week 17

This a bit more on time, yet still a day late. Not the best smile but we have trouble getting him to smile and be facing the camera. Ahhh the perils of parenthood.

week 16.75

Oops, didn't do a good job of getting week 16. Here it is a week late and the picture was taken late too, but at least a few days before week 17!

One BUSY weekend!

This weekend we headed to Indiana for Derek's 10 year college reunion and to visit family. Henry was able to stay with great aunt Dorothea and great uncle Ray, as well as have lunch with Derek's cousin Angie and her family. Unfortunately, we were lacking sleep and didn't take any pictures. On Sunday we headed south to visit more family. Henry was able to meet his namesake great grandpa Henry (and grandma Francis too). He also met many other relatives who were happy to see him for the first time. It was a fun and busy weekend with many hours of driving. Amazingly, with all the moving around and gatherings and being passed around Henry did very well and slept probably better than we did. Here are just a few pictures with the great grandparents!

Week 15

So this week we're finally posting on the correct day AND we have our first picture of Henry smiling!

Fun with the Bumbo Seat

Here's Henry in his Bumbo seat just checking out his surroundings.

Late 14 week pictures

Here are the 14 week pictures. We took them on Friday but forgot to post. The first is the official picture but the second shows that he was starting to smile but unfortunately, the task of getting him to smile and taking the picture made for cutting off the edge of his face. Oh well. Enjoy!

Bedtime for H

We've finally figured out that Henry needs to go to bed early each night, really early. We used to think that the later he stayed up the longer he would sleep because he'd be tired. We would be wrong in that fact. Tonight he went to bed at 7:00 so we weren't able to get his weekly picture. However, I did get a picture of him and his Dad helping with his bedtime routine. I guess we'll get the weekly picture tomorrow.
