Cleared for takeoff - Week 48

Attempting to make an "H" for the week pic. Henry was not amused! 


This week started out with Henry's first day at his new daycare facility, Union Hill. We were a little nervous as to how he would respond to having teachers and kids who were all new to him. However, as we should have known, Henry had no issue adjusting, immediately smiling and playing with their toys. The ladies at the facilities told both Reggie and Laura that he is already the most chill baby they have, and they wished that they have seven more just like him in the room! Also, they love his "fish face," which is something that Henry somehow developed on his own. It is extremely cute,
especially if you overlook all the snot running
out of his nose from teething!

The famous "fish face"



Cute, huh?! :)
On Saturday, we all packed up and went to St. Louis for a U2 concert on Sunday. Which on a side note was the best concert we've ever seen hands down!!! Once we arrived, we found out that Grandpa and Grandma Anderson had gone out and bought Henry a Mickey Mouse airplane which Henry could use to either ride on top of, or walk behind it. This has immediately become Henry's most cherished possession! All weekend, all he wanted to do was push it around or have Dad push him around real fast. (On a related note, ol' dad needs to get into shape! A 32 year old shouldn't be out of breath after 5 minutes!)


Blast off!!!!

On Sunday morning, we all went to brunch with our friends Stef and Tim, and their girl Ella (See Week 20 pic). Great time, Ella was very good at sharing her dolls with Henry and vice versa. When he wasn't sharing with Ella, Henry was making fish faces at everyone all during the meal!

Nothing really to report on the developmental side. It is interesting to note how much older having four teeth (or 3 and 1/4) makes a baby look!
