7.5 Months

Time is just rolling on by... and I'm knocking on wood as I type, but we have a pretty good routine going. Henry is sleeping like a champ, trying lots of new foods, and enjoying every moment of every day! But he is also no longer content staying in one place -- likes to be on the move at all times -- and although he has a room full of toys, he would rather take a swim in Charlie's dog bowl, play under the dining room table, and explore as many rooms in the house as he can (he's fast!!)  In addition, Henry is no longer content with just crawling -- he is now starting to pull up on all the low shelves and even try to pull himself into a standing position. Oh man, are we in for it now!

In other news, Ryan and I got to go out not just one, but TWO times in the past week.  We got to go to see The Boss last week Thursday and out to dinner with friends on Saturday! (Thank you Grandma Pat and Aunt Lindsey for babysitting!)

Henry had another fun Monday with my Mom -- as he always does. Man, we have an amazing family that is always willing to help us care for Henry.

Some new pics to enjoy!

Put himself in seated position!

I think Grandpa still has the hang of it!

Bruuuuuuuce!!! 

For those of you that don't know... I'm a huge Bruce fan... and this was Ryan's first Bruce concert -- and he chose an awesome one to attend. Bruce played for 3 hours and 15 minutes and the set list was simply perfection. 

Yup, I think I will just try to stand up here....

Another trip to the zoo -- 

Can't get enough of those smiles!

Oh, another table for me to pull up on? Thanks, Mom!

Yup... I'm going to be walking in no time!!

Baptism Baby!

Henry was baptized this weekend. What a wonderful celebration we had! The service was beautiful and Henry was a rockstar -- no tears, just gave us a very serious look as we held him over the baptismal fountain and water was sprinkled on his head. Henry has two amazing godparents and amazing group of people to share his life with! Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate this very special day!

Thank you for the pictures everyone -- and thank you to my brother, Ryan, who video taped the entire event!

Henry turned 7 months yesterday! He's on the move and growing growing growing! We can't believe that he is closer to being a year old than to the day he was born! Henry got to spend his 7 month birthday with Grammie S. and Great Aunt Jackie while Mommy and Daddy went to work. He had a blast -- played with TWO doggies, (Grammie's dog, Ivy, was here) took a walk to the park, and played all day long. Henry is also looking forward to his day with Grandma Beach tomorrow!

Playing in his clean diapers :) 

Charlie and Ivy are good friends now, sleeping in the same bed!

I'm ready for my walk!

first time on a swing -- Great Aunt Jackie tucked him in all nice :) 

Having fun with Grammie!

Thanks for the trip to the park, Grammie and Aunt Jackie! What a fun day!
