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. 

Busy Busy Family Weekend!

This weekend was full of love and family and happiness.  

And it was busy. 

(The night before was Jessica's shower at our house... so tack this on after that!)

Friday was Brookley and Nick's wedding day! 

Complete with a beautiful Temple Sealing.

One of the best bouquets I've ever seen. 

A luncheon with tacos and cupcakes.  Who could ask for anything more. 

About a third of the grand babies pictured here.

Father/ Son competition already begins. 

A reception decked out to the T.  To the T.  Don't know what that means.

Didn't get enough pictures.

But here's Henry sweetin' on Gma Dorathy before the party. 

That night Henry got passed around so much that I missed him and by 8:30 I stopped letting people hold him.  He and I just sat at our table and snuggled cheek to cheek.  Literally. 

Then Henry went to bed extremely too late for the second night in a row. 

Saturday morning started off sweet and simple.  And then we raced off to Ben's 3rd birthday party.

He was Daniel Tiger. 

The best part was when he went to get his costume on after swimming and there was this big announcement and he ran out and everyone cheered for Daniel Tiger. 

Henry swam in the cold water! 

And then had enough. 

Okay- we then took a quick visit over to Fat Cats (what is this place.) to see a ton of Hunter's friends from high school because their 10 year reunion was also this day.  We didn't go to that.  But we did see good friends at the bowling lanes at Fat Cats. (What IS this place.)

I ditched Henry and Hunter for a couple hours to watch the General Women's Meeting.  

I got some gems of knowledge that night that literally (used twice now in this post) have already and will change my life forever.  Perspective.  Perspective.  

Then raced home for the second party at our house this week.  

Sarah hosted a surprised 30th birthday party for her husband Benson (Hunter's brother) at our house since they moved up to Lakeside.  

One of the funniest times I’ve ever had with the Garners.  We did a lip synching competition. In which I decided to participate right at the end of the performances (singing party in the USA).  And then I got voted to the finals! Haha.  I won the competition with “RESPECT by Aretha Franklin”.  Totally worth it because I won a Gecko Grill gift card!! 

Meanwhile- Henry is awake.  And he didn’t eat at 8pm when he woke up from his evening nap.  I felt sooooooo bad later when I realized I forgot to feed him! By 11pm I took him to our room and he sucked on for dear life! He was so hungry but was being so amazing at the party! He fell asleep eating and even tho he had a huge poop and swam that day- we took him right to bed without a bath.  He ended up screaming out and crying every 2-4 hours the whole night! 

This has never happened with him. 

We didn’t have to get up but he was super restless and thus we were too. 

Henry participated by jumping to "Henry the VIII" by Herman's Hermits. 

Sunday morning after we woke up, I sneaked Henry into our bed to feed him before church.  He fell asleep in bed and it was darling.  I took a picture.  He never sleeps in bed with us so it was extra cute to see him all tiny wrapped in our big bed. 

Sunday night we got back in business with Henry and he slept like a champ all night.  

But that weekend! Man. Full to the max!
