From Henry's first Halloween, to traveling to TN, we've had a busy past week! See below for some highlights.
|
We dressed Henry as a chicken for Halloween, and we were chicken farmers (of course). |
|
What is it about a baby in a costume that is just.so.darn.cute. |
|
He didn't mind the hood to much...it was a chilly night so we were thankful for the fleece! |
|
Henry loved that Steven and I both had "headgear" on...he kept grabbing for my bandana and Steven's hat. |
|
We met with a bunch of friends from the neighborhood and had a "progressive Halloween". We trick-or-treated between houses, then went in for a few snacks when we got to each others' houses. All the kids were so cute. Above the poultry was represented: Georgia as a duck and Henry as a chicken. |
|
Looking chicken farmer-ish, right? |
|
Ryan, Robin, and their parrot Bennett looked great!! |
|
Okay, this is a random grouping. Need I say more? |
|
The kids were hilarious. Henry is looking at Rylan like, "What's wrong, Buddy?" |
|
A close-up shot. Let's just say it was IMPOSSIBLE to get a good photo! |
|
The Chamberlains were yard ornaments: a gnome, a pink flamingo, and mother nature. |
|
I love this picture....the Welle kids came dressed as monsters, but their parents were (travesty!), not dressed up at all! We sent the to dig through a costume bin until they came up with this...a banana and a captain with a bozo tie. Classic. |
|
Henry got to pick his own candy out at one house! Good choice, baby! You can never go wrong with a snickers. |
|
The two birds playing together at our second stop. |
|
Robin and I pulled together a pretty good looking snack table at her house if I do say so myself! |
|
I was proud of my "cookie graveyard"....we had a fun (and LATE) night. Thanks everyone! |
|
On Thursday Steven went out of town for work, so Henry and headed to TN on Friday for a visit. I went by my good friend Abby's and hung out with her and her kiddos: 5 year old Ava and 2 year old Graham. |
|
Graham shared all of his toys with Henry. How sweet! |
|
Henry in one of Abby's cute decorative baskets...he,he. |
|
I just think this is a sweet picture of Graham talking to Henry and Ava patting him:) He got plenty of attention. |
|
I went to my parents for the night. We went on a walk and attempted to pull Henry in the wagon. They have a kitten now and it was cute to see Hank with it. |
|
Both are looking mischievous! |
|
This is a serious action shot that could have gone wrong but didn't: Maggie kept coming near the wagon and it freaked the kitten out. The kitten hissed and Henry is flinching! Whew! Close call! |
|
We kept having to rearrange Henry because he was literally crawling out of the wagon and leaning over the side and stuff like a danger mouse. |
|
Finally mom decided the safest thing would be just to climb in with him! |
|
I love this one of his chubby legs. This boy loves to stand. |
|
He adores swinging, too. It never fails to entertain. |
|
Back at home, here is Henry "riding" Maggie. |
|
Neither of them have any idea what is going on I don't think! |
|
Grandma came on Tuesday for a day visit! |
|
She picked Henry up from school and they played at home for a few hours, then we went to dinner all together that night. What a blessing living so close to family is! |
|
Here I was just trying to capture how Henry is starting to really become more mobile and tries to pull up. |
|
Getting there! |
|
He is all poised and ready to crawl, but just can't quite figure it out. He can go backward, but forward just doesn't make sense to him right now:) |
