Hank in Pajamas--8 months

I'm not sure why most of Hank's pajamas are dinosaur themed--the green and white ones are glow and the dark, and you just can't get cooler than that, lucky boy. Hank is crawling lightning fast, he laughs easily, cries quickly when you take anything out of his hands, and eats anything and everything, especially receipts and gum wrappers that he finds around the house...These were all taken around bedtime except the first two-- they were taken right after he woke up from his morning nap.

Summer is Here!

Went camping with some good friends.  Hank loved being outside and was a good sport about sleeping in the tent with mom and dad. 

 

 Both of the little guys just couldn't keep their eyes open when we were packing up to go. They both drifted off the second we set them down. 

We loved our campground with a private beach.

Before we camped, we got to visit Kansas City and play with cousins, see Jaynanne get married, and have a whole day outside in the water. Hank especially loves his older cousin, by just a few months, Jimmy. Since Jimmy crawls much faster, Hank chased him all over the house.

Hank in Bath and Happy Birthday Christopher!

 Went to Duke Gardens and had a picnic on Christopher's 30.  

 Hank loves his baths more and more. Sometimes he cries when we make him get out.  I love having a water baby, it makes me excited for summer at the pool!

Nashville

Someday they will hate us for taking this picture..

New Easter Bunny from Grandma Dori.

Hank and I had the BEST week in Nashville. It was full of cousins, aunts, grandma, tacos, and a princess party. Uncle Drew babysat the kids twice so we could hear some great music--thanks again Drew!

Park Day and Hank's Little Red Bowl

He loves this thing--but he needs some new toys, he's been playing with our spatulas and tupperware all week.

First time on the swing--he loved it. I'll have to post some videos of him soon, because he laughed and laughed at the two-year old swinging next to him. So cute.

Almost Six Months

This sweetheart little boy eats up carrots, sweet potatoes, gags down green peas, and refuses squash. He rolls over from his back to his stomach and doesn't like taking naps because he is too busy practicing his new trick. We couldn't love anything more.

Another Attempt

Here I am again, trying to update this sad blog! I'm not going to worry about filling in the gaps, I'm just going to post some pictures of our quick trip to DC and Virginia last week. We had such a great time, saw the monuments, went to the Spy Museum, and extended our trip so we could see Monticello on the way home. Of course we ate delicious food. Cafe Rio, which was a total Provo flashback, Carlyle with our great friends Dave and Margaret, and 2Amy's which was fabulous, and we got some cupcakes at Sprinkles on the way out of town. Hank looks so much bigger in these pictures than the last post in October!

They were doing construction on the reflecting pool, but it was still nice to visit in February when it wasn't so crowded.

It doesn't get any better than this picture for me.

Family picture with Christopher's head cut off. Still, we were so grateful for the lady who stopped to ask if she could take one for us!
