Henry conflicted

As many may know, our family divides it's college allegiances across many schools. So naturally, Henry has been gifted a few things from the family fans. Today, Henry and I had a photo shoot to model each outfit. It will definitely be hard for Henry to choose who to root for during the Oaken Bucket game this weekend.

Henry looks like he is cheering on the volleyball team in the IPFW outfit...and look how his toes are spread!

Henry's new friends

Last week, we entered the world of play dates.....which is really a lunch date with another adult at this stage in Henry's life. But nonetheless, it was very nice to have company! On Wednesday, our friends from church Jennifer and her son James came to visit and today Melisa (whose husband works with Mark) and her son Landon were here for lunch. James (first picture) is 6 weeks older than Henry and Landon is only 2 weeks.

Happy Birthday Dasher!

Today is Dasher's 3rd birthday or 21st in dog years. We are going to celebrate tomorrow with some dog cookies and a 'Bowser Brew'. We hope the hangover on Saturday isn't too bad for him.

Mark snapped this picture of Dasher some time in the last two weeks. I love the look on his face....it is begging for a hug!

Henry is one month old

Today Henry turned one month old, so although he looks like Mr. Magoo in this picture, he is a mere 30 days old. Hard to believe he has turned our world upside down in such a short time.

And thankfully, Henry is sleeping very well at night. I am going to move back his next feeding to 11 pm and I think he should sleep until 6 am. Hopefully that experiment will work!

Henry finds his thumb

Last night, during an inconsolable moment, I took Henry and cuddled with him while Mark and I were watching tv. Soon he was fast asleep and we looked down to see that he was sucking his thumb. We won't mind if this became the way that he calms himself....hopefully he can find the thumb again in the middle of the night!

Grandma and Grandpa Franke's visit

Last week it was the Franke's turn for a visit to meet Henry and they spent the week thoroughly spoiling him. He was never at a loss for a diaper change, stroller walk, songs, stories, etc. We loved their visit too, since Grandma spoiled the adults with her cooking and baking. They are welcome back any time!

Rub a dub dub

Today Henry took his first "real" bath in the new tub that Daddy bought. I don't know if it was his favorite part of the day, but he smelled so nice when he was done.
