oh my cuteness

bath time!

look at this laid back fellow

henry goes to church . . . and toomers corner

I feel like I'm writing a children's book . . . "Henry goes to church" or "Henry's first bath" or "Henry's big adventure." argh. I'll try and stop that.

Anywho, we went to church for the first time with Henry this past Sunday. It was a little chaotic at the nursery but he did just fine.

after church we went to Toomers for lunch. Gary was very proud to have him on the famous corner!

Snow Angel

I just love how he sleeps with his arms up!


Snow twice in one winter in Auburn?! Inconceiveable!


Henry made his first appearance at Mellow Mushroom Friday night . . .
And later fell asleep in this "praying" pose.

the week in pictures

Henry has had a busy week this week - lots of visitors and outings. He is holding his head up very well and his legs are getting stronger and stronger. He is smiling a lot these days. He is also really studying his surroundings and is very alert. And, he has figured out he likes to be held . . . a lot!

little guy on a big couch . . .
he seems to enjoy his activity mat and sometimes prefers to sit up and check things out rather than lay on his back.

sheep feet!

I was trying to catch a smile . . .

henry has several keepers. yesterday during his morning nap it was savannah. it's really sweet to see the dogs be protective of their brother. wherever henry sleeps, you can count on finding one of the dogs curled up at his feet. I am extremely impressed with how they have taken to him! it took a little time but they are doing so well.

thanks to gary's mom for henry's adorable jogging suit! as you can see, his jog really wore him out . . . and speaking of jogging, I'm back in the game. after 26 weeks of not running, I ran three times this week and I can't even tell you how wonderful it felt each time!

Gary's Mom and Jon came down for a visit!
this is what henry looks like each morning when we get him up-all swaddled and cute. that is, if he doesn't break out of his swaddle in the middle of the night! :)

weekend update

the weather was so nice this past weekend! henry and gary went to the football scrimmage on saturday morning (yes, henry has now been to jordan hare), we celebrated Cole's second birthday, and went for a walk out at chewacla state park on sunday afternoon with my sister and her family.

dinner time

this is the scene at our house every day around 4-5pm . . . dinner time for the doggles. some people may find all the craziness annoying-we love it!

bricks and shelby enjoying the nice weather

what a goof!
shelby, so picturesque . . . just before chasing the weimeraners that live behind us

no more newborn diapers

henry has grown out of his newborn diapers

bundled up in the very first item we bought for him . . . he was happy one minute and mad the next!

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! :)
