Happy Birthday Dad! Last night we had a little dinner at our house for my dad's bday. It was a nice night with the cool rain and the whole family.

Henry baby isn't feeling good these last couple days. He's got a bad cough and runny nose. Of couse, being Henry, he still smiles and smiles. He's waking up a few times in the middle of the night and doesn't really even want to eat, just wants to be cuddled.. we slept for about an hour together in his room on the rocking chair, and the minute I put him in his crib he woke up crying.. I let him cry it out for a few minutes and he fell back asleep. No fever.. so that is good. We'll see how today goes with his cough and hopefully he'll be better soon! I think he's starting to teeth again, so that may be the culprit-- those upper two teeth must hurt a lot more than than the bottoms. did.. poor guy.

What a flirt

We took Henry to get his 6 month pictures yesterday. He slept on the way there, then he woke up & we took his clothes off and started snapping pics. He woke right up and we were laughing so hard because Henry was almost posing for the camera. The photographer, Jess, just laughed and said he was flirting with her. He would giggle and smile and always look right at her-- even sat still! What a good kid. He lasted about 15-20 minutes and then he realized he was hungry- so we took a quick break to eat and then took more pictures for another 15 mins or so. He was a little more squirmy then, but still did great. I can't wait to see how they turned out and what Jess does to them-- she's such a great photographer! She does Axel Rapp's pictures too- she has a huge 20x20 board of his picture hanging up- she said it makes her smile! That cute kid would make anyone smile! So Henry's pictures should be up online in about a week to check them out - they are only posted online for 7 days too.

Some new fun- or trouble!

Henry was crawling/scootching so fast his pants were coming off!




Henry has figured out how to go up the step from the living room into the kitchen- that's all he wants to do now! He goes right for the kitchen chairs too- looks like fun Henry!

Saturday afternoon I put Henry in his crib for a few minutes so I could do something upstairs- I walked in and look at him! He now pulls himself up very pretty well! The little terd- he did this last night at bed time too. Guess we have to lower the mattress! I love his expression though- he's like hello - come get me!


Here is Henry figuring out how to get up the step-- took him a while and with MUCH determination- he did it! Now I have to start cleaning my kitchen floors better!


Henry is almost crawling- a real crawl- up on his hands and knee's! The daycare thought he would over the weekend- he's soo close. He goes up to his knees and takes one stride then back to the belly. I bet in the next couple days he'll be really crawiling- then next is walking-- eek!

Growing so much

Henry is growing so much. He's starting to now eat Breakfast and Lunch at daycare! He eats some cereal and fruit in the morning and then again in the afternoon - along with his bottles. Then at night we have cereal with some veggies. He's such a good eater! He's sleeping better now too. Knock on wood- three nights in a row now he's slept through the night. The past week or two he's been getting up once in the middle of the night to eat, so maybe the extra cereal is working!

We have Henry's 6 month photo's scheduled for Tuesday. We're taking him to the lady that took my maternity (belly) photo's...she does such a good job, I'm already excited to see them! : )

Happy Friday and Go VIKES on Sunday!

Vikings

Did you really think I'd let Monday night Vikings football go without getting Henry all duded up!? I sent him to daycare in this outfit and a Vikings coat-- he came home in a different outfit (pee'd through it) so we quick washed/dryed it and put it on again for the football party!


Happy Birthday yesterday to Brady! He turned 4 and we had a nice little party for him at my mom and dad's house... he got great toys - lots of dinosaur stuff of course! : ) Happy Birthday Brady!

6 months old!

Happy half a year old to Henry baby (he was 6 months on Sunday)! 6 months just flew by. He's so sweet. I have to make his 6 month dr appt still so we can get an update on his stats... last I checked at home he was 18lbs, I'm sure he'll be 19 or 20 by the time we go to the dr. Just about time for the next car seat (ours is up to 22lbs).
Just the last couple days we noticed him getting up on his knees and rocking back and forth-- I think he'll be crawling soon-- he's master at scooching. He's been scootching quite a while now and does it at lightening speed and can get just about anywhere!
Grandma Pam watched Henry Saturday night and I think she got him to learn to clap a little bit. We work on it with patty cake, but he's starting to do it more and more now. Last night he also started pulling himself up on the coffee table downstairs- it's so fun to watch.

Henry loves to crawl under the exersaucer-- we'll have to get the kid a jungle gym! I love this picture-it actually looks like he has hair in this one too! My baldy-- bald is beautiful! : )

Playing with his toys..

I tried to get him scooching around-this was right before bed, so he wasn't his normal self. I don't think he could figure out what he wanted to do

some new pics

We had a fun and busy week this past week- This is Henry trying the sippy cup for the first time! He did great. The daycare says he's started to hold his own bottles, so we thought we should try the sippy!

Daddy and Henry hanging out

Saturday night I babysat my nephew Brady - he'll be 4 next week. Here he is being funny sitting in Henry's bumbo seat! Silly Brady!

Henry playing around

Henry at his first trip to the zoo- can't tell but I think the monkey's are in the background.

Getting Grandma kisses!

Sitting on the turtle with Aunt Jenae and cousin Landon and Talon

These ones are from my phone, so they are a little fuzzy. After the zoo (and a nap for Henry) we went out to eat to House of Coates. Henry sat in the big boy high chair for the first time! He did great!



This was the nap before out to eat-- what a life! He was napping on my lap with the nice soft pillow!

Just playing! I think he looks a lot like me in this pic below.



All for now-- Henry turns 6 months on Sunday-- wholy cow! I can't believe he'll be half a year old already!
