December...what a blur!

What a busy month! December has flown by and it is hard to believe that Henry is 4 months old. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. After Thanksgiving, Henry was baptized at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church. He was such a trooper....the church lost electricity, and it was dark and cold. Henry wore the christening gown and bonnet that Cole wore when he was baptized - it was very special! Since then, Henry has taken on a strong personality with lots of LOUD coo's, squeals, laughs, and babbles. He is rolling over from his tummy to his back, kicking his legs EVERYWHERE, trying to sit up on his own, and constantly chewing on his hands and fingers. We go to the Dr. right before Christmas, so we'll have a weight and height update then. Cole had 3 final exams in a row this month at SMU which kept him very very busy. We are all delighted that LSU is headed to the National Championship (we dressed up Henry for the announcement). Last weekend we celebrated Christmas with Kaki and Papa T because we're headed to Louisiana for Christmas this year. It will be Henry's first trip to Natchitoches! Cole, Henry and I are very very ready for a few days of family time!!

First Turkey Day

Henry's first Thanksgiving was spent in Dallas. Henry was surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins and experienced true FS. Aunt Tara and Uncle Kevin came in from D.C, Paw Paw came in from Harlingen, and Aunt Barbara came in from Seattle. We had a full house, and a long day of football, bloody Mary's, and food (turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, hot fruit, rolls and pecan and pumpkin pie - yum!). Everyone got a chance to play with or hold Henry...Aunt Tara took some amazing photos of the day. Here are a few!

Meeting Trey

After months of looking at pictures of each other, Henry and Trey Wilkinson finally got a chance to meet. Trey is Bobby and Lisa's (a very old and dear friend of mom's) adorable baby boy who was born exactly one month before Henry. It was very cute to see them interact....at one point they were grabbing each other's hands. Henry is very in to his hands these days. He stares at them and swats at his toys. He is grabbing mom's hair, and holding her fingers when he eats. Every week there is something new!

Just Hanging Out

Happy Halloween!

Henry's first Halloween was a blur! We went over to Uncle Troy and Aunt Megen's house for a Halloween party, and were surrounded by lots of little lions, princesses, rock star's, pumpkins, and dragons. Cousin Wyatt was a Dallas Cowboy. It was so cute!
Henry came as Super Man (Super Baby) but getting him dressed tired him out so much that he slept for an hour on Papa T's shoulder. Mom tried to slick back little Henry's hair for a Super Man do, but that hair has a mind of its own. Here are a few pics from Henry's first Halloween.
