Pickle Love

Here are some recent shots of Henry enjoying his Pickle side of the family. He loved meeting Wig and Linda a few weeks ago and will meet Tom and Sheri pretty soon. I love this first picture. Jan took it when I arrived to pick up Henry after being away from him for the first night ever! It was a special little moment. Also to note... He looks pretty cute napping under his Aunt Lori's Emory sweatshirt... If you are wondering, he is going to be a green dinosaur with orange spots for halloween.. pictures to come. Oh, and Hank's new favorite thing is to try to eat the dog food right out of the bowl. Yes, mobility has its perks.

Hank in the Great Outdoors

A couple of weeks ago we went hiking and cave-exploring. Henry had a great time and was his usual charming self. He met Jordan and Janet for the first time this week. I think they liked him quite a bit. They are expecting in a few weeks! He was also a hit at Vickie Jubang's wedding. He was great during the ceremony, except he kept making "happy" sounds, so Ben had to take him to hang out elsewhere. He is becoming an expert crawler and is pulling up to stand! Tonight will be my first night away from him. I'm going to give a speech in Mississippi and will not be bringing him with me for the first time. I'm sad, but also kind of excited to have a whole night to myself- the first in many many months...

Hank is Mobile.

Henry has just started crawling. Yes, we encourage it, but how mobile do we really want him to be? I mean, currently, his most prominent and questionable skill is his ability to find the only dangerous thing around him and immediately transfer it to his mouth. There will be twenty toys in front of him and all he wants is the lamp cord.

Last weekend, we dressed him up for the longhorn game. No, we never thought we would be the type of parents to dress up our kid for sporting events, but here we are. After all, it's the horns, and it was pretty damn cute! And they won, so maybe it will be a tradition. This month has been crazy with the move. but we're loving our new house and henry has been a trooper as usual. We'll post some pics soon of the house. It's all coming together, but it's been a long process. This weekend is Henry's first camping trip! Hopefully he'll have a good time and he will sleep a bit and we won't run afoul of any cougars or anything. Pics of the trip to come...
