Henry B. & Friends: 2010

Hoodie

Before we left for Seattle in May Henry tried on his hoodie to bring along for the cold weather. We think its good look for our little big-eyed bald-headed homeboy.

Punkin hat

Kelly was knitting a hat for our Seattle friends Jeff and Danielle's soon-to-be 1 year old Ari. Her first attempt fit 2-month-old Henry pretty well: I guess she needed to add a few stitches.

Henry is a baby fashionista if ever there was one. He loves to wear all kinds of cute clothes, and what he loves more than anything, if you can believe it, is to wear funky hats. Kelly knit this hat--I don't know if she intended it for Henry, but if so it's definitely something he'll have to grow into.

Here's how it would look if it fit him. Nice modeling, Henry!

Nana and Grandpa

"Go Cougs!"

Lammekins

Henry has a few different snuggly toys vying for his affection. Currently his favorite is the blue bear lovey, but this little guy, "Lammekins," is also a contender.

Getting ready for a walk with Nana

"Nana" (=Heike) and "Grandpa" (=JCBoomBoom) came at the end of April to get to know the tiny man a little bit. Here's Henry in his baby jogger getting ready to go for a walk with Nana.

Tummy time!

Henry has serious core strength. He came out holding his head up, and now he can hold himself up from the torso. But he desperately wants to crawl. When he's on his tummy, he can push up with his arms, and he can wiggle forward by shoving his face into the floor and pushing with his knees, but he can't quite push up and get his legs under him yet. He's very frustrated about this, even though we keep telling him he's not supposed to be able to do it for another three months or so. So impatient!

Sharp-dressed man

Henry has a sweater that is the envy of all babydom.
Kelly's friend Andrea Saxton from Anacortes knit it. Amazing! Henry's cup runneth over with cute baby clothes, but this one is definitely at the top of the list.

He looks good in the basic tighty-whitey-onesie too. Like a tiny macho-man. Is there such thing as "Baby Olympics"? Because he would certainly sweep the medals. I'm not just saying that because I'm biased. Seriously, bring it on.

Sleepy sweater and Stimulatron

Henry the "Snugglesaurus" has a hard time sleeping if he doesn't have something snuggled up around his head. One of Kelly's solutions was to wrap her blue sweater around him when he fell asleep on the couch.

Henry is highly entertained by his "Stimulatron." There are jangly danglies to bat with his hands and kick with his feet, and one of the danglies has a mirror so he can gaze at his beautiful baby mug while he flails around.

More April pictures

Our Tuscaloosa friends, Heather and Scott, get along famously with little Henry.

Easter morning

Cute little froggy Easter outfit, Monsieur Henri.

Henry got all dolled up to see the new blooms and celebrate the rebirth of Jesus on his first tour through the Christian calendar.

Easter Eve

Kris and Becky came to Tuscaloosa on Easter weekend to meet the tiny man. These pictures are from Easter Eve.

Time to catch up!

Wow, this picture is from over two months ago! I'm way behind on disseminating the piles of photographic cuteness that has accumulated on our harddrive, but now I'm determined to catch up, so get ready . . . round up a couple dogs, cats, and squirrells, and nail together the last few boards on your ark . . . here it comes!
