Have you had enough?!

Sorry guys! We're on overload today! I think this is the last post we'll do today... No promises though!This is Henry's first ever pumpkin!

"What is this thing guys?"

Pumpkin carving is funny!
After this was shot Henry and Rob sat on the swing and watched me open it up and clean it out before drilling holes all over it. I saw it in a magazine, and am hoping ours looks that good this Friday!

A little video

A Few clips of Henry and Frank The Monkey

Cutie Patootie!


He's such a silly boy!


Now that his top teeth have broken through he is finally back to smiley, fun Henry! He still refuses to let you see his new teeth, but Rob and I have tried and they are so big! Three of them have cut through and the fourth one is sitting on the edge. His gums are still pretty sore and swollen, so maybe when that goes down he will have four new teeth!


He loves this ball!


His bottom teeth are getting so big!


'Brothers!'

We're back!!!!!


These are just some silly, random pictures we've been storing up!


Silly face!

He can fly!!


Henry in his 'Christmas' jammies. These are 12 months and were purchased with the intent that they would be his Christmas jammies, but thankfully Rob put him in them the other day and we realized they will be too small by then!


Henry's cool jersey!


He didn't take the loss against Arizona very well.
Actually this is his new thing. There's a bowl in the middle of the table that has letter that float along the side and he'll stick his face in it and watch the table light up from inside! He's such a weirdo!

Introducing- STRONG MAN!!!


This is Henry's halloween costume. He's the strong man from the circus!


But he's not so much interested in the barbell as he is the grass surrounding it...


On the move!

Very Strong!


He was such a good sport! We would make him stand here or sit there and he did it without fuss! And we got some great pictures out of the deal!

Pumpkin patch!


We were going to take Henry to a pumpkin patch with a hay ride and go pick your own pumpkin out of the field, and all of that, but on our way there we passed a church that was having a pumpkin sale and had tons of pumpkins without the other hoopla so we went there instead! It was great. We were able to take as long as we wanted and get as many pictures as possible for the low, low price of $6 (for a pretty nice pumpkin, might I add)!


Cute!


This is out in our back yard. Henry loves to play with the leaves. You can't even see our yard any more though. Every where you see green in this picture is now covered in leaves. Henry is having a field day lately as long as his allergies are held at bay with a steady supply of claritin!


Back yard fun!


And this was at CVS a few days ago. He just looked too cute to not snap a picture! The carts there are smaller than at other stores, but he still looks like such a big boy!!

And it keeps going!


This is the East Coast right now. Everything is beautiful and colorful! Fall has always been my favorite season, but only because I love the colors in the stores. To see what inspires that is really impressive! You all need to book a trip out next October and see for yourselves.


This was last weekend on a spur of the moment trip to Fredrick (about an hour away) for Cracker Barrel pancakes. There's a denny's down the road, but they have terrible food. You can't go wrong with Cracker Barrel. In this picture Henry is showing off his latest trick- mimicking! He mimicks everything I have done this past week. As a result he now says 'mama, gaga, blah, ba-by, baba,' and finally 'dada'. Needless to say Rob's heart is exploding!


Henry on the rockers outside.


Henry and Daddy in the foliage!


He seems to have grown so much this week! He's talking to us in the car and he knows which songs he likes to listen to and which ones he doesn't (Big John Mayer fan, not so much for Coldplay). He's just such a big boy these days!

End.


We have gone a little nuts. This is our second weekend in a row that we've gone to Fredrick for some Cracker Barrel pancakes!


But this time Henry got to wear his monkey hat! It's getting chilly here and the wind is cold, and to make my mother proud, we bought him a very warm hat with ear covers. Bonus, it's a monkey and therefore was made for him!


And while we were on our trip of crazy, we thought 'what the heck! lets go to PA!' and so we did. Gettysburg is very beautiful and huge! It would takes days to see it all of it, but I think it would be worth it. There are placards and monuments everywhere that say things like "half a mile in front of you was Pickett's last attack, and 5,000 men were killed" and crazy things like that.


Us on the battlefield.


We had to get going sooner than Rob would have wanted to though. Henry's cheeks and nose were turning pink! But his ears were very warm!!

He is my kid!

If there was ever a question about it, tonight it was answered. We bought a mesh feeder for Henry today, because he's VERY weird about putting things in his mouth so he's not really chewing things. These little mesh feeders are a nifty little invention that we can put fresh fruit or veggies in and he can learn to chew them without choking to death. This afternoon we put in cut up pear without a great response, but this evening I put a little chunk of pickle in it- BIG fan! He gnawed that piece into pulp! He'd eaten a piece before out of my hand without the feeder, and wouldn't leave me alone while I ate because he wanted more. So now we know Henry's favorite snack! Well that and chocolate animal crackers. He got a hold of one of those at the park from my friend Rachel last week and nearly bit my hand off trying to eat it ALL!



Yummy!!

He kept trying to crawl and hang on to it at the same time. Like I said, BIG fan!

And yes that is marker on his face. We were practicing for his Halloween costume and it's not coming completely off... Whoops!
