10 Months

Henry turned 10 months old this weekend!  My tiny baby is getting so big and is hilarious.

He claps, gives high fives, holds the phone to his ear, points, says "more" in sign language, and dances!  He is also constantly muting the tv, fake laughing, fake coughing, and TALKING. He is also very good at growing teeth (he has 10!)

He loves to make us laugh.  He will bump his head on furniture repeatedly and then look at us to see if we're laughing.  I usually am.

He loves school.  His teachers say he's very calm, laid back, mature, and serious.  I'm not sure they're talking about MY child.  

Henry has been sticking his tongue out constantly for about a week now.  And he's been waking up at 4:30 every morning. I hope both stages pass soon.

He does not like for ANYTHING to be on bookshelves, tables, in cabinets, etc.  He will work until he has everything on the floor.  You can imagine what our house looks like at the end of every day.  

Sweet little smile.

Henry's First Halloween

Isn't this the cutest lumberjack you've ever seen???

After most of his beard was "drooled" off

Henry Goes to the Pumpkin Patch

We took Henry to a pumpkin patch today!  It had pumpkins, Dr. Pepper, kettle corn, and farm animals......just throw in some puppies and Jesus, and this is what my heaven looks like.  It's seriously everything that's wonderful about fall, thrown into a few glorious acres.  And the weather was perfect.  I want to go back RIGHT NOW.

This is a TINY potbellied pig that let me rub her nose.  I shall name her Pearl.  

We finished our day by eating kettle corn and watching the kids on the playground.

I can't wait to take Hank next year when he's a little older.  He's going to love the hayride, corn maze, hay house, face painting, and playground.  And it will give me an excuse to do all those things, too :)

Meredith and John's Wedding!

Last weekend we went to Abilene for Meredith and John's wedding.   It was cold.  Like, 45 degrees and windy cold.  The ceremony was held outside in front of a barn. I wish I took more pictures of the reception area, but Henry was sick so we stayed inside most of the time. It was gorgeous and so stinkin' sweet.  

I love this picture-Aren't they the cutest?!

Henry's job in the wedding was to sit nicely in a wagon and let someone pull him down the aisle.

Wagon attempt #2.....

Look at sweet, angelic cousin Will in this picture, and then Henry mid-tantrum.
Will gives Henry this look a lot.  

Flirting with the precious flower girl, Kiersyn

Beautiful, beautiful bride

Wagon attempt #3...Not happy about it, but he'll do it for Aunt Meredith.

I tried to take his puppy dog pacifier out several times before he went down the aisle, but Henry was not going to let that happen.  So he went down with his paci in.  :(

I love this!  Right before Meredith walked down the aisle, everyone put on fake mustaches.

It was such a sweet night.  John and Meredith are perfect for each other, and we are so excited that John is (finally!) officially part of the family!  CONGRATULATIONS, JOHN & MEREDITH!!!
