Still Walkin'

This year is almost over!! Brian takes Step 3 tomorrow and Wed.- The last step he will have to take until he is out of residency!! He only has one month left of wards (May), and then a research month, which will be pretty laid back- Thank goodness!! Then in July, he starts Optho!

Not much else is going on here, just watching Henry grow :) He changes every day- It really is amazing!

I love his chubby little legs in this picture!

He is so happy in his walker :)

Daddy's little man-

We have trouble deciding who Henry looks like....But something about these pictures brings out his daddy in him :)

This week in pictures...

Henry likes his sippy cup, but not as much as mom and dads cup!

He tries to hold it himself :)

So this is the latest, I put him in his crib for a nap, and he moves all over!! Every time I go in, he has an arm or leg stuck between the bars- I tried putting up our bumper, but it doesnt fit in this crib- It's too big, so it falls on him when he tries to sleep- Who knows?? Poor baby!

He's wondering why I'm taking a picture and not helping him out :)

A Big Week!

First of all, Henry had a cracker for the first time! Its kind of like a baby rice cake and it dissolves as soon as it gets wet, so it was perfect for him! He loved being able to hold it himself!

Then, he tried a sippy cup for the first time! (I was adventurous at Wal-Mart :) He gets really excited when he sees it coming! It's really funny, he hates a bottle, but loved the cup immediately!


I think he likes being able to do things himself!

He also started sitting in his high chair!

He thought he was a big boy!

And best of all, he had his first Easter! Maw Maw came down and brought him his first Easter bunny! He loved it! Thanks for coming to see us Maw Maw!!

5 Months Old!

Henry turned 5 months old on the 5th! I can't believe its going so fast! He is learning to grab things and for some reason, he wants to drink whatever your drinking :) He sees us put the cup up to our mouth and fusses until you give him a drink. So, we have to get a cup of juice and keep it on the table so everytime we get a drink, he can have one too!!

His new favorite thing is to grab his feet and take his socks off- I know most of the pictures are in his chair, but its the only time he is still enough to get a picture! :)

He still loves his carrots!

This is what happens when Riley gets a treat- He takes it outside, and hides it in the dirt- he thinks he's tricky but he left a little evidence on his nose :)

Our Jungle-

So things have been really busy for us lately- Brian has had 8 days off in the last 2 1/2 months, and usually uses those days to catch up on stuff he didn't get done at the hospital. Henry now only takes a few naps during the day, and they usually last about 30 min. or so- All this to say, we havent really had time to mow the lawn in a while. In Oklahoma, this wouldn't be so bad at this point in the year. But, the weather has been so warm that people have been mowing their grass down here for about a month or so...crazy! The picture is of our back yard- This is only one section of weeds, but it must be the tallest and strongest, because the other day I actually saw a bird land on one and start to clean himself!! Amazing- You know your yard is bad when a weed can hold up small animals :)
