Henry's first trip to NOVA

Henry had a blast this past weekend meeting many new friends.  He got lots of time to hang out with grandma and grandpa McDannell and says thank you so much for letting us stay with you! 

Friday we visited Leslie and her daughter Lillian followed by a trip to Jenny's old school, Wakefield Forest Elementary.  Jenny caught up with many old friends at the school and saw lots, and lots, of prior students.  All of them asked some really good questions, my favorite being, "what is Henry's favorite color?"

Saturday we visited Brian & Katie and their son Jackson.  He is two weeks younger then Henry but boy does he love to hear himself talk.  Henry and Jackson are said to be BFF's already so I think we will have plenty of trips back to NOVA in our foreseeable future.  Saturday afternoon we visited with one of my fraternity brothers and his 3 year old son.  

Sunday started with a great breakfast then it was off to Jenny's brother Mike and his wife Jeannine's house in DC.  We had a great time visiting with everyone and never thought it could be so exhausting.  On our way back home we stopped off and grabbed a new macbook which I am playing with now, fun stuff.  Enjoy the new pix...

2 Month check up

Mr. Henry went in for his two month check up today and got a clean bill of health. He also got a couple shots which he was "none to pleased" about but Jenny said he calmed down pretty quickly. The doc gave him some infant tylenol to help with a possible fever so he's been sleeping for most of the day. We took his temperature right before bed time and all was normal so we are keeping our fingers crossed for the next couple days.

Henry's measurements were all pretty normal, head was 15 3/4 inch (50th percentile), length was about 23 1/2 inches (85th percentile) and weight was 13lbs 4oz (90th percentile).

Me and my bumbo

We got Henry a bumbo today and from look the pictures, we're pretty sure he likes it. He can't quite hold himself up yet so we put him up against the couch to support his head. Now he gets two work outs a day, tummy-time and bumbo-time.
