Henry feeling very happy about his new high chair

Henry's favorite food

Henry very much enjoyed our lunch at the Village Tavern today. He had lemons & pickles, and he cried when we took them away! So much for squash & sweet potatoes!

Mimi & Papa's visit

We loved having Mimi Gage visit us this past week. We had so much fun! Papa came in on Friday & they witnessed Henry's first real food/sweet potato experience. Bagpipes (courtesy of Graylyn) provided the perfect background music for the grand event! On Saturday, we went to Mt. Airy to find that Snappy Lunch was closed for renovations, but we had a great time walking around and visiting with the locals. Thanks again for coming to visit Mimi & Papa. We loved having you here in Winston Salem! Please come back soon!

Visiting Aunt Missy & Logan

We had so much fun visiting Aunt Missy & Logan in Charlotte on Wednesday!

Papa & Henry

Thanks for bringing Mimi to visit us this week Papa. We can't wait to see you again on Friday!

Congratulations to Shannon & Thomas!

We had a great time at Shannon & Thomas' wedding this weekend in Natchez! What a handsome couple.

Finally a rice cereal fan.

We think he might be ready to move on to oatmeal!

Visiting Mimi in Church Hill

Thanks for having us Mimi! You're a great babysitter! We love you!

5 Months Old!

We love the sweater Aunt Missy, Uncle Jack, & Logan! We can't wait for our new cousin to arrive in September! September rules!

What a difference 22 weeks makes...

Henry at 1 week in comparison to Henry at 22 weeks! I don't think he'll be able to wear this little outfit at even 23 weeks! Notice how at 1 week his sleeves are rolled up and look at his skinnny little leg! He even has the hat on in the 22 week picture and it's so small now that you can't even tell.

Picnic on Daddy's Lunchbreak

The weather has been so nice this past week, so we have been meeting Charlie at various parks for picnic lunches. Too bad it will all end soon. Snow has been forcasted for the weekend!

Henry & Big Bird BFF

This is how much Henry loves Big Bird...

I didn't position either of their feet! They are just that in sync!

The naptime ninja

This is how I found Henry when I went to wake him from his nap last week. Most recently, when I go to get him up from his nap, he's either peeking through the crib slats or doing other ninja moves.

SNOW!

We woke up this morning to the first snow of the winter!

Henry discovers the best part of a bath

Henry loves a good bath, but recently he has discovered the importance of a rubber duck in the bath.

The new stroller

Because we are going to Mississippi soon for a good friend's wedding & to visit my family, we decided that Henry would definitely need a new stroller that would be easier to carry on the plane. Doesn't he look so big!

Trying very hard to crawl

Today, Henry started trying to crawl! I think he still has a few weeks before he masters it, but he has really started to get places now that he has mastered his rolling over skills.

On a walk wearing his snowsuit

Henry enjoying a walk on a nice but cold winter's day. He finally got to wear his snowsuit!

His favorite toys... this week anyway
