4 months old!

This is Henry yesterday on his 4 month birthday! He got a new Hop on Pop bear from Grandpa David and he loves it!

Getting ready for Chapel!

We took some new pictures outside this afternoon. The weather here has been great lately and Henry loves to hang out outside!

Henry and Mommy

Is it football?

Yesterday evening we took Henry to his first soccer game to watch JonJon and Mary. Look! He's a natural!

Sad face! I think he wanted to play too.

JonJon took time out of the game to come over to his biggest fan. Henry was flattered!

Henry's game face.

Good news! Team Unangst (also known as team Biers) won!! We'll see you guys next Wednesday! Good luck friends!!

A guest, and a new find!

Read it and weep Daddy! :)

"Why won't you go in my mouth?!"

Henry has found his foot, and he's thrilled with it! He won't sit up in his Bumbo chair anymore because of this new discovery. Every time I sit him in it he slouches over to grab at his foot. He's not quite coordinated enough to get it, but when he does... watch out world!

"Oh, hey Mom. Good to see ya."

Henry's visitor! He took to Beth Anne like a duck to water! He especially likes the game where he would tug on her hair!

And this is his newest friend! We call him Jaba

(Jeremy and Beth Anne, clever I know)

Now, we were slightly disappointed with the comment count from the last posting. Henry's feelings are a little bruised. I assured him that you must all have been very busy, but you'll make up for it this time.

Don't make me a liar to my kid!

Henry Ryan as... Henry Ryan

This is Henry in his big boy bed!! His friends came to keep him company for his first night!

This is his room right now. It's a work in progress, but we have the bed made up for visitors so come on up!!

While Grammy was here we took the jumparoo outside so Henry could hang out while we ate. He spent most of the time sucking on the frog seat!

Two days is Too short!

Henry's Grammy came and spent the last 48 hours with us and we had a great time. She got some Henry time, and mom and dad got to pick up the house a little bit. Win, win. We were so sad to take Grammy back to the airport, but now we're counting down the days until we get to come home and see everybody else!
Tomorrow there will be pictures!!

A day in the sun

This is Henry enjoying a lazy day outside. It was really bright out so Rob and I stood in front of him to block it so that he would open his eyes. It looks like he appreciated it!

Here he is just hanging out in the blue flowers!

There are beautiful flowers blooming on the trees around here and we couldn't resist snapping a few shots with our favorite boy!

Again in the blue flowers!

And this is one of my new favorites! I love this baby!

He's so big!

The following video proves it! Today is one of the proudest days of Rob and my lives. It was so exciting to see Henry's big accomplishment! I can't believe how strong and smart and big he's getting, and how quick it's all happening! My baby can roll over! I am amazed at him. We just watch in awe over his every movement. He's growing more everyday and it's amazing to be a part of it. I feel so blessed to watch Henry and cheer him on. It makes me wonder if this is how God feels about us. Watching His children and cheering us on to grow in Him. I can only hope He's half as proud of what He sees in us.

Henry Rolls Over!

Henry Laughs!

Today as we were trying to film Henry's attempts to
roll over, he came down with quite a giggle...

The Birthday Girl!

Has it really been two years since this sweet face made her appearance?! I remember the day (night) Maelie was born. It was so exciting to know she was coming and so frantic trying to get to Ft. Worth before she was born! The minute I saw her I loved her. She was such a beautiful baby with the most precious little mouth and button nose! What a blessing that day was!

Maelie was so funny at her first birthday party! She was far more interested in visiting than opening presents. She's such a social butterfly! Rob and I were so excited to get to come home and be apart of her big day. It was so great to see her walking!

And here she is now! Grammy took this when she woke up this morning. I love Maelie so much and hope she has the best second birthday ever!!

He's back!

We had to take a blogging break because we had a visitor!!

Ms. Julie came to see us and we had so much fun!

This is Julie doing a song from Hairspray while we were in Baltimore... She's very talented!

And these are just silly pics of the boy! He's talking in this one. He talks ALL the time now!

Cont'd

I took this one yesterday. He's getting so big!

This is Henry in his Bumbo chair! Holy cow!

He loves this chair. When you lay him on his Boppy now he grunts trying to sit up.

This is Henry today in the nursery at Bible study. All the ladies are amazed at how laid back he is!

Day 3

So I have worked for 2 days and this is where I stand. Yuck. However, there are only 10 unopened boxes left in the house! I feel that is an accomplishment. And yes, that is Henry asleep in the carseat on the couch. My feeling is 'if he's asleep, let him be!'

I don't know what 'let him be' means...

Garage sale pile! Who wants my junk?

This is my kitchen. All of it. Yeah, it's small.

And this is my monster! He's wearing a long sleeve thermal shirt!

Catching up this week!

This is our house on the beginning of Day One!

It's pretty bare, but we've been running on basically nothing since we left California.

So we are very excited that this morning the big truck rolled up full of all of our crap!

Wahoo crap!

I think Rob was more impressed that he can still wrap these belts around himself than anything else!

Henry and I were very excited/tired after the busy day! This was his first time to be on our couches! And as you can see, our back patio is loooooaded with more crap!

800 sq ft. vs. 1600 sq ft of crap..... Yikes.

Henry says, "Wahoo crap!"

It's been a busy day and we'll keep you posted with our progress. We have to get this under control... Miss Julie is coming to visit on Friday! Yea!!!!

My first trip to the nursery!

Mom made me dress up to go to nursery while she went to Bible study, because she didn't want to look like slacker mom. But when I got there everyone else was in footie pjs! Next week, I'm going comfy!

I have to admit I look good though!

Yeah, I'm a cutie...

Hey guys!

just a few silly pictures from this morning!

Henry's 1st Easter!

Henry with his Easter basket!

Church was loud!!

Then lunch at Chevy's

And finally at home chillin' in my boppy with my bunny!
