Cousins

"Uh, Dad, what is this kid doing?"

A face only a mother could love...

We're mainly talking about Jake here as Henry still maintains his cuteness even in this state.

Playing Catch Up

After two grueling weeks of work (okay there were three snow days in there), it's Spring Break! Here's what we have been up to lately.

Henry's first trip to the beach. He didn't think the biting wind was all that cool and spent most of the trip asleep in the front pack- except for when we took him out for a super cool picture of him in his moose suit.




After much consideration, our serious observer has decided to lighten up a bit and show us that charming smile more and more. He's even graced our ears with baby giggles, but isn't ready to publicly admit it.

Henry was less than pleased with our March snowfall. Or maybe he just wasn't into the tiger Halloween costume that we forced him to wear.

Growing, growing, growing...

Yes, it is true, Henry is huge! Don't you dare get in between this dude and his food.

At three months, Henry is fascinated by his hands and by our fake fireplace. He loves to stare at his mobile and for awhile was sleeping through the night. However, now knowing that his dearest mama is going back to work, he has decided it would be best for everyone if he only slept until for a few hours at a time. Oh dear, this going back to work thing is going to be interesting!

Henry and Jake

For the last three months, we've been saying that Henry looks just like his daddy. We stumbled across an old baby photo of Jake last week and really thought the two of them looked a lot like. Then we tried to recreate Jake's baby photo with Henry and that is when we realized that maybe, just maybe, Henry might not look just like daddy. Could it be that there really is some of me in him as well?

I think my heart just might explode. Dang this kid gets better and better every day (and he, of course, was perfect from day one!).

On a sadder note, Hank the Tank (we're trying to come up with a nickname that is not Hen because what child wants to be called Hen?)has been coughing so hard at night that he ends up puking. Needless to say, my 6 hour at time night sleeper has been waking up much more frequently but at least he's finding something to smile about during the day!

Valentine's Day

Henry was one sick dude on his first Valentine's Day. He had a not so lovely little cough and was fairly miserable all day.
Lucky for us all he wants is sleep and extra cuddles when he's not feeling well.

(Contrary to popular belief the temperature in our house didn't actually warrant the wearing of hoods...)
