Today's snack: cantaloupe

{naptime}

Henry has been trying his hardest to pull himself up in his crib so I took the camera along yesterday when I went to get him from his nap... this is what I found.

Christmas Festivities.

Christmas at home was the best! We had such a wonderful time. Christmas Eve was sunny and beautiful outside so Henry and I spent a little time in the backyard on a blanket enjoying the sunshine. We went to the candlelight service at church that afternoon and then came home to enjoy BLTs. Santa stopped at the Dockendorfs Christmas Eve and brought Henry lots of fun toys! His favorite was Rody his bouncy horse. Daddy got Henry a walker which he is showing lots of interest in using it these days. Henry got books, a clapper alligator, a few clothes, and a backpack. After presents we enjoyed omelets and orange juice. I spent the rest of the day cooking a turkey and "fixins" as they are known around these parts. =) ha! It was such a great time!

Happy New Year!

Dear Santa....

We took Henry to see Santa Claus one evening... he seemed a bit unimpressed with all the hub-bub. Ha! Not even a hint of a smile out of him. It was lots of fun for Jared and I though!

Quick Trip to Auburn

Last week my family came to town and it was action packed! We took a little trip down to Auburn, Alabama and had lunch, went shopping, and took a little walk around the campus. I captured some pictures of my dad and sister with Henry.

Stay tuned for Henry's pictures with Santa.... ho ho ho!

Movin' & Groovin'

It has been a pretty rainy week so far, so Henry and I have been playing inside a lot these days. Today I tried getting some fun playtime pictures and he was rolling all over the place! And last night he was on all fours! He didnt quite know what to do from there but I know it is only a matter of days until I am chasing him all over the house. Also I was DETERMINED to get a picture of those two cute little bottom teeth he now has and I was successful!

Half a Year

My little fella is going to be 6 months old tomorrow! WOW, has time flown by and last night I was looking at pictures from each month (birth through now) and the changes and achievements he has accomplished since birth is truly incredible! I had absolutely NO clue that I would fall head over heels in love with a short fat toothless bald man.

Speaking of toothless, Henry actually has not one by 2 little bottom teeth coming in! I noticed the first one on October 28 while running my finger across his gums and OUCH, there it was just poking through his little gums. Another accomplishment (for me rather), I have finally put him in the church nursery and also our bible study childcare! I chickened out once or twice but finally was able to make the plunge 2 weeks ago! He did great of course! Henry LOVES other children! He smiles and reaches out to touch them, it's so sweet.

And finally I know that I wrote about how much he LOVES solids in my last blog, but this child cant get enough! Everything I have fed him he eats with gusto! Green beans, avocado, banana, apple, pears, zucchini, sweet potato, and carrots. I am so happy that I have such a good little eater! I have also started teaching him how to hold and drink out of a cup which he loves his little sips of cold water!

Still just a little bun in the oven.
