Hero knew this new addition to our family had an upside!

Henry figured out how to become Hero's best friend. While we eat dinner we give Henry a rice cake broken into little chunks. He figured out that if he lowers a rice cake that hilarious dog will come and get it!!!

This video catches these two in action:

Mobile Baby?

This morning I caught Henry's rocking on tape. He is so close to crawling as you can see in the video. You can also see when he gets sick of all the work of crawling, he now rolls and rolls and rolls. He can cross the living room in no time!

Henry's 1st Twins game

We took Henry to his first professional baseball game last night. It was one of those events that you had a vision of in your head. Us as a family going to the brand new outdoor ballpark to watch Eric's favorite team. It was going to be great, right? Not right. Henry HATED sitting in the stands. The heat, too many people, and the fact that we picked the inning that the Twins had 4 runs led to a lot of cheering/yelling. Henry had a meltdown. We probably sat in our seats for all of 5 minutes :) But we took him to the season ticket area (air conditioned and tables) and he was fine. It may be a couple of years before we try that again!!!

Days of Summer

We are really lucky that the Olson's decided to buy a cabin on Lake Wapogasset, we have had some fun with Henry's cousins this month. Last weekend it was the Kastners that were up visiting. Jack and Avery tried out tubing and loved it, and are some of Henry's biggest fans! Here are some shots from the weekend:

7 months

Henry turned 7 months on July 4th, here is his picture with the alligator:



Henry is sitting on his own no problem, drinking out of a sippy cup, eating rice cakes, and learning so much. For some reason turning 7 months old has hit Eric and I that he is changing so fast it is unbelievable. In the past few days he's starting to get up on all fours and rocking back and forth- we think our days with a baby who stays in 1 place are numbered!

July 4th 2010

We just got back from a long weekend at the cabin. On Friday we had fireworks on the lake (Henry slept through them all), followed by a picnic, and a boat parade! We had the whole family around this weekend- the DeWitts, Parsons, Olsons, Sullivans, Jackson boys, and Demars (not technically family but pretty close). It was a great weekend and great to be with family again.
