Our Summer is Off to a Great Start with a Visit from Uncle Will

I am really enjoying my time off, and I love to think that I still have over 2 1/2 months before I go back to work.  I could really get used to staying at home with my little boy every day.  Nick might have to drag me back to work kicking and screaming :)  Henry is on the verge of crawling now.  You can tell that he is really wanting to figure it out and get moving.  I tell everyone that Oscar Mayer is in for a rude awakening when Henry starts crawling.  Henry is always looking for Oscar.  Those two are best buddies!

Henry is getting the hang of drinking from his sippy cup.  We fill it with water during his meals.  He looks like such a big boy using it!  He also has a new tooth on the top left side of his mouth.  This makes 3 teeth total now.  He is also starting to chew his food when he eats.  It is so cute watching him eat!  He makes a "mmmmm" sound after every bite :)

Will came home this past week, and Henry loved seeing his Uncle Will.  We spent a lot of time at mom and dad's, and yesterday Henry got in his kiddie pool for the first time.  He loved it!  I knew he would because he loves being in the water when he takes his baths.

My First Mother's Day

I have had an absolutely wonderful Mother's Day weekend!  My boys really do know how to spoil me :)  I was showered with gift cards and a kiddie pool for Henry and I to hang out in this summer. 

Nick and I took Henry to the zoo for the first time yesterday.  The zoo is my absolute favorite place to go on a nice day, and I hope that Henry will grow to love it as much as I do.  Henry loved petting the goats at the petting zoo.  He is wanting to touch and feel everything he sees right now.

 After the zoo, we went out for dinner, and Henry sat in a highchair at the restaurant for the first time.  He loved sitting at the table with Nick and I and kept reaching for the loaf of bread on the table ;) 

Today, we went over to Lexi and Mike's house this afternoon where Henry met his great-grandma Voss for the first time.  This evening we went to mom and dad's house to celebrate mother's day.  Henry was exhausted by the end of the day and fell asleep in the car on the way home.  We had such a fun-filled family weekend.

Earlier this week, Henry celebrated his half-birthday.  He went to the doctor for his 6 month check-up and weighed 22 lbs. 14 oz. He was 27 3/4 inches long.  Our little boy is growing so fast.  He is currently wearing size 18 month clothes.  He has now started consistently rolling over.  He tried eating hamburger this week and did not like it at all so we are going to try chicken this week.  He loves eating frozen bananas out of his mesh feeder and is starting to get the hang of chewing his sweet potato puffs.  I only have two days of work left, and I am so anxious to start my summer break with my little babe.  I cannot wait to spend all day every day with my sweet little boy!
