The big event this week was a trip to St. Louis for April's STL baby shower. Henry also attended this shower so all the hens at that shower could pass him around. While this was going on, Reggie and Grandpa Craig watched the MU/KU game back at the Anderson house (lucky for us we were in STL, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten to see the exciting finish!).

On Saturday night, we officially kicked off "LoBo week," celebrating Laura's 30th birthday (you will read more about LoBo Week in the Week 30 post). Grandma and Grandpa Anderson were nice enough to watch the little man while we painted the town. It was a pretty tame night filled with catching up with all her friends that are strewn about the country. Good times!

We got back to the Anderson's around 1 or 1:30, at which point we saw (and had predicted) that Grandma Kathy had stayed up holding Henry in a chair the whole time we were gone :). Though I am sure Henry loved this, we quickly found out that this is not the best way to have him sleep through the night. Once he woke up as we walked in, he wasn't ready to go back to bed. It took Reggie about an hour to get Henry back to sleep! We have now amended our standpoint on holding him into the night, and will be putting him in the crib during the traditional window every night!

The trip back on Sunday got off to a late start due to the aforementioned nighttime issues we had. Henry held Jenni Payne's hand for about 80% of the ride back to KC!
Developmentally, Henry continues to get glowing reports from daycare regarding his disposition as well as how he has been sleeping. On Tuesday, there was an incident whereby Henry was sitting and playing by himself. He apparently lost his balance and fell backwards into a bookshelf, leaving some bumps and red lines across the back of his head. When Laura picked him up 30 minutes later and was informed of the issue, she was understandably upset. However, Henry just smiled big and was his normal, happy, perfect self! Again, he's 'Bogart Tough!'
Henry also was allowed by Bella to give her a belly rub on his floor. As always, Henry was just staring at Bella one day while Reggie was holding him. Bella rolled over, and with a little assistance from dad, let Henry rub her belly for a few minutes. Really cute moment.

Finally, Henry continues to perfect the 'diaper blowout as you are leaving the house' move, doing it two out of three daycare days this week. Unfortunately for Laura/daycare, one of these incidents happened while she was actually in route to drop him off. She of course felt like a bad parent, dropping off her poopy kid to daycare. The hilarious part is that Henry always thinks this is funny, and once you notice what he has done, he will just smile so big :) Love that kid!
