Our new shorts!

I had to go get my eyes checked the other day, and it was really hot outside so Henry got to wear his new shorts! I put him on the bed to get a picture, but he quickly rolled to his belly, so the shots look like senior pictures :)

Taken it easy-

This is what Henry does when he watches T.V.

He holds on to the side of the swing and sucks on his fingers-

He also has a full belly here, this is right after breakfast, so he is pretty content!

Carrots!

We tried carrots for the first time tonight! Of course, he loved them- I don't think we have to worry about the whole "liking fruits more than veggies" thing, he pretty much likes anything that will go into his mouth :)

He got a little messy

He likes to bring your hands up to his mouth- I guess I can't get the food in there fast enough!

You should see the close up of this pic. He has food everywhere!

First (Assisted) Steps :)

This is Henry walking in the walker! He had always just stood in it until yesterday. I put him in it and turned around and this is what he was doing- I don't know what sparked in him, but he goes everywhere now!

(Sorry for the poor quality, I took the video with my phone)

Moving Everywhere!

Henry is 4 1/2 months old, so he had to go in for his second set of shots- He did really well, only cried a little! He weighs 18 1/2 lbs and 26 1/2 inches long. He is in the 95th percentile for weight and height! He's a big boy! He even started walking in his walker!! He used to just stand in it, but as of today, he is moving all over the house! I have to keep moving him, because our house isn't that big so he keeps running into things and getting frustrated :)

His first St. Patricks Day!

So, just a few days ago, I went into his room and he had turned over to his belly- He rolled over about a month ago, but had only done it once or twice since then. Now he rolls over every time we lay him on his back, which makes it really hard to change his diaper!!

Here is a link to a video of him just starting to roll, he is getting faster at it by the day! I couldn't get it to upload on the blog, so I had to do it on youtube! (Don't mind the outfit, he had on his p.j.'s and got cold in the middle of the night, so it was dark and I just grabbed the first pants I could find...thats why it looks like I'm colorblind:)

The Walker-

Henry has been standing in his walker a few times a day- It is great for when I am cooking in the kitchen, he can play and watch me :) He only inches around, and its all by accident- He just moves his feet untill he runs into a chair or wall :) He is so good with his head control!

He's a happy boy!

Nap Time!

So we have been trying to get Henry to take naps in his bed (instead of ours :) and this is usually what happens- He turns himself so that he can watch his rain forest animals :) It's so funny...he will do anything to keep from taking a nap!!

He's growing up!

We just started feeding him cereal- He didn't like it at first, then we tried mixing it with juice instead of water, and he loves it!! He actually starts fussing if we don't get it in his mouth fast enough :)

He opens up his mouth every time he sees the spoon


yum yum!

He actually ate 4 bowls of cereal tonight (they were small) We had to stop him at 4 even though he was still acting hungry- This is why our baby weighs 18 lbs!!

We are so lucky, he loves his bath time!! He has from the beginning- Sometimes when he is fussy, we can just put him in the tub, and he is fine :) he just starts splashing in the water

He is getting so good at holding his head up!

He even likes to do push-ups :)
