Aunt Jensen was in town for training with her new job and came over for dinner last week! It was such a special treat for Henry to see one of his aunts that lives out of town, and he LOVED her reading to him.
Yesterday we took Henry to his very first TCU game. Yes, after 2 years, we finally made it out to the Fort for fun tailgating and a great game. We joined the Smith's and Margaret and rode to the stadium in a bus (was thrilling for the kiddos!). Henry was just as amused with the TCU golf carts as he was the game, band, and cheering. He probably "drove" every cart on campus before it was all said and done. His favorite thing was clapping and yelling "T-C-U" after the Frog horn sounded. He then spent hours playing at the tailgate with all the other children...running, throwing footballs and chasing the girls. Needless to say, we had a tired little boy by the end of the night :).
Henry spends a lot of time with Caroline and Harper and now calls them his "Girlfriends". When I ask him who he wants to go play with, he says "my girlfriends mommy"! So hilarious. They are like brother and sisters.

Our Family.....so hard to believe it has been 2 years since this:
After 40 weeks (and one day) of pregnancy, 12 hours of labor, and at least 9 bottles of champagne, little Henry has graced the world with his presence. He weighed 8 lbs 14 oz at birth, and was 21 1/4 inches in length. Though his mom and dad are certainly biased, they firmly believe that he is the most beautiful baby boy ever born. He has sadly inherited his father's hairy genes, but he fortunately makes up for it with his mother's dimples (two on each cheek!). It's safe to say that his mom and dad have never before loved anything so deeply.
Little Henry's first few days have been blessed with an overflow of love from grandparents, aunts, uncles and even a few cousins! He did his very best to smile for the camera, but far too often the photographers captured him during his favorite time....the "milk drunk" deep sleep.
Henry and Dad took their first walk on Saturday evening, with Drake along for protection and support. Though he didn't say much, Henry's reaction to his surroundings clearly indicated that he's a fan of the neighborhood. He had a particular fondness for the two houses displaying LSU flags!
Henry's remarkable journey has only just begun, and he looks forward to sharing countless pictures and stories with the close friends and family he's so very lucky to have in his life.
Until next time....
Mom, Dad, and Baby Henry
