FOREVER!!!!

So it's been forever since I updated my blog. This summer has been so crazy! Henry is a moving machine. He is crawling everywhere and is totally interested in pulling up and cruising around. He always wants to walk around holding on to Dustin and I. He has finally started getting some teeth. He got 1 top tooth and 1 bottom tooth at the same time. Now he is working on the other top front and bottom front. Needless to say, our house is full of a whiny little man. He's still super cute though! He will be 11 months next week! It's hard to believe that the time has gone this fast. I cannot believe that I had to order his birthday invites and I have to start planning his party. It's bittersweet.... He's not going to be my little baby, but he's so much fun right now. I'm happy to see him turning into a little kid, but a little sad that he doesn't need me as much. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. Here's a little bitty baby picture of him. Hard to believe he was ever that small.....

Henry is 9 Months!!!!!

I cannot believe that Henry is already 9 months old! It seems like just yesterday that I was holding him in the hospital. It so crazy that the next time he has professional pictures taken, he will be a year old!!!! I guess I need to start thinking about his birthday party. Honestly, that makes me a little sad. I can't believe that he is growing up so fast.

Henry isn't crawling yet, but he's becoming content just scooting around on his belly. He does a lot better going backwards, but he will scoot around in circles to find new stuff to play with. He LOVES to pull himself up in his crib or anywhere else possible. I am starting to wonder if he will just walk and skip the crawling stage..... We will see! :)

My super talented friend Jessica took Henry's pictures over the weekend and they turned out AMAZING!!!! I love them! You can check out her website at www.herecomesthesunphotography.com. She does a really good job and is very reasonably priced!!!! It was really hot the day of his pictures, but we powered through. Here's a few examples..... Talk to you all soon!

Glad it's Friday!!

I just wanted to write a quick update. Things are going pretty well with our little family. We are going to a wedding this weekend in Robinson, Illinois. I'm sure it will be good time. We are staying with Dustin's parents for the weekend, so Henry will get lots of Grandma time. I'm sure he will be super spoiled when we come home. :) I was surprised when I was packing our things last night.... It is so hard to pack for a baby!!!! We will only be gone for two nights, but I feel like we are taking our whole house with us. We probably will only use half of what we are taking, but it's necessary to be prepared. Haha!!

Henry has a little bit of a cough and I'm hoping that it goes away soon. I feel like he is sick every other week. We get things taken care of and he gets sick again. I'm sure it's because he's around so many kids at daycare. He loves going and playing with all the other kids, but I could definitely leave the various colds, coughs and little illnesses that come along with daycare. :(

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!! I will post some pics from the wedding on Monday. Henry is going to be dressed up and looking cute. :)

Yesterday...

Hello everyone!! Hope all is well on this rainy Wednesday morning. Things here are going ok. Henry had to go to the doctor for his eczema yesterday. He had a pretty bad outbreak this time. He also has some seasonal allergies, so the doc gave us a boatload of stuff to get.... Zyrtec, steroid cream, triple paste, triple cream, etc.... We spent a small fortune at the pharmacy and used it last night. He woke up this morning and it's almost all gone!!!!! I was so happy!!! Made the expense totally worth it. Henry is going to get his 9 month pictures taken on June 20th and I really wanted to get the rash cleared up. This cream cocktail seems to be doing the trick. :) So, now we just have to stay on top of it.

Other than the rash things are going really well. Henry is up on those knees rocking back and forth so he will be crawling before long. He likes to pull himself up to his knees in his crib, so I'm sure it won't be long before he's pulling up on everything else. It's crazy how fast he's grown. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that he was born. He's picking EVERYTHING up and putting it in his mouth too.... I am so impressed with him when he feeds himself. It's so cute!

Hope everyone is having a good week! Stay dry and hope to see you all soon!!

Claire and Sophia Sorrells

Here is a picture of the beautiful Sorrells twins. They arrived on Thursday and are happy and healthy. Courtney and Matt are so happy and it was nice to see them for a little while on Saturday. Congrats to Courtney and Matt! Their family just doubled in size.... :)

Pics at the Park!

My friend Jessica took some pictures of the three of us at Deming Park last weekend. The pictures turned out really good; I was so excited! Henry did not give her much to work with. He was not a happy boy that day. He hated the grass and only wanted to be held. :) He's spoiled!! I was glad to have some pictures of the three of us. Dustin and I only seem to take pics of Henry. Imagine that!! Anyway, everyone should check out Jessica's website, she did a great job!!

My baby boy!!!

He was so happy to be sitting all by himself on the table... I was a nervous wreck about him falling. :)

I will post more later in the week. It took me FOREVER to figure out how to post these! :)

Sorrells Twins!!!!

The Sorrells twins will make their debut on May 28th!!!! Henry cannot wait to meet his new little friends! :) We are so excited for Courtney and Matt. They have waited a long time for this day. It's been a rocky road, but we are super excited to welcome Sophia and Claire into our group of friends!!! Everyone say a prayer that they come in to the world healthy and happy... :)
