Father's Day
Father's Day was a good day. We went out for pancakes, grilled, and swam. And celebrated having a SUPER daddy in our family.

Length: 28 inches (95%) (liberty was 28.25)
Likes:
sister - no one makes him grin/laugh like her.
bathtime - holy splasher.
tv - sorry American Academy of Pediatrics.
drinking out of my water cup - he goes crazy for it
smiling at anyone that looks at him.
Doesn't Like:
ummm...nothing!
Can SCOOT! army crawls when he wants to get a toy.
Can sit for about a minute before tipping over.
Had his first babyfoods - bananas, carrots, apples, etc

Swimming!
We like to swim in the evening around sunset to avoid the sun (and sunscreen) completely. Here are some pictures of Henry's first time in the pool. Our pool is such a light color it doesn't warm up unless it's really really hot - so it was almost too cold to have him get all the way in with the floaty. Next time. Liberty is "bold and enthusiastic" according to her swim teacher - so she wants to go in the water all the time and really likes playing with her 4 watering cans (thank you dollar section!).
Pickin' Peaches
We really like to pick peaches at the nearby Agritopia Farms rather than going all the way to Schnepfs Farm (the heat, the crowds, the travel)...so instead we had breakfast next door at The Coffee Shop and strolled over to get some peaches! We might come back for Apples in a month or so...
Henry on Playmat 5.5m
Henry would spend all day on his playmat if we let him...he is so easily entertained and can roll around, spin 360* and tries to lunge and scoot (he can scoot backwards a bit).

Henry's Baptism
Welcome to the Catholic Church little buddy. Kelly and Doug will be awesome godparents to you. So happy I got to share Mother's day with this special occasion.
Henry 5 months - sibling photoshoot
Took some pictures and videos of Henry at 5 months. Time is flying by and the part I love most about having 2 kids of the undeniable sibling bond. Liberty can't get enough of him, and he thinks she is the coolest. Savoring that while it lasts:)
Henry at 5 months:
thumb sucking didn't happen:( - he's a binky boy.
moved out of our room and now naps and sleeps 100% in his crib.
has turned into a belly sleeper! Try as we might - he rolls and sleeps on his belly.
has turned into a belly sleeper! Try as we might - he rolls and sleeps on his belly.
naps 9-11am and 1-3pm and maybe a snooze at dinner time. Sleeps through the night 7:30-6:30am.
Not quite scooting - but spinning around 360* on his tummy on playmat. Lunges and reaches for toys.
Starting to get very interested in what we are eating/drinking. He likes to drink out of my water cup. Will start baby food very soon.
No teeth - guess he's just a drooly child that chews on everything.
Squeezing into 6 month clothes.
Shouts.
Liberty calls him Henry Boy Boy or Henry bobo or my precious darling or a million other endearments.

Liberty (3) Henry (4 months)
We took both kiddos for their Dr. well-visits and came home with these stats:
Henry: 15 pounds and 27 inches - - 97% in height and 46% in weight.
Liberty: 34.8 pounds and 40 inches - - 96% in height and 86% in weight.
*readers beware, annoying mommy bragging to follow...
In other milestone news Henry is enjoying tummytime, grabs at toys and puts them in his mouth and is the smiliest/laughiest boy on the planet. He rolls and drools. He naps 2-4 times a day (usually 3 - 9am, 1:30pm and a snooze during dinner or in between those big 2 hour naps). We are trying to consistently get him to nap in his crib but it's touch and go. Some days he does, and some days we give up and put him in the swing. He still sleeps 7:30pm to 6:30am with the occasional wake up at 4am to cutely coo like a bird until I pop a binky in his mouth because I am not a nice mommy at 4am. We talk daily about wanting to move him to his room. He loves bathtime with Liberty, the TV, Sophie the Giraffe and when Daddy makes him dance to techno music.
Liberty is so bright. Her vocabulary is insane and she is a sponge for learning new things (dog breeds, types of rocks, flowers, presidents, every name of all my friends, and their husbands and babies and dogs and everyone's favorite color and favorite princess...) She knows simple addition/subtraction and can count to 25 but her real love is letters. She's known the sounds of the alphabet for over a year and she can tell us what almost any word starts and ends with and loves figuring out what is also in the word (spelling). She can write her name and mommy. She can sound out simple words. She CANNOT rhyme worth a damn and she is the most uncoordinated kid ever (she has just figured out a 3 wheeled scooter). She doesn't like scary things (this includes villains, tall slides/roller coasters, alligators, etc). She loves cats, the color blue (royal blue to be precise, followed by green, then pink, then purple), princesses (Cinderella), her cat blankie named StrawberryRose, arts & crafts, Henry and bratwurst. She asks me for a baby sister almost every day. "When you are pregnant some other time can we get a girl baby with a blue and green dress? That would be adorable. But. You never know what you are going to get, a girl baby or a boy baby. It's a mystery." I hear this speech often. Naps 2 hours a day, wonder how long this blessing will last...

Children's Museum of Phoenix
Nothing like an expiring Groupon to get your butt to the Children's Museum of Phoenix. The last time we went Liberty was 18 months old I think - so it was definitely time to explore again! My mom got to come along and it was a fun time!
