My version of a 3 month photo shoot







3 Months Old!!




Henry is three months old today! I can't believe how fast he is growing. He changes everyday and is learning new things all the time. He is starting to roll from his tummy to his back more consistently and is really working on going from his back to tummy. His new thing is blowing spit bubbles. He does it all of the time! He loves making gurgling, spitting noises too. He is all boy!

This week Daniel's aunt came to visit and we had a great time with her. She, Daniel's mom, Henry and I went shopping everyday! It was so fun but really tiring. Henry was spoiled by them and got some great clothes and a new big toy from his Yaya. Here are some pics of him playing in it for the first time.

Girl Friends and Babies!

On the way back from the wedding I was able to get together with my girl friends from college. It was so fun! There are 7 of us that became best friends our freshman year and stayed together all four years. We are now all married have four kids between us and two on the way! It really is amazing how much things change in just 5 years. Everyone was able to come except Katie and we missed her! The kids had so much fun playing together and it was so crazy to watch all that was happening and think these are our kids! It was so great to catch up and meet the babies for the first time. We will have to do it again soon!

(Barri I borrowed some of the photos from your blog. Hope you don't mind. :) )


Rachel, Baby Cobb, and Amanda's little girl Mallie. Isn't Mallie adorable! Rachel is due very soon and we can't wait to find out what the baby will be.


Mary with her little one Lottie. She was so cute, squealing with delight at Carter.


Barri, baby Truett in her belly, Henry and me. Barri was my roommate for years. We had so much fun together. She is due in October.


Carter and Mallie. Carter is the oldest of the bunch. He is 3 and was so sweet to share his toys with the babies.


This was our attempt to get a picture of all of the kids together. This was the best one I got. It was so funny watching them.


Amanda making Lottie laugh.


Natalie, Mallie, Henry and me. Natalie was married the day after Henry was born. I was so sad to miss the wedding but I was a little busy!


Mallie giving Henry kisses. She really liked him.

Growing So Fast

Henry is growing so fast, but he is more and more fun everyday. He is holding his head up really well and talks all the time. It is so cute to listen to his sweet voice. He is laughing more and smiles all the time. It was so fun to see him playing with my dad when we were in AR. I am so glad to be staying at home and love watching him change and grow everyday.


We had Small Group at our house and Megan loves putting people's shoes on. She found Henry's and kept trying to put them on him. It was really cute.


Henry and My Dad playing hard


Henry discovered the TV recently and watches so intently.



Henry has also started putting his hands in his mouth all the time. I know we are days away from him putting everything in his mouth!


Sweet face!


Recently Henry has started grabbing his hair at night while he is falling asleep. He pulls it out sometimes and we are trying to get him to stop. Last night I gave him this little blanket to hold and it really helped. I think he liked it.


The other day after work Daniel put his tie on him. Isn't he cute!

Amy's Wonderful Wedding

This is going to be a long post but at least there are a lot of pictures. :) My little sister, Amy, got married on July 4th and it was the most wonderful wedding! The whole weekend was so much fun. I so enjoyed getting to see my family and old friends. Henry and I flew in on Monday and stayed the whole week. Daniel met us in Fayetteville where the wedding was. Henry did so well being out late, traveling, staying with baby-sitters and being passed around a lot! The wedding was at a place called the Stone Chapel at Matt Lane Farm and it was so sweet and beautiful. Amy looked gorgeous and her husband Matt is so sweet. The reception was so fun with a great pop jazz type band and a real fireworks show. It was the most fun wedding I have ever been to but I may be biased. :) I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked and most of them are of Henry. Having a baby to take care of made it hard to snap shots. But it really was a wonderful wedding!

Really good food at the Rehearsal Dinner

Meeting Henry

Last week we traveled to Arkansas for my sister's wedding. It was the first time she and my grandmother met Henry and the first time my mom had seen him (in person, not via skype) since the week he was born. It was so fun. He loved them and smiled and played. He had some many first like laughing out loud and reaching for something off the table. He did so great on the plane and on a long car ride. He was the other talk of the wedding (other than Amy), everyone was so excited to see him. It was hard to leave but we had a great time and will be back soon.


The first meeting


He LOVED Amy. It was so cute to watch them together


Dad had to show him some of his favorite shows. They watched Operation Repo and Field of Dreams. It was so funny.
