Busted heads, Flying dogs, otherthingstoo

Henry is pulling himself on everything, getting into everything.

It's his new found trick.

But with this new skill comes falls.

Lots and lots of falls.

The other day he pulled himself upright on the couch.

I got the camera and took pictures, if you haven't noticed yet I love pictures!

He was so smiley and happy, he looked proud of himself.

"Mom I can STAND!"

I turn around to put the camera up and....

WHAM

He freaks out

I freak out

"MATT MATT OMG MATT WE HAVE TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!"

Matt (who was a field medic in the army) did a few things to see if Henry was okay.

He says everythings fine.

I didn't believe him.

I'm a worry wort.

We went to the ER anyways.

The Dr did the same thing Matt did and said he was alright.

(wow to I feel silly)

Theres his goose egg after comming home from the ER.

Not that bad.

But better safe than sorry right?

I love seeing poppa love.

you know what I mean?

When your baby is asleep in your mans arms.

Or when they are just hanging out together.

Matt wrapped Henry on his back and did some yard work.

Within 10 min he was out.

Then later Henry was fussing up a storm and didn't want anything to do with me.

His Poppa picks him up and walks around with him and again he's out within 10 min.

Hey Guess what BOO! 

Hahahaha.

Peaches, Henry loves peaches.

I just gave him a huge chunk of ripe peach with the skin still on it.

He went to town!

It seems with the skin on it he can't get as big of chunks off it.

Which is good, because choking scares the CRAP out of me.

Lushious can fly and chompers is pretty.

Eek Scary spider!

Leaf bug!

Watermelon, Cantaloupe, and Tomatoe plant

(The watermelon isn't doing so good but it's trying so hard!)

And I don't have a segway but hey more pictures and stuff of Henry!

He tosses and turns so much when he is sleeping he almost falls off the bed.

Hehehe and he starfushes out.

STRETCH and take up space Henry.

Or look like a baby froggie

Hehehehe.

I was going to actually post something intresting.

But I'm not that intresting.

O well.

What happened to my title!?

Henrys sleeping.

I should probably be cleaning.

But instead I'm posting on my silly blog.

For some reason it wont let me move the allignment of the text to the left so center it is!

Makes it kinda look like a poem...

Kinda..

Except without the rhyme, or the vivid imagnitive speech.

Or anything that makes up a good poem.

OH WELL.



Weee CAR RIDES.

A very uncommon thing in the car is a smiling face.

Henry HATES THE CAR SEAT!

As soon as we put him in it...

OMG END OF WORLD!! DEAR GOD SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS SEAT!

HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP

If it wasn't so shitty it'd probably be funny.

So, I snapped a picture of him happy in his carseat.

Maybe one day I'll tell him that really deep deep down he enjoyed riding in the car.

Henry has been teaching me baby yoga.

I caught him like this and a few other positions while I was cooking dinner.

He would do this pose, downward facing dog, child pose and others.

He's crazy flexible and crazy mobile.

I can't just leave him on the floor anymore.

He scoots, and rolls, and crawls.

Eeeeek mobile baby!

(Makes me miss the blob baby stage! WHERES MY CUDDLE BUG!?)

So this week we did tons of yard work.

Tons o' Ton.

Raked, cut down dead little trees, planted veggies, sprayed for bugs, put down grass seed, feed and weed got put down to. (pray for rain guys I want my grass to grow)

and Henry wanted to help.

So me and Matt wrapped him on my back!

Its called the double hammock back carry (or Chunie)

Really east to wrap it this way and practically wiggle proof.

Double Hammock Carry Instructions

We loved it.

Henry sung into my ear untill he fell asleep.

I got to rake for 2 hours.

Though some down sides to this are.

a) My wrap causes pressure points because it is made out of thin cotton gauze.

b) Its Hot as HELL here in Georgia.

c) Raking with a 20(ish) pound baby back pack is a lot of work!

I got to take a 20 min break from being Momma!

(Yay shower time!)

My boys went to the store real quick.

Henry fell asleep on the way home, so his poppa scooped him up out of the car and joined him in his nap.

I love seeing them together!

Speaking of napping.

I put Henry down for a nap at the top of the mattress pile then step outside for a bit.

(its how I store our beds for the day)

Matt peeks inside to check on Henry.

"Wolfie, wheres Henry?"

He had rolled all the way to the bottem of the mattress pile then pulled the covers over his head!

He was hiding!

Still asleep so we uncovered his face, got pictures, and let him sleep.

He must have been comfortable he slept like that for 30+ min.

(don't worry I checked on him frequently to make sure he was still breathing.)

So we have this toy that sings songs when you press buttons.

But you have to be standing in order to play it.

HE LOVES IT.

I can have it just standing upright in the living room, and he'll go to pull himself up on it.

He needs a little help getting all the way up.

But jsut for ballance he has all the muscle strength.

He'll stand and play with all the buttons and slowly try to scoot himself around the little table.

He just competely skipped truly cralling and is trying to stand and walk.

Can someone tell him to slow down some?!

Thats all I've got this week.

Matts been home so I've been super busy with him.



durp n stuff

Its  been awhile.

Just a bit actually, not to long.

Been watching my sisters all week.

Arn’t they cute while they are sleeping.

If only they were ALWAYS so cute!

At my house last weekend we did lots of cool things.
I don’t have pictures right now maybe when I go back up there today/tomorrow I’ll take some.

