SO BEAUTIFUL!

Happy Thanksgiving in Falls Church VA

We visited the D.C. Temple on Thanksgiving night, and my sweet husband took some really incredible pictures.

Our wonderful Thanksgiving feast. 2 Days later and still we have lots of yummy leftovers.

Handsome boys.......

Growing and Rolling!

It's an amazing thing to realize that being a mommy I wish my sweet boy would stay this little forever, and yet it is so much fun to watch them and encourage them to grow and be curious about the world around him. Henry is rolling over, loves playing in the mirror, and his baths could probably last forever if I weren't worried about him freezing. He is talking so much it's crazy. He usually seems to be grunting in agreement with anything his daddy might be saying at the time...

The adventures of J. Henry.....

Henry isn't quite sure yet if he enjoys the piano, but is at least, for a moment, captivated....

Sad Owies

Henry went in for his immunizations just a couple weeks ago. He had three shots, and I am so proud of him. We, well, I was dreading this appointment, but Henry did so so so well. Good job sweet boy!

Visiting George Washington University

Still staring........ But you have to admit, they are both pretty dang cute.....

Stylin' boy givin' us the stare down.....who's going to win?

We visited Dad's school one Sunday afternoon. It is so beautiful in the city. The buildings are incredible, and everything just seems so peaceful.

We are back from our rather long blogging absence. Sorry to our faithful readers who will probably be surprised by Henry's growth, we've been gone so long! Well, to make it up to you all I have added some fun new pictures for you. Enjoy....

Happy Late HALLOWEEN!

Look how cute! The froggy even has eyes!

Ooooooooo......Scary! This one was cute. A friend of ours gave it to us as a hand me down, and it glowed in the dark!

Henry had the opportunity to be lots of fun different things for Halloween this year. Here he is sucking his LEFT hand yet again..... Both of Henry's grandmas got him cute Halloween outfits. Grandma Julie got Henry a cute froggy costume, and Grandma Snow sent Henry a cute pumpkin beanie, and bib, and then we found a cute orange and white striped onsie........ Thanks so much Grandmas and Grandpas! Henry loves and misses you all! We are very excited to see you! Christmas is going to be here before we all know it!

Happy November

It has taken some time, but Henry will lay on his tummy now a little bit every day. He is finally able to get up and look around a little. Just tonight he rolled over!! YAY! I am so proud of my sweet boy

All bundled up and just waking up....

I LOVE this picture. Dad was falling asleep and I was getting Henry dressed after his bath and somehow Henry found Daddy's hand. I think it is so sweet. Henry loves his dad.

Sucking his thumb. He spits out his binky half the time just to suck on his thumb! And we've noticed it's usually his left hand. Henry might be left handed!

Henry and I visited the Botanical Gardens in D.C. this week with Michelle and Eve, and their sweet babies. That was so much fun!

Henry's friends Alex and Gabriella. Alex is 2 weeks older then Henry, and Gabbi is just 4 weeks older.

Beautiful Botanical Gardens

Hi to all that check up on Henry every once and a while,
I am sorry I haven't been as faithful this last week in updating with pictures. But I am back now, and ready to show off sweet little Henry.

Recently Henry just turned 3 months! Happy Birthday sweet boy! There hasn't been any big developments except that we are amazed every day by Henry's strength. He loves to stand, and we have to work at getting him to bend his legs to sit. He likes to look around, and people watch. Soon he won't even need me! I try hard every day to remember all the advice given to me about how fast they grow and spend more time with him. I love him so much!
