Aggie Baby

Mimi got Henry some cute A&M overalls so of course we had to take a few pictures.


He is getting better at sitting in the Bumbo seat.

The brothers love to play together.

Crazy Owen

Big four month old boy!

In other news, Rachel got a new hair cut.  She got it started on one side for us.  I actually really like it, though I wasn't initially pleased when I found her with the scissors.

Sweet sleepy baby

Look Whose Skin Has Cleared Up!

At Henry's check-up last week, we got some new recommendations from the doctor on treating his eczema.  It has really helped.  He is looking great!

She is such a big girl!

Even More May Fun

It is getting close to summer so we tried the pool at the YMCA after Oma and Opa had to head back to Mandeville.

Owen was excited to go...he was less excited when he found out how cold the water was because the weather has been so nice and cool.  I guess we will try again now that it is warmer.

Henry isn't big enough for swimming, but that did not stop me from dressing him in cute swim clothes.  His hat looks a bit like a bonnet in this picture, but he has such a sweet smile I am posting it anyway.

In other events, Henry still really likes to nap and spend time in his bouncy seats (one for upstairs and one for downstairs).

The Thinker

Owen trying to recapture his youth by getting into the baby seat. He thought it was fun.  He loves to bring me the seat whenever I am holding Henry.  He points to the seat and says "Baby" or "'enri" to let me know what I need to do with the seat.  He is a great big brother.

He also knows that Henry needs to open his mouth for his paci.  He shows him how to do it and then helps put it in his mouth.  Sometimes he is even successful.

Henry was not so sure seeing the paci coming at him.

Rachel's first school year is almost over so her class had a splash party.  She had a lot of fun.  Here she is at the top of the slide for her first trip down.

Enjoying all the snacks.

Climbing up for possibly the 50th time.

Splash!!

Fun times splashing in our yard as well.

Henry

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still here.  We have celebrated two birthdays this month and pictures are coming soon.  In the meantime, here is a sweet smile from Henry after his bath tonight.

 

Sweet Baby Henry

Henry has been getting much more interactive when he is awake.  He even has smiles for us now.  Here are some pictures we have taken over the last week or so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Henry's First Trip to the Zoo

Wes is relaxing this weekend riding his bike to Austin.  So, I am on my own with the kids.  It was a beautiful day and possibly one of the last cool days for a long time so we headed to the zoo.  It seems the rest of Houston thought it was a good idea, too.  Once we were parked and in, though, we had a great time.

Henry did not wake up until we were almost back home.  Overall, I think he liked the zoo.
