Henry's new toy

Disclaimer: I'm totally an embarrassing mom in this video. Don't judge me ;)

This was recorded on May 6th, right after we gave him this toy for the first time. He's still figuring it out, and it's adorable. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! We love you :)

my first mothers day

I had a wonderful first mothers day. I love Henry SO much, and I am so grateful to have this little guy in my life.

How could you not love this little face?! ♥

instagram update

Just updating all the cute pictures I take with Instagram of Henry, for your viewing pleasure:

laughing because I am SO hilarious, duh ;)

enjoying the finer things in life

playing and babbling and all that cute stuff :)

tickle attack!!

Such a little sweetie pie! I know these aren't very good quality pictures, but they're still adorable so who cares, right? I need to take another video of him sometime soon, it's been awhile. Stay tuned ;)

young love

Remember how Mona used to be in love with Josh? Well then Josh had a baby, and everything changed. Mona realized that Josh was a smidgen too old for her, and perhaps she should go after someone more age-appropriate....

Busted!! We'll be keeping an eye on you two love birds...! ;)

4 months old

I am baby, hear me ROAR!

On Thursday Henry had his 4 month doctors appointment. He is doing awesome. I had to fill out a little questionnaire about what/how he is doing, and how he's acting/growing, etc. He rocked it :) Here are his 4 month percentiles:

Weight: 14.24lb -- 23.4%

Length: 24.75" -- 29.98%

Head Circumfrance: 16.5" -- 57.89%

So basically, he's a shrimp with a large head ;) haha. The pediatrician was pleased with his growth. She said as long as his weight percentile is in the 20s or above, he's totally fine, especially since he's still gaining perfectly fine. She also said he's one of the cutest babies she has ever seen, and that she sees a lot of babies. [When I told Josh this, he said she probably says that to every parent. Bubble burster...!]

He got his 4 month shots, which is always sad, but he was a champ as usual. I did the same as last time and brought a bottle, which he guzzled down immediately and was pretty much back to normal. An hour or so later when he woke up from his nap he was kind of grumpy, but then he got over it. The only thing we need to do is start putting him to bed earlier now that he's getting older. Which kind of makes me sad because it means less time with him after work, but we won't make it tooooo early ;) haha.

april so far

Henry's been getting so big! Time has seriously been FLYING! The nice thing about him getting bigger is that his personality has been coming out more and more, and he's become a much happier little baby. (Or maybe we just know what we're doing a little more now? haha). Regardless, he is such a cutie, and I am so grateful for him every single day ♥ Here's what's been going on in April so far:

We've been working a lot (boo!)
But it makes seeing Henry's sweet face after work that much better :)

We went to Arizona. See the blog about that HERE.

Henry's smiles are still crazy big and happy.
He is such a good baby!

We went to Sarah's wedding this past weekend.
Thankfully Henry was very well behaved. He also enjoyed eating Daddy's hand.

Henry turned 4 months old!!

Our friends Jeff & Darci let us borrow their jumper/exersaucer thing.
Henry's had a lot of fun in it so far, although he hasn't quite discovered its jumping aspect yet.

Henry's still having tons of fun hanging out with his cousins all day, and they all adore him (it's so sweet to see how they love him so much!)
His Aunt Sarah is nice and sends me cute pictures like this to brighten my work day :)

On Monday (April 16) Henry rolled over from his back to his front for the first time.
He's so talented ;) Here he is showing off his bad self!

It's been so fun seeing this little baby grow up! We feel so privileged to be his parents :) Lately he's discovered how to blow raspberries with his mouth. That is freakishly adorable. He's also been growling a lot lately, which is hilarious. He's super strong, as usual. He doesn't even really do tummy time anymore, because he'll automatically just roll right over. The last picture above was a rare moment when he felt complacent enough on his stomach to just hang out for a few moments.

Tomorrow is his 4 month appointment, so stay tuned for all his stats and whatnot!
