Henry got his wig busted! In the last 10 days, four people have asked about our "little girl". In fact, one person even called Henry our "little Miss America". Time for a hair cut!

With Daddy before the hair cut.

Getting started....

Henry sat on my lap and was on his best behavior.

Getting a trim above the ears.

All finished! He looks so handsome. :)

Happy Birthday, Henry!

Henry is one! The year has flown by, and we could not have asked for a better little boy. We just love him so, so much. Here are some pictures from our first days with Henry as a baby, and recent ones of him as a little boy. Happy birthday little man! We love you.

My first time holding Henry. He was nameless in this picture.

Kyle's first time holding Henry. We both look a little scared in our first pictures with him.

Our first family picture...not super flattering, but again we were a little nervous. :)

Henry after his first bath at home. This is quite possibly my favorite newborn picture of him.

Kyle doesn't look scared any more! This is from a couple of weeks ago.

Henry loves to play on the dog's bed. Poor Gavin!

With me at a birthday party over the weekend. He did not like his party hat.

Crawling, crawling, crawling. He motors all over the place on his knees.

I'm Baaaaccckkkkk!

Obviously, I've taken a summer vacation from blogging. Well, I'm back with plenty to blog all about. It's hard to believe that Baby Henry will be one year on Thursday. He's no longer a baby...he's a precious little boy. He's crawling at light speed and into everything. He hides the remote control in the bathtub, and says "mama" and "dada" with ease. Here is a summer update.

Henry still loves to eat. In July, he moved to more solid foods. He loves French Toast, grilled cheese and pasta.

He's still a good sleeper and sleeps with his rear in the air.

Father's Day 2010: Paul and Pat (Now G-Daddy and MiMi) came to spend the weekend with us. Henry loves, loves, loves his Daddy.

We go to the park every now and then. It's been too hot to go lately, but he loves to swing when we go.

Grandpa Walker and GG came for a visit.

He moved into a big boy car seat.

He still loves the doggies, but this doggy, Brooks, went to live with my parents. He's spoiled with them...three walks a day. :)

This kid has more hair than Kyle and I combined. He was having a Don King moment here.


I've been working part-time, primarily from home. this is what he did while I was on a conference call one morning. Notice he pulled about 15 books off of the shelf behind him.

In July, my good friend, Jamie, was in Atlanta for work and stopped by for a visit. Henry's a big fan.

Much, much to catch up on from the summer. Stay tuned...if you're still out there.

Happy Summer

Yesterday was the official start of summer. It's felt like the dead of summer here for the last month. Here's a picture of Henry in his new chair "pruning" the flowers. Thanks to G-Daddy and MiMi for the chair. We had a wonderful visit with them.

Henry's First Swim

Henry LOVES the pool! It took him a little while to get used to it, but after a couple of visits, he doesn't want to get out of the water. When the pool opened more than two weeks ago, I was so excited to take him. After taking four hours to get the swim bag packed, the swim diaper on, the sunscreen on, the cooler packed, etc... Henry fell asleep on our three minute walk to the pool. And, he stayed asleep for an hour. Kyle and I waited patiently for him to wake him, and when he did, I dunked his little toes in the water. He screamed. So, I dunked the toes in the water again. He screamed again. Needless to say, we determined our first trip to the pool was a bust.

Fast forward to Saturday. The kid couldn't get enough pool time. He stayed in the water all day long. Looks like we'll spending a lot of time at the pool this summer. :)

Springtime Fun

Kyle, Henry and I are getting ready for summer. The yard is in good shape. The pool opens on Friday. We're ready for a fun, and hot, summer! We've been busy lately. Here's a glimpse of the last two weeks.


Seer sucker...just like Daddy and Grandpa Walker


Cheering for the first place Cincinnati Reds. Thanks Grammy for the hat!


Showing off his spiked hair.


Henry wants to stand! He just rolled over 10 days ago, and only in the last month has been sitting on his own. Now, he wants to stand. Time is flying!

We got Henry some shades for the pool this summer. They have crokies. Again, just like Daddy.

Happy Day!

My First Mother's Day

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day! My parents came in town for the weekend. Kyle and I were able to sleep a little later in the mornings and Henry had great quality time with GiGi and Grandpa Walker.

With my mom on Mother's Day. It was nice to celebrate with her.

Catching Up

Once again, I've gone a long time without blogging. As you know life just gets busy. Henry continues to grow and do remarkably well. He is near 20 pounds and is more than 27 inches long. He's wearing 9 - 12 month clothes! He eats breakfast everyday - usually pears or apples with oatmeal. And, he has dinner every night. We introduced peas this week and he really like them. The only food he doesn't seem to like is green beans, but he still eats them. He is sitting on his own, but still has the occasional tumble, and he has FOUR teeth and a fifth one breaking the gum on the bottom. Henry will be seven months on Friday. He seems more like a little boy than a baby with each passing day. We absolutely adore him - here are some of our favorite pictures from the last month.

It looks like he should be in a hot tub, not a jumpy.

Big boy in his high chair.

It's so hard to capture him smiling. This one is pretty close.

Just this week, he's started to (attempt to) feed himself. Peas were everywhere!


He liked dinner so much, he wanted to eat the bowl.

Playing basketball on his home court.

There's a cute smile...and two little bottom teeth.

Just like Daddy...

For those of you who know Kyle well, you know he rubs the back of his head a lot. Henry's been caught with the same move. Like father, like son...

Happy Easter

We had a little Easter photo shoot...

This was the first shot.

He was a little happier when he saw the Easter basket.

Truly posing with the Easter basket.

In his actual "Easter Outfit" practicing sitting in the chair. Usually, he'd sit if we would "tripod" but he hasn't been a big fan of sitting up. He's a little top heavy and topples over quickly.

YEA! TOES! He'll sit forever when he finds his toes.

Henry, The Ladies Man

Meet Henry's first girlfriend, Caroline the Cougar! Sweet Caroline is six weeks older than Henry. She and I share a birthday so I think she's pretty special. The pictures below are more than a month old. Henry and Caroline got together over the weekend and I'm told they were holding hands. Do I hear wedding bells? Probably not, but how cute are these babies?!

Checking her out...

Is she making a move? Henry's looking to Daddy for advice.

Did he take Daddy's advice? Whatever he did, it worked!
