8 months

Henry, we can't believe you are already 8 months.  I have a feeling we will be saying that every month for the rest of our lives.  It's amazing how fast time flies.

My favorite thing you are doing right now is the way you show me or someone else you love them.  You reach for my face, pull me closer, and lean your head in as you give me a big wet open mouth slobbery kiss.  I can't get enough of it.  You are truly the sweetest little boy.

We love you very much and are so proud to be your parents.

Nana and Grandad Visit

Nana and Grandad were up from North Carolina and couldn't wait to see you!  They came this past Sunday and spent the day with you.  You were spoiled with some Tarheel gifts, of course!  Mommy is training you early to be a fan of the Heels.  We say this often, but it's funny for Mommy and Mama to watch you when a man is in the room.  You seem to be a man's man already.

First Easter

Easter Sunday was nice.  We went to church with Nana and Pop, had time at home as a family, and then went over to the McIntyre's for Easter dinner.  It was nice and relaxing and you enjoyed sitting at the table like a big boy.  You were so proud of yourself!  The Easter Bunny made a surprise visit!  You were excited and very curious as to who he was.  We took pictures with you and your cousins.

In attendance:  Nana and Pop, Mommy and Mama, Aunt Laruen and Uncle Dan with Avery, Kieran and Reese, Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre, and Kevin and Christine.

Under the weather

You had your first fever yesterday and today.  We know your not feeling well because your naps are averaging 2 hours right now and usually your maxed out at 45 minutes:)  Of course, you're still the same sweet boy; laughing a lot, playing, talking, eating and sleeping well.  You LOVE the outdoors especially saying hi to all of the birdies and watching them do their daily routines.  Mommy and Mama love you so much.  We hope you feel better soon.  Nana and Pop will come and take care of you tomorrow.  I added the photos below from last weekend.  A UPENN mom made you that hat.

Henry's 1st Brunch

Kerri and I have been wanting to try this charming new brunch spot Kettle.  We decided that Sunday, April 7 would be the day!  Boy has life changed.  We opened up the joint, 7:15 AM table of 3.  Hank was smiling from ear to ear as he sat like a big boy in his highchair; head barely above the table.  By 8 AM the place was packed and Henry had everyone doting all over him.  He couldn't get enough of the wall of windows, the table next to us with an expecting mother and 1st time grandparents, and the chipped beef and fries to his left.  As always, Henry you are such a good boy.  We can't wait until next weekend to take you to your first coffee spot.
