That link you referenced is about a different theme – you can’t usually copy code from one theme to another. Try this thread for what you are trying to do:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-move-menu-below-header-image-in-twenty-twelve-theme?replies=40
Thank you very much. I thought that the link might be from a different theme, but when people don’t specify the theme they are referring to, it’s anybody’s guess. I will definitely try the thread you recommended, but first I need to know how to get the header image to show up. What am I doing wrong with the html? Here is a more complete excerpt from the header file in the child theme:
<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<h3 class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></h3>
<a href="#content">"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></a>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->
<?php if ( get_header_image() ) : ?>
<a href="http://www.marycwaters.com/">
<img class="header-image" width="940" height="244" alt="" src="http://69.89.31.194/~marycwat/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/01-keyboardhands-manuscript-hands-green2.jpg"></img>
<?php endif; ?>
</header><!-- #masthead -->
Thank you.

Look at that thread again – at the top of it, it says:
WordPress › Support » Themes and Templates
Yoko
move menu below banner (2 posts)
That “Yoko” is the theme.
What am I doing wrong with the html?
You did not move that piece of php code to the place described in the thread – you are only moving this part:
<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
<h3 class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></h3>
"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->
To just above this line:
</header><!-- #masthead -->
BTW, could you be sure to use the code buttons when posting code here?
Sorry, I didn’t know about the code button. I’ve posted my entire header file in pastebin. It’s at http://pastebin.com/RF0b8cbt. I haven’t moved the code around yet because I want to get the banner to show up first. I wonder if I have to reference the twentytwelve-child directory in the header file someplace. Thank you.

No, if you have a header.php file in the child theme folder, that’s the one the site uses. Try using this in the child theme header.php file:
<?php
/**
* The Header template for our theme
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
*/

BTW, do you have the child theme ACTIVE on your site?
Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Yes, I do have the child them ACTIVE on my site. The files I have for the theme are functions.php, header.php, style.css, and screenshot.png (the latter just an image that says Twenty Twelve Child Theme). I used the text you gave me for the header file and the banner still doesn’t show up. The link to my site is marywaters.com
Wait – I just checked and noticed that the header I had selected somehow “fell off” so I have to re-select it. M
You solved the problem! The header shows up and the menu is beneath it. I am very appreciative.
