The first Royals game - Week 37


Jerrod Mitchell and Henry

It was a relatively light week of happenings in Henry's life, however there were two big events. First, on Saturday, Grandma Janith came and visited to cover off Easter, Reggie's birthday, and to assist with Aunt Allison's move. Of course, Henry made out like a bandit, getting even more Easter gifts, and lots of time playing on the floor with Grandma!

Kickin' it with Grandma on the sunporch!
On Sunday, Reggie, Laura, Aunt Allison, and Grandma all went to the Royals game - Henry's first!!!! It was  a cool day, with temps in the 50s. Luckily, Reggie was able to score some indoor seats/table for everyone. Henry looked out at the field and jumbotron a little, but he was more interested in playing with the peanuts dad had bought, and banging mom and Allison's pretzel cheese containers :) He did love it when the Royals would score or make a big play and everyone would clap. I'm sure he thought they were clapping for him, as mom and dad clap for him anytime he is doing something good. Though the timing of the game messed up Henry's nap schedule (i.e. he didn't get one), he was very well behaved until about the 7th inning, when fatigue finally took over. We ended up leaving in the 8th. I think that is a pretty good length of time for your first game! Oh, and as you would expect, the Royals won big, 10-3!
The greatest day ever!

Grandma watched Henry along with Aunt Allison on Monday. Henry continually tried to pull up on the coffee table using a little assistance from Grandma. In addition to this pulling up development, Henry has also started long distance army crawling. On Tues. morning, Reggie was making Henry's bottles for daycare, and had sat Henry in the living room with his toys. Within a couple of minutes, here comes Henry rounding the corner. Reggie thought he was coming for him in the kitchen, but then he veered off and headed for Bella's water bowl! This has been repeated many times since then. We have no idea what it is about that water dish.

The first of MANY father-son outings
Lovin' my new hat.  Thanks Aunt Jen! If I got mom's skin, I'm going to need it!
