Quotes from Mary

Me - Mary, what does Peace feel like?
Mary - It feels like sitting on a boat and fishing!

Me - What does Peace smell like?
Mary - It smells like a flower!

Me - What does Peace taste like?
Mary - It tastes like a lollipop!

Quote from Mary

"I'm gonna be an artist-doctor-teacher-mommy when I grow up."

Time to lower the crib mattress

Henry has figured out how to pull himself up in his crib.

crawling

Henry is starting to figure it out - a little scooch, a little pulling, up on knees & hands, and then he rolls to get where he wants to go fast.

Will they be green or brown?

Looks like Henry's eye are changing. They are looking more hazel than blue these days.

Stories from the Car

A new series of updates featuring stories that Mary shares with us in the car.

My favorite this morning:

"When scary monsters die, they go to scary monster heaven."

6 Month Checkup

Just wrapped up the 6 month checkup with Henry. He is doing great, as expected. 4 shots were no fun though.

Henry is now 18 lbs and just over 27 inches tall.

Wow how time flies!

It is hard to believe that Henry will be 6 months old this Saturday. He is growing so fast. Compared to our friend's Linda and Matt's new baby, Caroline Grace, it is hard to believe Henry was ever that small. For those of you who have heard Mary talk about her friend Catherine, she is now a big sister to baby Caroline. We'll find out just how big Henry is when we go in for his 6 month check up next Monday. Henry is mastering the art of sitting up and beginning to scoot backwards and forwards. We have to keep a watchful eye on him as he can cover a lot of ground in a very short amount of time. He is giggling often - especially when big sister Mary laughs with him. We're going to the pool this afternoon. It feels like it takes us longer to get ready for the pool than we actually spend there, but nonetheless, both Mary and Henry really enjoy it!
