Weekend in Colorado

We traveled to beautiful Colorado this past weekend for a friend's wedding (congrats Jeff & Aggie!) It was the first wedding Henry has attended, and he was very well behaved beyond slobbering all over the program.

We spent quality time with family and were spoiled by their generous hospitality. As you can see, Henry enjoyed meeting cousins Jim & Tara, Aunt Marian and Uncle Dave.

Play date

We had a fun evening with a Henry's friend T. (from our mom and baby group) and his parents this past weekend. T. is on the waiting list at Henry's daycare, so they could potentially be classmates and be in daycare together until kindergarten! We are hoping there is a spot open for him soon. Coincidentally, T.'s mom is also from Michigan and went to Hope College, in my hometown of Holland, Michigan, for undergrad! What a small world.

Prost!

1/2 birthday!

It is unbelievable that Henry is already 6 months old! He now has 2 bottom teeth and is enjoying some solid foods, including pureed sweet potatoes and bananas. He likes these new foods so much that we are even able to mix in his not so favorite iron fortified rice cereal without him noticing.

Henry had his 6 month Dr.'s appointment today and it was confirmed that he is tall for his age as we suspected: 28 inches in length (93rd %tile) and 17lb 8oz (52nd %tile).

Rice cereal

Henry had his first tastes of "solid" food today. As you can see from the photos, he was not a big fan of rice cereal. The majority of the food ended up in his bib or on the floor.

Where's Henry?

Henry has been spending a lot of time playing with his GIANT dragon toy lately. He likes to chew on the face or paws, ultimately hiding himself under the stuffed animal that is a least double his size.

Henry was also proudly representing "the D" at the St. Paul Farmers Market this morning.

Babies! 5.5 - 6.5 months old

We got together with 4 of the 6 other babies from our mom and baby group this past weekend (arranged from youngest to oldest, left to right, in the middle photo). It's funny to think that Henry has known Annie, Pete, John & Will since he was 3 weeks old! It's even more amazing how much they have all changed over the past few months.
