Striped Teething

Apparently Henry is teething in this striped romper.  I just love it and I don't want him to grow out of it without a good wear!

But yeah.  He's teething.  Poor King Henry.  Really he's doing quite well.  Lots of sleeping.  Some crankiness that gets put to rest with a dose of Tylenol.  And he still sleeps through the night.  So we're good.

Photos lately....

Quite unhappy about that tooth! 

I swear he loved the swing.  I think his face is from the wind and sun. 

Our week in October

These boys let me join them last Saturday at the Gilbert Farmer's Market.

Taking his first turn in Grandma's high chair!

Being adorable. 

Having a rough day.  So we sat on the couch and watched TV.  Yikes! This was the first time I let him watch.  I'm glad he only paid attention for about 10 minutes.  Don't want him to get TV yet.  But really.  He was having a rough Monday.

Out to lunch for Grandma's birthday! Drooooooooool! 

Reading with Daddy before bed.  His hand! 

Henry "drinks" with his sippy cup while we have meals.  

Nona came over to make sugar pumpkin cookies! 

Us.  

He's a reacher now. 

Out to dinner with Nona and Abuelito! 

Busy busy baby! 

Having a laugh in his new plaid pants. 

Impromptu Family Photos

We were all in a really good mood after conference. Who isn't?! 

So we enjoyed the good weather and snapped a bunch of photos.  

 The best part was my dad taping his iphone to his old tripod to get most of these.

It started simple.

Then some selfies.

Then the tripod.

Oh the timer....

Henry's First General Conference

He's so spiritual. Look how he watches so nicely. 

But we all get distracted sometimes. 

Baby Cousins

Whitman and Henry.

The tongues.

The chins.

The eyes.

The love.

Five Month Henry

Not-so-little man is five months now.

Henry is pure happiness.

He is all smiles.

He loves it when he eats and I sing to him.

He stares right at me with his big blue eyes and I know he feels the spirit.

Henry loves everyone.

Henry just does good stuff.

And he looks just like my baby pictures in this shoot. 

I love this boy forever.

He's done.

Over and out, mom.

 Such a fabulous night!
