| Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Craig |
Henry's fourth week took him on two trips and two parties. First, Laura took him to north KC to meet up with our friend Ashley and her new baby Kyra (born 2 days after Henry). This was followed by a trip to St. Louis to visit Grandma and Grandpa Anderson and attend a wedding for one of Laura's sorority sisters. He did great in the car, though we certainly had a full share of road stops at various McDonald's throughout mid-Missouri to change diapers and/or nurse. Everytime Reggie would change him on the backseat, he would keep thinking to himself, "please don't relieve yourself in the car!" :) The wedding reception was our first time officially leaving Henry for an extended time. Kathy said he didn't cry the whole 5hrs. that we were gone (we think that might be just wishful "grandma speak" since we have never experienced that :) ). Also, while in STL, Grandma Kathy threw an amazing open house for all our St. Louis friends and family to be able to meet him.

What Happens at Grandma's Stays at Grandma's |
On Friday night, we all went to celebrate our friend Mary's 30th birthday! We were a little concerned about the noise level (Mary's party was the bomb!), but Henry loved it! Though being passed around the party all night, he just slept the whole time. I shouldn't say he was passed around all night. The "Henry Hog," a.k.a. Jenni Payne, was in attendance, so she had him for 70% of the time. Also, Henry was able to get phone numbers from 4 random women. We figure it must be because he is already gaining more and more of his dad's good looks!
Overall, Henry is starting to be more and more alert during the day, and sleeping better at night. He is 8lbs, 5oz as of Tuesday, which is just below the target set by the pediatrician. He is an absolutely wonderful baby! Now if he would just lose that old man back hair.............
