Henry, the Four-Month Old

Henry is four months old!  He went to his doctor's checkup this week, and she remarked that he has hit a serious growth spurt!  He weighs 17 pounds 1 ounce, and is 26.5 inches long!  Quite the 'little' boy we have!

In comparison, here is a picture of Olivia at four months.  She weighed 16 pounds 10 ounces and was 26 inches long.  We can't believe that we ended up with two gigantic babies!

Henry is shocked I would call hum gigantic...

Henry is a thumb-sucker, it's official.  What a sweetheart he is, we can't believe he's four months old already, my how time flies!

As is generally the case around here, Olivia is trying to steal this sticker from Henry.  She wants his toys, he clothes, his bottles, his eyelashes...  And she generally gets what she wants.

 Cassandra and the kids went to Park City with her family for a few days where Henry ruled the hotel room from his Bumbo throne.

Henry and his Uncle Chet are best buds and very close.  

Generally, as we go and do fun activities, Henry just sits and takes it all in.  Here is Henry at the splash park, sticking his tongue out, one of his favorite pastimes. 

Henry sat in the new pool with us in the backyard, he seemed unimpressed.

Henry enjoys blowing raspberries and spitting.  He enjoyed doing that on our recent trip to the Dinosaur Park.  spitting is way more fun than dinosaurs!

Aunt Arla tried on his hat.

Chilling with Grandma Christa.  He's a sucker for attention from people.

Henry the Firecracker

Henry responds to each new event in his life with cheerful stoicism.

He sits back watching with mild interest as Bob lights a bunch of fireworks.  He wasn't upset by them at all, and enjoyed cuddling with Aunt Arla and Grandma Christa during the explosions.

Henry treated his first visit to the pool like it was a giant bathtub.  Fun for chilling with his Uncle Chet.

We went on a hike recently, and Cassandra wimped out towards the end, so Bob took both of the kids for the rest of the hike!  Pretty impressive.

Look at these sweet kicks Aunt Didi sent Henry, what a little hipster baby.

Henry is incredibly patient with Olivia and all of her crazy antics.  She is obsessed with any toy that Henry is playing with, and finds as many occasions as possible to kiss and hug and pat him.  He rarely cries when she's doing this, even if it looks painful.  In fact, he finds her hilarious and will belly laugh at her with only the slightest provocation.

Henry (aka Hank, Honky-Tonk, Hankie McHankerson, Vomit Comet, Super Soaker)  loves vomiting.  His shirt is almost always damp and smelly.  

He is doing so well.  We have convinced him to nap twice a day at the same time as his sister, and he's sleeping great at nights too.  He's rolling over from his stomach to his back like gangbusters.  He smiles at everything, and giggles very easily.  What a pleasant little angel he is!
