47 Weeks Old and Trip to L.A.

Since we're all pretty sick here, this post will have to suffice for both Henry's weekly picture as well as our trip to Los Angeles. Overall our trip was really, really fun. The wedding was beautiful (top picture) and we got to take a little trip to Hermosa Beach. The not so fun part was that during the trip is when Henry started to get sick. Luckily, Brett and I didn't start to get sick until we got home. Henry was awesome on the airplane especially considering he was ill. I just wish we could have stayed longer to see more of the sights in L.A....but not if we were going to get sick!

46 Weeks Old

Here is the picture of Henry taken last Thursday...

Update

Illness has overtaken our house. We're all sick - updates to follow.

Early Valentine's Day Party

The group that offers the sign langauge class we took a couple months ago had a Valentine's Day themed get together for all past and present students of any of their courses. We attended and had a blast! There was quite a turnout! Easily 75 people, maybe more. We saw a family that was in our class and talked to them for awhile as well as Henry's teacher. This video is of Henry sitting in Brett's lap and listening to the live music. Unfortunately, I forgot that there's not a way to turn video like there is to turn pictures, so it appears sideways on your screen. If anyone knows of a way to turn it, let me know....otherwise just tilt your head to the left or turn the computer screen onto its left side!!

Ride 'em, Cowboy!

This week at the indoor play gym/play group I took a video of Henry riding that little horse he loves so much. The best part is at the beginning, after that he gets distracted by some other kids playing.

45 Weeks Old

We just got these pajamas for Henry last Sunday on a shopping trip with Gigi and my Aunt Joan. They are the cutest p.j.s he's had yet. Henry had a bad reaction to the shots he had yesterday. He got a fever and was so tired. Poor guy. I gave him infant Motrin and that seemed to help, but he's still really tired. Otherwise, all is well and we're on a countdown to his one year birthday!! The second picture here cracks me up - he got out of the bathtub tonight and it looked like he had a really bad hairpiece on the top of his head, so I had to get a picture of him.

10 Month Check-Up

Actually there's really no such thing as a 10 month check-up but because of Henry's alternate immunization schedule he went in to the doctor and had his last Polio shot and Prevnar shot. So we also got him weighed and he's weighing in at 19 pounds, 3 ounces. He has now had all the vaccines that a six-month old would have if they followed the recommended guidelines. It is quite reassuring to know he has had all his shots and that he had them at a slow and delayed pace. Why take the chance? is my opinion.

The bottom picture shows him in his "crawling" position...getting ready to really move although he hasn't started technically crawling yet. He has, though, pulled himself up on the coffee table and on the drawers in his room.
