Hey Henry, guess who's coming to see you...

Is it Santa Claus?

Is it the Tooth Fairy??

No! It's my DADDY!!!!!
We miss you Daddy! We can't wait to see you tomorrow!!

I'm here!!... Now where's my dad?

I got to hang out with my Grandma Dane! She's so funny!!

This is my partner in crime, Maelie!

And I got to meet my new friend Kendall!! She's so nice. We held hands!

But I can't wait to see my Daddy! I love big handsome Daddy!!

2 more days!!

'Is it time yet Mom?'

"I'm all packed guys! See you in two days!"

3 more days... and we're packing!

"I have to pack my rod and reel so I can go fishing with Papa."

"I am so excited to go see the BIG animals with Maelie."

"And I need to get ready for Uncle Drew's party!"

"But I'm really going to miss this guy. I love my Daddy!"

No one makes Henry happier than his Daddy. By the way, can you see any resemblance?

4 more days

I love this profile.

How gigantic do his feet look?! These shoes are still a little too big, but the kid has big feet!

What child of ours could not wear flip flops??

Henry's Room

Henry's helping

'Uh, Mommy, your last post was wrong. It wasn't eleven days, it was ten!'

'Here use this if you need help counting!'

I was so excited to get Henry in his spaceman jammies. I thought they were a 6, but they were a 3 so they should have fit perfectly. Instead, Henry's foot tried making a break for it and the market piggy made it out!

Tomorrow is eleven?!

Holy cow! I'll say it again, Holy Cow! Tomorrow is eleven days until Henry and I go back to Dallas. Let me tell you I am excited about going home to see everyone. And especially excited to take Maelie to see the big animals, but I haven't even thought of the logistics. Am I asking for trouble? You bet! I typically go into every situation with as little preparation as possible (or so it seems) so I'm confused by this new feeling sweeping over me as I think about packing for myself and a kid that throws up 87 times a day for 9 days. I think they call this feeling panic. Add in bottles, pacis, diapers, back up clothes for weird weather and my head is positively spinning! Look out friends and family, this train wreck is about to commence!

Kisses for everyone!!

One for me...

And one for you!

Just laying around

And my latest trick... GRABBING!

My first Mother's Day!

These were actually taken at the end of the day. I am so blessed to have Henry in my life. Thank you sweet baby for letting me be your Mommy. It's the best job I've ever had!

Happy Birthday Growly Bear!

It's a little early, but I wanted you to know I love you and am wishing you a very happy birthday Uncle Kyle!!

I can't wait to see you again!

Henny's nekkid!

"Hey it's you guys! Good to see ya."

"Wasssuuuup!"

Henry's red blanket.

Henry's gone GREEN! This is one of my new favorite onsies. It's 100% organic from WalMart, so hey 'Go Earth!', but I like it because it says 'Be Nice to Your Mama'

4 month check up today!

Henry went in for his four month check up today, and other than some really yucky reflux (which is going to send us to Walter Reed for an appointment with a specialist) he's doing great! He's in between 50-75% of weight and 75 for height, and 90% for that giant noggin! He weighs in at a respectable 15 lbs, 7 1/2 oz and 25 1/4 inches tall! He can roll from his back to his tummy over either side like its nothing, and sits with little support!
It is amazing how big and strong he's getting. Watching him figure things out, like grasping things and holding his own hands is so exciting for all of us! We can't believe how blessed we are to have such a healthy, strong little monster! We also can't believe there are only 20 days until we get to see everyone again! Yea!!

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!
