beautiful baby

we had some professional pictures made by our friend and talented photographer, Jessica Bowman. the link to her website is listed on our "links" list, but it is http://www.photographyjb.com/

there are a lot of pictures so be sure to scroll down . . . and down . . . and down.

we had these taken when Sue was visiting so she was able to get in the pictuers as well! Enjoy. Oh, and as of yesterday, Henry is up to 10 pounds 5 ounces. The boy can eat I tell you! :)

story time

Henry was somewhat interested in Corduroy's New Pocket.

a great big yawn . . .

thanks Mrs. Claudia for the cute shirt from white flowers!


Gary and I had our first "date night" since Henry's birth. Gary's Dad (Papa) kept Henry while we went to dinner to celebrate Gary's birthday and later met up with some friends. It was a nice evening but weird to be away from Mr. H.
Gary caught a picture of Mother and Baby snoozing. Apparently, we both like to sleep with our mouths wide open.

asleep and awake

Went for a walk outside today . . . weather was so nice! I never had a big sweet tooth or any cravings during pregnancy. Now that it's over, my old sweet tooth is back! So, my new rule is that if I am to have some type of sweet treat, I have to walk there to get it. Fortunately, we live pretty close to TCBY and Brusters, ha ha.
Henry was dressed in some "older" looking clothes today; honestly, I'm not quite sure how much I liked it.

I do love these golf socks that Jessica sent us-thanks, Jess! All he needs now are some new balance tennis shoes, croakies, a black lab and some long hair and he would be all set to enter the Auburn fraternity scene (not that we are encouraging or discouraging this).

surprise!

I am still in shock. Last Friday our friend Peyton was supposed to come over for lunch. When there was a knock on the door I naturally thought it was Peyton. However, to my utter shock and surprise, it was SUE! She had a bow on top of her head and was trying to video my reaction. She flew down for my birthday and to meet little Henry.

What a wonderful, wonderful surprise!

Auntie Sue made a looonnngggg trip to see our little bundle



Mom, Dad and my brother, Brock, also came down to visit on my birthday (but we knew they were coming, no surprise-ha!). Uncle Brock was finally able to meet HDV-he looks like a natural holding Henry eh? I must say this may have been the best birthday yet!
