Preview of Henry's 6 month photo shoot

From the minute I stepped into little Henry's house it was just a completely laid back and happy environment...which makes for a completely laid back and happy baby!  Henry is such an expressive little guy, and such a sweetheart...I couldn't get over his sweet grin and little expressions.  He just melted my heart.  His parents were equally as wonderful...even if they are Missouri fans :)  All of this made for a wonderful session, and a fun morning with a sweet baby boy.  Enjoy your preview!

Henry was even happy as his dad dressed him...now that is a happy baby!






So sad the picture on the left is out of focus, but I had to post it...it's just too funny.


Ahh...love these so much






Hey, look...I'll even pose for you.  6 month old rockstar.

Still posing...such a stud.

If this doesn't make you smile, I'm not sure what will.

Some details from his gorgeous nursery done by his momma.


All of these windows are just heavenly...I want a room like this so bad...it is just awesome for a nursery.  I'd be smiling all the time if I lived in a room with all of these windows, too! :)





Love this shirt!

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!
