Still "trying" to fall asleep!

Henry LOVES his mama! He's supposed to be falling asleep right now :) Here's what he thought of that!

Henry's hand in mine in December

Henry's hands are getting so big. Both sides of the family have large-handed men, so I shouldn't be surprised, but they've grown just since the picture above that was taken in December.

No, I'm not letting him drink soda...it's prune juice...he just finished his first beef and vegetables dinner

Henry likes to eat his cereal, and is getting really good at picking things up.

He looks bigger than her, but she loves to hold him, so who are we to say no?

Henry and Sophie, he sure loves the camera!

Henry and my friend Joe at our housewarming party

Henry was being really quiet while I got ready for work...I guess he was all tuckered out from the long morning of playing!

He crawled all over, and then we realized it was over his eyes...maybe not so funny?

We were quite surprised to see this towel moving down the hall!

He doesn't pose for long!

Henry and daddy

He is really captivated by books...or what is underneath them

He explores his whole room now...baby-proofing is in progress :)

Henry loves getting into his bookcase

I've been caught!

He was pretty proud of himself. He has four teeth now, and is doing more new things everyday...it's so amazing to watch a human being grow!

We went to Union to celebrate my parents' 40th anniversary with a surprise party...it was really fun!

They were thrilled, April Fool's Day is my mom's favorite holiday!

Jared and Henry at the big celebration

Cellie is preparing for big sisterhood

He loved to pull himself up on my mom's end table

Go Henry Go!

He was SOOOO close to pulling himself up...now it's a done deal, the crib is officially lowered to the lowest rung.

My little monkey!

Dr. Wutzke on his way to school...he loves it when I make him pose for pictures

Ding Dong, the table's gone! For those of you who know me well....you'll understand why I'm posting the new kitchen table to the same blog that I post photos of my baby :)

Looks like Aunt Sherri was trying to sneak a little something extra into her suitcase!

I had to post this picture, I was taking pictures of him, and Jared came home...He looked over and grinned up at Jared...this is the stuff that people continue having children for!

Henry is chewing on EVERYTHING. He reminds me of a horse, because we'll be at a restaurant and we'll look down, and he's chewing on the edge of the table. He just cut his top tooth and the other one is begging to come through...you can feel and see it...it's gonna change the way he looks when he has two top teeth...I love that gummy smile!

He's very curious with all of his toys...I let him explore his toy box...

This lion was made for Jared when he was a baby.

Henry loves to kick around in the water at bath-time...the little frogs and turtles are his best friends

Sorry about the duplicate, the next second and third are the same...Anyway, I left Henry to play with his toy in the middle of the rug (He was behind the triangle when I left. I was getting ready and noticed that he was being awefully good...when I came out to the Living Room, this is what I found...He's mobile now and I'm not sure how I feel about it!

I called his name and he knew he'd been caught...What, ME? I didn't move mom, the toy did...it just got up and walked away from me.

I called his name and he knew he'd been caught...What, Me? I didn't move, the toy just walked away from me.

Yes mama, your life has changed FOREVER!

Henry still loves his exersaucer

Henry's trying peas for the first time...not so sure about this flavor

What was that?! That was NOT Sweet Potatoes!

Sherri and I went to a MaryKay conference, so it was the first time that I was away from Henry overnight. Of course, I stayed up until about 1am giggling so the whole "finally get a good night's rest" theory was blown, but we had SO MUCH FUN!

Henry is learning to fall asleep all by himself...he gets into some interesting positions

Cellie is learning to be ever so gentle by granny's example

henry loves when his granny tickles him.

One of Henry's last days in his old bedroom...he looks a little surprised to see me
