Four Months Old!

June 1st marked both our 6 year anniversary and Henry turning 4 months old! He just had his 4 month check up and weighed in at 11 pounds 4 ounces and 23.75 inches long! His length has moved up to the 14th percentile while his weight is still in the 1st. (Guess he'll just be long and skinny for now.) The doctor was very happy with his gain and cheerfully pointed out that he looks like a baby now and no longer like a premie!

Henry's new favorite things are:

• Smiling a ton!
• Chewing on his hands non-stop (both at once if he can get them in there!)
• Cooing and talking, he always has something to tell us.
• Playing in his Kick and Play! He still kicks everyday about the equivalent of running a few miles!
• He just started to giggle and laugh and thinks it's hysterical when we dab his chin to wipe off drool.
• He loves to play pat-a-cake, the clapping and rolling is his favorite part.
• Starting to get pretty good at sitting up (with a little help) and will happily sit and play in his Bébépod chair while we eat.
• Just started rolling over, but hasn't figured out how to do it on purpose yet and HATES it when we put him on his tummy to encourage him.
• He's a pro at picking up his toys and putting them in his mouth. He love's Samson, his blankey giraffe/hippo/cow (we can't decide what it is), and also his crinkly frog.
• He loves to lay next to dozing daddy while mommy gets ready for work, and watch the ceiling fan while he kicks and plays.

Hahn was trying to teach him how to hold his finger up and make a 'shooshing' sound, but with no luck.


Full of giggles!

Stoli Love!

Stoli has to compete for camera time these days. But we finally got a good video of him running around in the backyard on one of the few beautiful spring evenings we had before all of the crazy weather started up!

You'll also notice the momma robin we have protecting the tree that contains her nest as we hang out in the backyard. And if you listen closely, you'll hear the music from Henry's kick n play going off in the background. ;)

Baby, sitting

I'm pretty sure, this is not how "babysitting" is supposed to work...

You've been abilified!

After seeing commercials for the prescription drug Abilify - Ed decided that we should coin it as a new catch phrase. Like, "Don't make me come over there and abilify you!" (Try using it in a sentence this week!)

A couple of weeks later we discovered that our garden gnome had been abilified, here are the crime scene photos:

Random Cuteness

We were finally starting to get some warm weather and decided to get Henry all prepped in his hat and go work on getting the garden set up. He was super adorable and we got this great shot!


Hahn was blowing bubbles and Henry seemed to find it quite entertaining. He had this funny delayed reaction and his eyes would get all big about 10 secs after the bubble popped!

Alexa's 1st Birthday Party

Last Saturday, April 18th was the 1st birthday of Nic and Carleen's daughter Alexa. It's hard to believe that she is one already! It was fun to see everyone's babies and how much they had grown. It's crazy that Henry will grow up just as fast!

Alexa - the birthday girl!

We wanted to get a group shot of all the babies. Carleen and Alexa, Amy and Ella, Aaron and Hannah and me and Henry. Everyone kept pointing out to him how he's already got all these girlfriends!




Carleen and Amy made these adorable and delicious cupcakes!

Baby trade off!

Alexa enjoyed pulling the tissue paper out of the gift bags!

Aaron and Hannah, she turned one the very next day!



We had to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Alexa very quietly so that we wouldn't scare her. She still seems undecided as to whether or not she likes it, but she had a lot of fun with her personal baby-cake!

Grandma and grandpa Brodahl

I owed mom some good pics of her and Henry, so here they are!



And also a video of reading with grandpa!
