New Tricks

Look who is now pulling himself up to standing.  This was the first time he had done this and I caught him in the act and snapped a few pictures.  This was on July 2nd.  Since then all he does is pull himself up to standing on anything and everything he can.  He also has begun climbing the stairs.  Seriously?  Slow down!  This little guy is everywhere and into everything!  And check out those thighs.  Don't you just want to squeeze them?  I do too, and so I do...All Day Long.

Baby Henry also got his first tooth last Friday.  Teething has been rough for both baby and mama.  Let's hope the other one is right behind and then we both get a little break for awhile.

Baby in a Bowl

Why put a baby in a bowl?  Just because you can, I guess.  Raife was in another one but was getting fussy so he didn't last for the picture.  He looks like he just cracked out of an egg....

Henry's Baptism

On July 1st, Henry was baptised at our church, Sunnyside Presbyterian, the same church that Magnolia, Boothe and I were baptised.  He wore the same gown as the girls.  Our families came to church that morning and then we all went out to brunch at Sorin's on the campus of Notre Dame.  I just love these times of family celebrations.  How blessed and loved we are.

 Henry looks a little worried here.  Not sure if it's the water that's about to be poured on his head or the fact that I put him in a dress in front of all these people!

 He fell asleep right after he was baptised and slept through the rest of the service and afterwards while we were getting some pictures.  He woke up once I passed him to my mom so everyone else could get their picture with the special guy.

 Magnolia wanted to get her chance to hold him and get a picture! ha
