A Reunion at the Farm

This past weekend we went to Altavista, VA, for the second annual farm reunion with all of Jenny's high school friends.  What a difference a year makes.  Last year it was all adults and dogs, this year the dogs stayed home and instead there were 5 babies!  While the car rides down and back were long (about 8 hours each) they were certainly worth it.  In total there were 20 of us not including the babies and everyone had a blast.  We were fishin, riding 4-wheelers, chillin around the camp fire, having an impromptu birthday party and just relaxing out in the country.  Enjoy the pix!

6 Months Old!

We can't believe it...Henry is 6 months old today! Time is really flying by. He did a fabulous job at his doctor's appointment today. I was really worried about the shots since he had such a hard time at his four month appointment. This time around I gave him Tylenol at the doctor's office instead of waiting to come home.  After the shots, he surprisingly calmed down very quickly. That was good news for mom and dad!  And Henry was great for the rest of the day!  

To celebrate Henry's first 6 months of life, I made a dessert of course (thanks to Christine for inspiring this monthly tradition), but it didn't cool in time to make the picture.  We also treated Henry to a new toy for his half birthday.  And then Henry got to try out his new big boy bath tub.  Hopefully, he'll enjoy it more next time!

We are so proud of our baby boy! He is sitting up on his own and reaching for anything that is around him.  His new favorite thing is to try to eat whatever he can get into his mouth.  We are going to move to veggies tomorrow! Hopefully he'll like the new tastes to come.

Height: 28 inches (95th percentile...shocker!)

Henry and Dr. Seuss

Henry has been making lots of new strides lately.  He is now eating oatmeal two times a day and is able to sit up on his own.  Granted he tips over every now and then but according to Henry, "that's half the fun".  He is reaching for everything and also turning his head when he hears sounds.  This picture is from "Read Across America Day" when Jenny and Henry were stuck at home because of the snow...
