Out

So Dad's been out with H1N1... So yeah, I've been spending a lot of time away from Henry - mostly quarantined in the bedroom - so I don't get him sick. That doesn't yield many pictures. But there's a few shots I wanted to post from last weekend that Mom took of Henry and I (before I got sick). Back to the recovery room...

Shoulders

Henry's still developing every day. He's getting better at grabbing on to things which makes him have more fun with his toys. His attention span seems to be increasing. And I swear he responds to his name, but maybe it's just to my voice... Here's a picture when Mom put Henry up on her shoulders.

Remote

Uncle Adam bought Dad a remote for his camera. I played around with it a bit today so here's a picture with both Mom and Dad (and Henry, of course). He has no idea what he's in for being raised by us :) Clearly he'll have non-stop fun! I mean, look at him!

Sickness

This past weekend, Henry came down with a bit of a cold. He was congested and sneezing and coughing and his voice was really raspy. He even had a bit of a temperature last night. Needless to say, he did not have a good weekend. Even though he cried a bit more than usual, and his face was covered in snot and drool, we were still able to find smiles throughout the day to keep us going:



But yes, he did do more crying than usual (this next picture was moments after the previous one)... We'll all be happy to have him back in full health. -Click on the picture to see the tears :(

New Toy

Henry's borrowing an exersaucer from some friends. Mom's not the biggest fan of plastic toys, but Henry loves this thing! There is so much to stimulate his little developing brain. He's a little small for it, but he has such good leg and head strength, that we just pad him with some blankets and let him go at it! Here he is enjoying his new toy.

Three Months! (Big Boy Edition)

Three months old... Henry is getting so big! It gets harder and harder to hold him up for prolonged periods of time - quite the arm workout. He's increasing his baby-talk vocabulary which is totally cute. He's gaining more and more control of his motor skills. But he's still on the same general sleep schedule which includes waking up far too frequently for Mom and Dad's liking. I just took a quick snapshot of Henry and Mom to show how big he is today. I posted twice today so be sure to continue scrolling down for more!

Three Months! (Pumpkin Edition)

Henry is three months old today! It's hard to believe, I know. This past weekend, Henry got to experience his first Pumpkin Festival! We got up and met Grandpa and Great Grandma there for pumpkin pancakes on Saturday morning. This picture (Grandpa took) is in the food tent after Henry scarffed down about a dozen pumpkin flapjacks :)



After the pancakes, we got to watch the parade. It was quite a disappointment this year -- they didn't have the tumblers on the semi or the old-folks with their wheel chairs decorated. This is after the parade. Can't you see that hint of disappointment in his eye?
