Okay, I know I should come up with more clever titles than just a date, but I figure it is probably time to stop with how many weeks old Henry is since he is about to hit a full 4 months this week, so a date it is! We had a good week despite the fact that on Tuesday Henry got what I think is his first cold, although it could also be early signs of teething. Jury is still out on that, and we may never know! He has been his normal sweet self and has not run a fever, but has been snotty (sorry for the details), sneezing and coughing. The worst day was Tuesday, so I skipped Bible study to stay home with him, but the runny nose has continued. The doc says there is nothing they can do for just a cold, so we will just have to wait it out. I know they can last a while and so can teething! Poor little guy-he has been a real trooper.
Henry also got completely out of his swaddle one night this week. Ugg! The dreaded event that everyone has warned me about! He is such an excellent sleeper, but does not do quite as well un-swaddled (he just rubs and rubs his face and can't stop!), so after trying him out of it for the rest of the night and then a nap, I decided to just swaddle tighter and hope it lasts even a few more weeks! I think this happened because the little guy is getting more active, and he's arching his back all the time and trying to move! I think it is only a matter of time before he starts to roll over.
He also has been really playing with his toys now...like in a much more intentional way. Before now, it has been an accident when he gets a toy in his mouth, but now we can see him took at a toy and concentrate on it when it is near him, move his hands toward it, grab it, and move it to his mouth...all really quickly! He certainly keeps us entertained.
We had a pretty uneventful week of just hanging out and spending time together! Enjoy the pics below...

| On Monday night we went to dinner with small group to celebrate some June B-days. In the middle of eating, I looked over and Henry had fallen asleep just like this while Steven was holding him! Everyone died laughing, because he just looked so funny...we said he needed a remote control in one hand and a bag of potato chips in the other:) |
 |
| Happy birthday Sarah and Karen! |
 |
| Chloe is getting SO big!! I would watch out for that weird guy, too, Chloe. |
 |
| We had another shady swim time this week, and Henry was much more active in the water. He kicked, splashed, and tried to stand. |
 |
| He doesn't look like he is having fun, but I promise he was! He was just mesmerized by the water. :) |
 |
| The pictures below are all of Henry playing with his toys in his crib. He was just so cute I couldn't stop taking pictures, then I couldn't decide which ones to add to the blog, so I just decided to add them all:) Each facial expression is special (in my humble, Momma loves her baby kind of way)! |
 |
| These pictures are kind of the same situation...we were in the middle of a diaper change and, well, a naked baby is just really hard NOT to photograph! And, of course, I couldn't decide which ones NOT to include, so there you have it! I included them all. |
 |
| His toys are getting more and more fun, and he is intentionally grabbing at them now when they dangle above him. Here he is concentrating on one....planning his attack I am sure. |
 |
| We went to an ice cream social on Saturday....I only got a few pics, but at least I got a few! Alex is 8 months old. |

| Chillin' |

| Connor is showing me his cars sunglasses. Cool. |
