Charlotte Trip

We had so much fun in Charlotte at the end of August. We got there two days before my mom's birthday and packed a lot of fun into those 10 days.

Henry and Zachery- only 5 weeks age difference 

We were thrilled that heathers trip coordinated with ours. Mae and Jude had so much fun together!

A family from next level invited our family to their pool and cooked us a feast. It was so fun!

Melissa had the crazy idea of driving to Columbia, SC to go the zoo and a lot of us were crazy enough to go!  The kids had so much fun and it was a great day to catch up with friends. Henry was a good boy and it was kind of a good thing that he doesn't need much sleep because he was pretty happy.

Ewww! I still have nightmares about this anaconda!

Elle and Mae are such buddies! She's one of maes very few girl friends. Henry and cole were so funny with each other. They are both at the grabby stage so they were always taking each other's pacis and pulling at the other.

Mindy came to visit which was great. She bought Henry that adorable green jumper.

My family threw a big get together and there were so many of us. When there are so many kids they kind of take care of each other.  

It was a fantastic trip and we did a ton of fun stuff. I never thought I'd be able to fly halfway across the country with two little ones but I made it by the grace of God! Our last flight home into Branson was the worst. both kids were crying and I was ready to hand them off to Shawn and take a nap.

Watt Visit

Alright this has been forever. Last update Henry was 6 months old.... he is now almost 10 months old. I'll try to start back in August and make several posts till we are current. 

The next event after I did the 6 month post was that Shawn's family came for a little visit. We always have so much fun when they come and they spoil us. Even though they were here for just a couple days they let Shawn and I have some date time which is always much needed. Mae and Henry love them and Mae's heart can always be softened immediately with presents. It's funny how she just warms right up after getting a present. (little stinker!)

I'm not going to caption each one for the sake of time but we are either at a restaurant, or silver dollar city or the table rock dam.

6 month stats

Henry was such a good boy at the doctor! We love our doctor so much, well, she's actually a nurse practitioner but she is great. It took awhile to find the right person but I'm happy we found her. I actually saw her a couple times when I was pregnant with Mae.

Anyways onto my big boys stats

Weight- 22lbs 8oz over the 100th percentile!!

Height 27in   75th percentile

I think his head is in the 80th or 90th percentile. It seems almost as big as maes! 

So proud of my BIG baby boy!

Halfway to ONE!!

Time flies! Henry is over 6 months old!

Henry has changed SO much in the last month! He learned to roll both ways within a week an a half and can sit up really great. He only falls if he's lunging towards something. I think he is going to walk early out of sheer determination to keep up with his sister. He can get from one side of the room to the other now with rolling and scooting. He is so active and loves to be out and about. 

Henry loves to eat. Right now I have frozen green bean, zuchinni, butternut squash, and bananas. He usually has two or three meals a day. I have ground up oatmeal that I'll make and then mix with any of the above foods or applesauce. He doesn't love green beans but I try to hide them among the other foods. I want to try some finger foods soon since I think he's probably ready and it would be nice for him to feed himself instead of screaming.

Speaking of screaming, Henry is a shrieker! He is so loud and loves to excercise his vocal cords all day. I think he is also less content now that he's aware of the world and that he can't get around in it.

Mae and Henry are best buddies. If Henry is fussy in the car, I'll tell mae to make funny faces at Henry and then they both end up laughing at each other. Melts my heart!

 Sock Bubbles- this was a lot of fun on a hot day which explains why they are both underwear clad.

 He's so good at helping with eating the laundry.

 Beautiful blue eyes
