| I need a diaper, NOW! |
Well, the holidays are officially upon us, and with that meant another long road trip for Henry and the Bogarts. On Thursday, we all went down to Harrisonville to Reggie's Aunt Donna's house for the the Bogart Thanksgiving. It was great for his family to be able to meet Henry. He did pretty good, though Reggie did have to make a mid-day run to CVS for diapers. How that kid went through 6 diapers in 5 hours I don't know!

From Harrisonville, we picked up Bella in KC and headed to St. Louis for Laura's extended family Thanksgiving, which was Saturday night. It was a long day of driving, but luckily Henry slept through most of it so we had minimal stops along the way. Half of her family had previously met Henry during an open house in St. Louis back in September. Aunt Colleen tried to baby snatch him, but ol' dad was hot on her heels! :)
On Friday morning, Henry had his 3-month old photo shoot with Stephen Seebeck, who was our wedding photographer. He got some amazing pictures of Henry, who was very open to smiling during parts of the shoot. The trick was to have a burp cloth with you in your back pocket to wipe away all the drool right before the picture would be taken.

| The paparazzi is always after Henry, so we took some ourselves to make some money! |
(Unsolicited plug - if you are looking for some professional photos, you should definitely check out Steve. His work is amazing, and is very easy to work with. If you are interested, his website is http://www.seebeckphoto.com/). Now, back to the blog......
On Friday night, we went over to April Sifford's family's home to catch up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. Nothing too exciting took place, except when April was holding Henry on the couch at the end of the night, he apparently decided that he would make a move and try to pull her top down! Between this and the "cheerleader incident" something tells me that there will have to be some "father-son" discussions sooner than later about the way a gentleman should behave (or at least a Bogart male!)
After the Saturday Thanskgiving, we went to Laura's friend Jill Dauer's family home to visit her and her husband. They live in L.A., so we don't get to see them too often. Jill was natural with Henry! And, even though it was really late for him, he was very well behaved. You will see a picture of Jill and our little man on next week's blog entry. Since she is out in California, we had a cheat a little for Week 16.

| "What high school are you from....." |
On Sunday, we decorated the house and put up the Christmas tree. Henry absolutely loved the lights on our tree as well as Grandma Kathy's. I just wonder as Henry gets older whether he will be a present snooper like his dad, or inherent poor "good present" dance moves from his mom! FYI, the dance moves aren't too dissimilar from Elaine's dancing on Seinfeld. I like to think of it as a Festivus miracle!
Tuesday brought with it a visit out to Laura's friend Jessica "T-Rex" Lee's house to visit her newborn baby girl Audrey. Audrey is an absolute cutie! Henry's girlfriends just keep piling up :) We like to think of Henry as being a pretty small baby, but was interesting to see just how much he has grown from his newborn stage when sitting next to Audrey.

| Happy Thanksgiving from the Bogarts! |
The big developmental happening this week was Henry's decision to rollover on Tuesday night! He only did it once, but luckily Laura and her sister were already filming him so we got it on tape! Next up: Walking (which I expect to happen before Christmas - he is a Bogart you know :) ). Also, we are trying to get him on a nightly schedule of the "4 B's" - bottle, bath, book, bed. So far, he seems to be taking to it well.
