Week 28 Happenings

Scot, Gavin, Anna, Jamie Stottlemyre, & Henry

This was a pretty tame week for Henry. The highlight was on Saturday when Reggie took him to 810 Zone on the Plaza to watch the K-State/Mizzou game with Dave and Vic. Henry was awesome and very playful. He seemed to like the noise of the game, and REALLY liked Reggie's napkin, utensils, glass, really anything within 2 feet of his reach :)

While the boys were watching the game, Laura and her 'hens' attended a baby shower for April on the Plaza. Once it was over, the boys were summoned to come over for two reasons: 1) So Dave could carry/load all the stuff, and 2) so the hens could all pass Henry around. Though he hadn't had a nap yet, he was able to pull it together for 30 minutes and just smile and squeak! It was pretty funny how when the guys showed up, Henry was immediately snatched from Reggie. Then, Reggie, Vic, and Dave were essentially relegated to the corner of the room by the coffee (which was great for Dave, who made himself a Big Gulp!) and not paid any attention to until everyone was ready to leave the restaurant.

We continue to introduce new solids into Henry's diet. This week featured zucchini and pears. I don't understand why, but that kid loves zucchini! So far, he has been a relatively clean eater, though he does eventually love to try and grab the spoon as you are putting it in his mouth, which of course starts the process of dirtying up stuff. We have learned that 'solids time' is to be quickly followed with 'bath time.'

No more pears on me!

Henry is sleeping very well both at daycare and at home now. At daycare, he will now nap about 1 and 1/2 hours each day. At home, he is finally making it through the night! We can officially put him down at 8:30 or so and pretty much guarantee he will sleep until 6:30am. What a relief!
