| Rebecca and Lawson Muller with Henry |
This week brought Grandma and Grandpa Anderson back into town on Thursday for Craig's work. Kathy brought Henry to Hallmark on Friday for lunch with Laura and Jen. Also, it was a great chance for some of Laura's Hallmark friends (including his old flame Emily) to see him. Also, we all went down to the Plaza for shopping and dinner at Coal Vine's on Friday night with Jenni Payne. It seems so easy to go to dinner with your child when you have six sets of hands around to help appease the little guy! He actually was very content drinking his bottle and playing with sugar packets (which by the way, he LOVES to play with sugar packets).

On Wednesday, Laura had April and Anne over to the house to watch Top Chef, drink wine, and catch up/gossip. I think Anne came over primarily to hold Henry because she wouldn't hardly let go of him (and he loved it!) :)

When Reggie dropped Henry off on Wednesday, Trina (the lead "teacher") showed him this rainforest/jungle-type setup that they had apparently constructed. When Laura picked him up that afternoon, Trina said how much Henry loved sitting in it since it had lots of toys hanging down from it. However, our friend Lindsay e-mailed Reggie the next day and told him that when she picked up Noah that Henry was sitting in there just crying away!!! Do you smell that.....it is the stench of deception!
On Saturday, Reggie headed down south to play poker while Laura and Henry went over to his godmother's house to "look at nursery stuff." For those that don't know, this is "Laura code" for sitting around drinking wine and talking. Dave played with Henry, right up until the point when Henry's face got real red.........Laura changed him :)

Developmentally, Reggie thinks that Henry is starting to recognize his name. He can be sitting there looking around, and generally when you say his name he will look back at you! Laura thinks it is just a function of him hearing someone talking. Who knows? Also, he is starting to get his second tooth! This one is also on the lower jaw in the middle, right next to the first tooth he cut. Finally, it is amazing what kids find amusing. Henry has lots of toys to chew on, throw, beat together, and yet it is everyday things that he seems to like the most. In the mornings he loves to play with an unopened small makeup jar of Laura's. You have seen the colander picture in the kitchen. This week, we put him in an empty diaper box and called it a spaceship, and he absolutely was in heaven! Of course, the bottom of the box started to bow a bit from the weight, so "Spaceship" came to an end real quick :)
