A House Divided - Week 40

Leslie Welner and 'Gator'

This week had a number of big events, probably headlined by his attendance at his first Cardinals-Royals  game! After MUCH debate/arguing/divorce papers being served, it was decided Henry would wear his Royals top with his Cardinals socks. The compromise is that when we attend the Cards-Royals in STL he would wear a Cardinals top (Reggie needs to get him some Royals accessories/face paint). Aunt Jen came along with us, and we just stood the whole game and walked around. Henry did great, and loved seeing all the people!

Henry and Slugger! This might be the 2011 Bogart Christmas card (we will photoshop Laura in here)!

Aunt Jen needs to get her allegiances straight!

Prior to the game, we went down south to the Deanna Rose farm for the 2yr. birthday party for Reece Lorei. It was a cowboy theme, and as you can see below, Henry loved riding the inflatable horse they had on hand! After the party we walked around the property to show Henry goats, cows, and ducks. He is still a little young to want to pet them, but definitely liked staring at them. For some reason, he thought the goats were really odd to look at!

Giddy up!

Believe it or not, we may have picked the gift of the party. Henry is jealous!

Kickin' it at Deanna Rose

On Sunday, we had Anne Pendleton back out at the house to take Henry's 9-month photos. Additionally, Laura had Anne show her how we could better use our own camera. As always, he was a total ham for the camera, and flirted with Anne the whole time :)

Laura took this picture!

Friday was Henry's 9-month checkup. His official stats are: weight: 18lbs (20th percentile), and length: 27 and 3/4 inches (30th percentile). His head is in the 75th percentile. The head size is probably so he can be stubborn like his mom and dad.

On Monday, we all went over to the Siffords for dinner (and see baby Jack!). Henry has started liking to pull up on the dishwasher over the last week or so. When April had her dishwasher door down, Henry promptly pulled up and pulled out a knife! Luckily, dad was watching and got it out of his hand immediately! It is amazing just how quick our little guy has gotten! You walk away for 5 seconds, turn around, and he has already caught up to you! Also, when you are holding him and he reaches for something, he IS quicker than you!

Going shopping!
