I swear Henry is one of the cutest and most expressive little babies ever! I love his laugh and his sad face, so sweet!
I’m not sure if you’re familiar with this issue, but I’ve cut out brown rice and brown rice syrup specifically (I don’t even buy products made w/brown rice syrup anymore) because of the scary-high levels of arsenic:

It’s scary because they say brown rice (rather than white rice), and domestic brown rice and rice products are the worst offenders. You may want to try maple syrup again!
Aw! Little Henry is growing up so fast!
Hahaha that was a quick switch to upset!!!
Adorable!
That video of Henry is possible the cutest and funniest thing EVER!
That is adorable. What a cutie!! And your food looks delicious as always! Interesting about the brown rice syrup. Is there a health difference between that any maple? Taste difference?
Too cute! Mmmm I MUST try BRS on my waffles tomorrow!!
Aww so cute!! If I’m woken up from a nap, I think I probably have a similar frown/crying expression on my face too!
Oh gosh that’s just adorable. I love your Henry videos!!!
Hey, I’m from maple syrup country, and it’s never too sweet
What kind were you using?
I love that video!
Wouldn’t get too into the brown rice syrup, it’s a source of arsenic – rice absorbs arsenic from soil (in very small amounts) but the concentration in brown rice syrup is much higher because of the way it’s made.
Whoops just saw someone else already mentioned this (another Claire, incidentally)
Henry is the BEST! I love this video — thanks for sharing!
That video is epic . . . That is all
Love that Henry is taking on such a personality! These videos are great! Hope you post more.
omg hillaaaaaaarious. the lower lip!!!
Okay, you win. Babies melt my heart every single time. I’m done for the night
This video totally made my day. Also, can we be friends in real life? Ha.
Okay, I’m totally not even a baby person (hell, I don’t even really like kids) but that video was freakin precious! Especially his sobby lip just before he cried, and then that total “ahh, now I’m good” face when he got his bottle. Too cute!
Hehehehehe! I watched that video several times because it cracked me up so much!! Oh the life of a baby… it’s tough, tough I tell ya
I agree with the others – Henry really is the cutest little baby I’ve seen!!
That is quite a lip on that sad face!
