Henry's first Easter

Henry enjoyed his trip to Ohio for Easter. He had a great time visiting Stu, Tutu, Omi, Opi, Matt, Ryan, Shannon, Brennan, and Quinn! Although he didn't get any candy this year, he did have fun dressing up in some festive holiday wear. Tutu also fed him his rice cereal.

Two big milestones

Henry tried rice cereal for the first time on Sunday (4 months and 1 week). He liked it although it was very messy! Daddy did a great job feeding him. This morning I had a big surprise when the boy who hates tummy time rolled from his tummy to his back (left). He has done it about 10 times today. Hopefully he'll perform when Mark gets home tonight. This weekend we're all headed to Cleveland to visit family and to celebrate Easter. He hasn't seen many of his cousins and aunts and uncles since he was 5 weeks old. Won't they be surprised to see his new tricks!

Henry is 4 months old!

Henry is now 4 months old! He is getting a little better at tummy time; he now sticks his butt in the air and flops it to one side. He is very strong and supports some of his weight on his legs when he's held upright. He loves to squeal, scream, coo. Sometimes he says words, although it's fun, we know it's not intentional. We've heard "gooey" and tonight I thought he said "big boy" but Mark thought it was "good night". He loves to spend time in his exersaucer, Bumbo chair, and under his two play mats. He smiles and laughs all the time and he constantly makes us do the same!

Now that the weather is nicer our family walks are getting longer. Henry loves to ride in his stroller and carrier. On Saturday I spent my first night away from him and Mark worked his baby magic--Henry slept 8 hours straight. Last night he slept 6 hours straight in his crib. Those nights when we all get sleep are really wonderful!

On Saturday morning Henry met some other babies--Jackson, James, Grady, and Aiden. He was so excited to be the oldest and biggest boy in the group.

On Thursday night He will go to the doctor for his 4 month check up. Unfortunately that means more shots. We're excited to see how big Henry has become!
