We have teeth!!!

Henry has two teeth coming in on the bottom of his mouth.  He has been a slobbering fool and wanting to put absolutely everything in his mouth.  He has been a tough little boy though and hasn't fussed much at all.  He loves when his Grandpa Mulligan comes to pick him up in the mornings.  He smiles so big every time he sees him.  He is really loving his sweet potatoes and is eating solid foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

I am counting down the days until summer break.  I can't wait to spend all day every day with my little boy.  Mom and dad asked me today if I was going to work this summer because they are going to go through Henry withdrawls :)

Today was such a fun day!  Nick, Henry, Katie, Eric, mom, dad, and I went on a tour of Busch stadium.  It was Henry's first time visiting the stadium.  He had his Cardinal hat and made sure to bring Fred (Fredbird) and Ted (his Cardinals teddy bear.)  We took lots of pictures on the field and in the dugout.  Henry was such a good baby on the tour, and the weather was perfect today.  We all hung out at mom and dad's house afterwards, and Aunt Katie helped Henry roll over from his back to his tummy for the first time.

Henry  is loving his solid foods.  So far he has tried green beans and peas.  I made sweet potatoes tonight so he will get to try those tomorrow.  He has been sleeping really well too.  He sleeps about 9 hours straight every night.  He loves to look at the fishies on his music box on his crib.  He has also become very interested in Oscar Mayer.  He loves to watch Oscar run around and is starting to reach out to pet Oscar.  Oscar Mayer better watch out....little does he know that pretty soon Henry will be chasing him all over the place :)

My little boy has now moved on to veggies.  He ate his first batch of peas today.  At first, he wasn't a fan, but after mixing peas with some of his cereal, I think he really liked it.  It is so cute watching him eat with a spoon.  Such a big boy.  Right now he is playing in his jumper.  He loves that thing!  He also is loving the new fredbird stuffed animal that daddy got him yesterday. 

Lesson that mommy learned today:  feed Henry before you give him a bath.  He made such a mess eating right after bath time.  The little stinker also looked right at mommy and smiled while he peed in his bathtub tonight.  Our little boy has quite the sense of humor ;)

Okay, so I have done a terrible job of updating this blog.  So much has happened since I have last posted.  Our baby boy is now 4 months old, weighs 20 lbs. 5 oz., and is 25 1/2 inches long.  He loves to put his hands in his mouth, really anything in his mouth :)  His favorite toy is Ted, his Cardinals teddy bear.  Our big boy just started eating cereal with a spoon.  I just whipped up my first batch of baby food with the baby bullet mom and dad got me for Christmas.  Tomorrow Henry will get to try peas for the first time.  Yay!!!!  It's the little things that excite Nick and I nowadays :)
