Say What?

Apparently, Wyoming is a tricky state for some of us to visualize. Did you find it?* If the rumor train hasn't reached you yet, Jake accepted a full-time teaching job in Mountain View, Wyoming and thus our family will be relocating at the end of July. Giddyup. My heart doesn't quite know how to feel about this big change for our family, but I trust that it will be good...and cold..and windy..and...! *I guess you might need to get out your magnifying glass to actually see this map...

5 Months

Life with a 5 month old is divine. This child has brought much joy to us this last month. This sweet babe loves his hands, his feet and his mama's milk makers.

We are working on sitting up like a big boy and attempting some "solid" food. So far he is completely uninterested in both rice cereal and bananas. Some of us are a bit concerned that he may take after his mother and her picky entree selection.

Cousins

"Uh, Dad, what is this kid doing?"

A face only a mother could love...

We're mainly talking about Jake here as Henry still maintains his cuteness even in this state.

Playing Catch Up

After two grueling weeks of work (okay there were three snow days in there), it's Spring Break! Here's what we have been up to lately.

Henry's first trip to the beach. He didn't think the biting wind was all that cool and spent most of the trip asleep in the front pack- except for when we took him out for a super cool picture of him in his moose suit.




After much consideration, our serious observer has decided to lighten up a bit and show us that charming smile more and more. He's even graced our ears with baby giggles, but isn't ready to publicly admit it.

Henry was less than pleased with our March snowfall. Or maybe he just wasn't into the tiger Halloween costume that we forced him to wear.

Growing, growing, growing...

Yes, it is true, Henry is huge! Don't you dare get in between this dude and his food.

At three months, Henry is fascinated by his hands and by our fake fireplace. He loves to stare at his mobile and for awhile was sleeping through the night. However, now knowing that his dearest mama is going back to work, he has decided it would be best for everyone if he only slept until for a few hours at a time. Oh dear, this going back to work thing is going to be interesting!

Henry and Jake

For the last three months, we've been saying that Henry looks just like his daddy. We stumbled across an old baby photo of Jake last week and really thought the two of them looked a lot like. Then we tried to recreate Jake's baby photo with Henry and that is when we realized that maybe, just maybe, Henry might not look just like daddy. Could it be that there really is some of me in him as well?
