another rockin’ Friday night. I’ve got laundry in, the boys are doing this (again):

world’s best auntie

currently leading the “favorite aunt” competition is Kathy who, along with Gramma Jan, watched Henry while Jeff and I both worked until 9:00 pm last night.  Thanks, Kath!

tired boys

July 19th, 2010

Last week was a long one.  Jeff worked a ton of extra hours and Henry was going through one of those fussy growth spurts, which means he was kind of difficult and ate like a piranha for a couple of days.  The upside is that Henry has been all kinds of chatty lately-lots of cooing and noises, plus we had full on laughter last night.  We also had some of this:

a nice long weekend

Henry and I headed up to Whidbey Island to Sean’s parent’s house for the long weekend.  It was great to get away and Henry was dreamy for pretty much the entire weekend.  Lots of pictures are here, but these are a couple of my favorites:

I guess all that eating is paying off.  Henry had his 8 week checkup last week and weighed in at 14 lb, 4.8 oz and is just over 24 inches long. That’s 96th percentile in weight and 95th percentile in length.  Cripes!  At least his head circumference is normal at a mere 55th percentile.  Evidence:

He’s also slept from 11 pm-5 am the last two nights.  Six straight hours feels downright luxurious, I tell you.  Not only that, but we’re definitely moving onto a new phase that involves long naps in the morning that leave me free to do all sorts of stuff.   I feel like a normal person again!

Buddy really likes to try out all of Henry’s stuff. We had finally just cured him of trying to jump in the bassinet…

8 weeks

wow! I can’t believe how fast two months has gone by and how much Henry has grown.  We’ve taken to calling him Milk Ball.  Such a little fatty!

weekend road trip #2

June 14th, 2010

We spend the weekend in Camas with family (nephew Austin graduated from high school), but managed to sneak into Portland each day for some fun.  Saturday found Jeff and I baby-free for four whole hours and we hardly knew what to do with ourselves.  Sunday we took Henry around to some of our favorite PDX destinations.  He was clearly captivated by the whole thing:
