8 months for Henry Innis

Henry is 8 months old today!
You'll notice there are a ton of photos of him this month. This is because Matt has been away for almost the entire month so I've been taking a lot of pictures and videos and sending them to him. Matt spent 2 weeks in Washington DC and has now been in Kenya for a week and a half with another week to go. I am not sure how many summer trips to Kenya this has been for Matt but it has to be somewhere around 10!

So it was just me and the boys, Henry and Syd! We kept ourselves busy as you'll see by the pictures. We welcomed summer, although it took awhile to get here. We hiked Mt St Hillaire with our friends Zach, Celeste and little Rose. We took many, many walks with Syd as he still gets walked 2 times a day even without Matt around. Matt was back for a few days in between his trips so we were able to go to the Folk Festival together which was right in our backyard. And we also celebrated Fathers Day together with some amazing doughnuts.And were so excited to see Aunt Meg all the way from Albuquerque!! She also crossed paths with Matt and was able to give Matt and I a date night!! And we  saw a Dale Chihuly exhibit. We visited the library many times and are making new mama and baby friends.

Henry still loves to clap. He also likes to play peek-a-boo with a plate, a blanket, whatever. He likes to turn pages in his books. He loves to hang with Syd. He loves the swings. He loves food and is basically eating 3 times a day and also eating pretty much everything you can imagine.  He now babbles and moves his mouth in new, silly ways. He's definitely getting close to moving although he face plants most of the time. And he has a little tooth surfacing but it's very stubborn.

Thanks for checking in on Henry! Happy Summer!
