5 months old!

Where does the time go? I packed away all of Henry's clothes he's too big for and filled up a huge plastic bag. I actually got one of those cool bags where you vacuum up the air and it makes the bag really shrunken looking. It's the little things, right? But, I got a little emotional going through all those little clothes. I can't believe he was ever that small!

Oh, who are we kidding, this boy is on his way to being a linebacker. At his four month check up, he weighed 17 lbs (97th percentile) and measured 25.5 inches tall (75th percentile) and his head is still in the 90th percentile.

This is how he feels about turning 5 months old today, yay! We went by the lake and had a little picnic and played airplane.



He really likes playing with his feet now and can almost get them in his mouth. Delish. He loves "This Little Piggy" and laughs louder and louder as you go from the big toe to the pinky toe. But he doesn't like the "all the way home" part. He always looks really serious like he doesn't want the piggies to go home.


His smiles are getting easier to capture on film, although you still have to hide the camera.
Poor baby, me talking about how chubby he is yet I'm always dressing him in horizontal stripes! Gotta love all those rolls :)


We're just now getting into the solid food thing. He doesn't really know what to do with his tongue yet, but he's getting there. He loves to watch us eat though. I think he would rather skip all the rice cereal and oatmeal and go right to the good stuff. I don't blame him!


Henry's almost gotten too big for his swing, but he really likes his activity bar with all his toys. He'll grab his rings and just bang away. You think he might be hurting himself he's slamming it down so hard, but he's happy as can be.
"Mom, enough with the pictures already."



The first Saturday we actually had nice weather, we went up the driving range and I had to dress Henry up in all his golf clothes. That includes his plaid golf hat and Master's bib. He liked watching Daddy hit the ball.


Sitting up on the couch is one of his favorite things to do. He likes to pretend that he's a big boy.


Bath time! He splashes like a crazy man in the tub, arms and legs. And then he wants to drink the water and chew on the rag. So, he's pretty much all over the place. I think the easter bunny is going to get him a raft for the pool this summer. He's going to be a little water baby.


We had such a great visit with Gee-ma earlier this month. She couldn't get enough of him!

Here's a pic from the day he turned 4 months. You can see how much he's changed from even then!
Love,
Lyndsey, Marc, Henry, & Betsy
