Growing Boy

Today Henry is 5 months old. And the more I hold/carry him, the more I realize how he is growing. I'm pretty sure he eats straight butter when my back is turned.

Speaking of eating, he has eaten rice cereal a couple of times. He seems to enjoy solid food better than a bottle (thank goodness). Sometimes we let him lick/suck on a fruit or vegetable we are eating. His favorite so far has been watermelon.

We haven't gotten a high chair yet, so we had to improvise....

Henry has also gotten rather mobile. Relatively speaking. He scoots around (though only backwards and to the left). He's also getting better at sitting up and is rolling over more (kind of-ish). However, his favorite thing to do is what we call the superman.

We also recently (finally) got a crib for him. This means moving out of the co-sleeper in Mom and Dad's room and into his very own big boy room. It was a bit difficult for me the first night, but now I love it. He sleeps much better through the night.

We have also been very busy having fun. We have had many visitors in the past couple of weeks including Ben's sister Kelly, Ben's parents and his high school football coach.

With Kelly in front of Grandpa Bernie Fisher's airplane at the National Air Force Museum. The cutest part was when Henry saw his great-grandpa's picture. There were many giggles and big smiles

After Henry's first baseball game, the Tigers versus the Royals. He even got a certificate celebrating his first game.
