Sweet Little Toby

Henry's newest cousin was born yesterday! Tobiah "Toby" Adam Swinson {6lbs 13oz 21 inches} was born to Jon and Lauren Swinson. He is so precious. This little guy loves to be in his mother's arms! We are excited that he is finally here and can't wait to get to know him. Henry can't wait to get his hands on him :)

I love my family!

I am so grateful for my family today. My Heavenly Father knew just what I needed when he gave me these two guys. Mike is the best Dad to Henry. Henry is crazy about him. The other night Henry and I were laying in bed when Mike came home. Henry got so excited when he heard the front door open...he knew Daddy was home :) Mike and Henry's favorite part of the day is wrestling on the floor before Henry goes to bed. It is even more fun to watch them! Mike is such a hard worker and he's really good at what he does. His bosses always love him because they know they can trust him. That is very comforting to me. Mike makes me laugh! He's one of those people that says the funniest things with a straight face, which makes it that much more funny. Mike loves me! It's been almost 4 years of marriage and I'm still learning all the little ways and little things he does to show me he loves me.

Henry is the sweetest blessing to our family. Henry finds his own little ways to show his love. When he wakes up in the morning, he will crawl on top of me and lay his head on my chest. Henry is so fun. He loves to play. He loves to laugh. He loves to just be with us. I am grateful for his unconditional love.

What a crazy week of weather. Monday it was beautiful. We spent some time outside. Henry was introduced to grass and seems to like it. Tuesday was gloomy and rainy. By Friday, it was windy and freezing again! Today, it started hailing while we were driving around town. Spring will be here soon!

Henry is quite often on the move. He loves this new outlook on life.

I thought this picture was funny. They look like two drunkards singing in a bar! Caleb loves hanging out with Henry, he's such a good big cousin.

Lovin' These Shoes!

I am totally crazy for these shoes! See Kai Run has the cutest "post-walking" shoes I've seen. It took me 10 minutes to decide which pair to post. There is not a pair I don't love, I think I'll take a pair of each! I even think I'd be ok having a girl if I could put these shoes on her {just kidding, kinda}.

It's Official

Henry has been working towards a crawl for awhile now. On Sunday night he took off. It was great timing. Mike was actually able to see him crawl a lot that night. Mike has a very busy schedule this semester, so I was afraid he was going to miss some of Henry's "firsts".

Henry seems so excited with himself. I guess he is going to help me childproof the apartment now :) Henry was 7 months 1 day old when he started crawling, I was hoping for more like 12 months!

drum roll please...

My Buddy and Me

Henry got this giraffe for Christmas from Bama Karla. He started noticing it this week and went bonkers over it the other night. He kept pulling on his tail and trying to pull up on him. We finally put Henry on the giraffe and he thought it was the greatest thing. I was impressed with his balance!