But we stretched the carpet and put up base molding.

We have internet and phone now as well.

So when we go back up there I can hook up our computer and a phone! Yay!

But while we were there last weekend it ended up being over 90*

Wow that’s hot.

So to help Henry cool down we put some cool water in his exersaucer bottom.

He loved splashing in the shallow water.
Playing with his water toys, and having fun.

He also played out on his mat in the shade.

He kept rolling off of it into the dirt.

It was kinda funny, but I had to keep moving him so he wouldn’t eat bugs

He loves his Awah

He also loves Lukius.

Lukius is our golden lab, and he’s BIG, around 100 lbs.

But Henry LOVES him.

He’ll squeal with joy every time Lukius comes around, reaching out to grab him.

So cute.

I love watching them interact with eachother.

Lukius will lick Henrys face and Henry will smile and squeal.

All this hard work playing tired the little guy out

I love taking pictures of him as he sleeps.

J Probably my favorite time to take pictures.

So on memorial day we went to my aunts house for a little get together.

They had come cantaloupe.

Henry will gnaw on some cantaloupe!

One of his favorites so far.

Hey there’s me too!

And Awah (of course)

One of his most recent mile stone achievements is pushing him into a sitting postion.

He’s getting so good at it.

He’ll start in a crawling position then slowly put his legs under his butt, sit on them then push himself upright with his hands.

Its amazing how fast he is growing!

Also he’s taking supported steps.

If you hold his hands and gently lean him foreword he will lift his feet and “walk”

Though I don’t have any pictures of that.

Also he just figured out how to lift an arm/hand while on all fours without toppling over.

He hasn’t figured how to move with it so that he’s actually “crawling” but I give it a couple more days and he’ll be fully mobile!

He’s fussing now so I gotta ruuuun.

Say what say what.

I don't know what to say, so pictures first while I collect my thoughts

Henry fights sleep so hard, he will cry and kick and throw his arms around then finally drift into sleep.
Because of this he often winds up in the weirdest positions when he falls asleep on me.
Poor little guy, I tried moving him from this position then he woke up screaming at me like I did something wrong.

Henry has asthma. So this is his nebulizer, isn't it cute?
If only cute made things easy.
The noise makes him freak out, the the air blowing in his face makes him cry.
I feel sorry for him, but I need to give it to him atleast once a day to open his airways so he can breath!

See him crying, and yes I do have a pout on my face :(


Besides that he's a great model and loves having his picture taken.
Because we're moving we have a lot of boxes throughout the house.
So I got the idea to put him in the box and have a miny photo shoot.

Isn't he a cutie!
Such a ham for the camera!

Ooops

Oops, its been a long er busy okay I've just been lazy.
My son on the other hand has been totally working out.

Up on all fours like a champ lookit that,
Also this week/weekend he's tried honeydew, steak, and peas.
He LOVES the honeydew and steak, but he's not to sure about the peas.
He's working on his pincer grip and he's almost got it!
Few more days and he'll have that and crawling down.
SO no more little objects on the floor, because if he finds it he'll eat it.

Me and Matt have been working on the house.
Carpet in the living room now, a new motion detecting light on the front porch, faucets are fixed, kitchen is mopped with all the cabnets cleaned (inside and out). We got power turned on in our name (it was on, but on the previous renters). Sometime next week we will have cable, internet, and phone, and maybe a new A/C!
YAY I'm so excited! :) Soon very soon I will be living there.
Pictures maybe on wed/thurs I'll be going up there with boxes and stuff so yeah I may take pictures.

And I leave you today with Henry playing in the grass.

Still growing

Gosh my son is growing up WAY to fast.
He's only 5 months and 4 days and he's pulling himself up to sit.
Which I discovered this morning.
I had him in his swing, I walk away to do some packing, I return to him sitting up.
In his swing!

Thank god I've been buckling him in for the past month.
I knew this day would happen, but I'm still not ready for it!

Also recently he's been pushing up on the tip of his toes and his arms and scooting foward!

Its a little blurry, but as you can see he is competely off the ground!
I bet in a matter of weeks he will be fully crawling!
I'm SOO not ready for this! He's still my newborn in my mind!

Lately he has been fighting naps so hard.
He wont nurse when he's tired, he doesn't want to sit down, doesn't want to be held and rocked.
So I have to put him on my chest, sing to him and patt his butt till he falls asleep.
Then I must slowly and carfully inch my way out from under him so I can do something without him waking up.

Reaching out trying to hold on even after I've put him down. :(
It doesn't help any that he either has allergies, or a sinus infection.
I'm suffering from it too!
Runny nose and a cough high in his throat.
If it doesn't get better by the end of the week I'm going to schedual an appointment with his Dr.

Even with a runny nose he is still all smiles. :) I love my little guy.

Fixing the house

This weekend we went back to the trailer and unloaded stuff and did some fixing up.
We reinforced the bedroom floor and put in carpet.
Added our bed and the computer.
It looks so much nicer.

Today me and my mom and Henry went up there and cleared out the cinder blocks and did some cleaning.
It smells and looks 100% nicer!
Still have a lot of work to do but so far so good!

Henry is helping in his exersaucer. :)
Still have to reinforce and put floors in the livingroom but thats for next week.

So still a lot of work to do but I'm so excited to keep working on it!
:) I can't wait till I "move in"
