Help!

So we are trying to get Henry to eat some finger foods. It is not going well. I have been feeding him chunky food from a spoon for a while so I know the problem is not that he can't eat it, he just doesn't want to. He loves food so I don't know what the problem is. When I put things down on his tray he just moves them around and looks at me like what is this. I know he can pick it up because he picks up the smallest things he finds on the floor and puts them in his mouth! So far I have tried cottage cheese, puffs, and Cherrios. Any advice on getting him to eat finger food?!?

Thanksgiving

Henry's first Thanksgiving! We had a great time here with Daniel's family. Great food, football, naps what more could you ask for!


Henry always has fun playing at the grandparents' house.


One of his favorite toys. Yaya's metal bowls. They are loud and really fun!

7 Months

I can't believe Henry is 7 months. He is getting so big! We have had a lot of first this month...

Started pulling up on the side of the bed so we had to lower the crib mattress.


We had our first cool weather walk so he needed his hat and sun glasses. :)


He has also started crawling on his hands and knees, picking up a cup and drinking from it by himself, he started making consonant sounds like na, ma, da but he is not connecting them together yet. His favorite things to do these days are climb anything and put things in his month. A you can see daddy makes a really good climbing toy! :)

6 Months!

Here Henry's six month picture. I have been putting him in the chair with his bear each month but this month he discovered the bear and immediately started trying to eat it. So this is what I got. He is also where the awesome new Saint jersey that Daniel's Aunt Pattey got for him. He looks so cute!!

What have we been up to?

So while I was gone from blogging a lot has happened. Henry is growing like crazy and doing so many different things. Here are some of the things he has been doing since the last time I posted.

-He is eating lots of different foods and loves them all. So far he has had banana, sweet potato, avocado, yogurt, peas, apple
-He is trying really hard to crawl and has mastered the army crawl. He is all over the place and is into everything! He loves finding the dogs toys and anything that is not a toy. Who needs a treadmill I just chase my 6 month old all day. :)
-He is so loud and loves talking and yelling. It is so funny to hear all of the different noises he makes.
-We had some sleep issues, but have finally got him sleeping through the night again. He is growing so fast and moving all of the time that he was hungry constantly. So after starting formula at night before bed we are back on track. I forgot how much better I feel when I get 6 or 7 hours of sleep at one time without interruption.

We are having so much fun with him and just can't believe he is growing so fast! Here are his 5 month photos. Six month shot to come.

We dropped off the face of the earth!

Ok So I am way behind on keeping up with our blog! So to catch up I am doing to post several groups of pictures because we all know that's what you really want to see. :)

Four Months!

So I am behind again on updating our blog. Things have been really busy around here but one thing is for sure, Henry is growing like crazy! We went for his four month check up and he weighs 16 lbs 3oz and is 26 and 1/4 inches long. We are having so much fun with him. So many people told me that they loved each stage more that the one before and it is so true. Here are a few of the things he is doing right now.

-Grabbing at anything with color, including clothes, the remote or cell phones
-Laughing more and more everyday. He gets so tickled when we play with him.
-Talking and squealing. I have started calling him a little piglet because of the way he squeals when he plays and laughs it is so funny.
-Rolling all over the place. He will go from one end of a blanket to the other and back again.
-We are working on sitting alone but he is so interested in reaching for everything that he won't stay still long enough to really work on it.

We are just having so much fun watching him grow!!
