Long time no see!

Haven't been on the computer much lately. There's been a lot going on PLUS Henry is being lots of fun, but pictures and such are coming. I haven't forgotten!

Go Grizzlies!

Tonight Nate and I were able to go to a Grizzlies (hockey) game and watch it from a suite. If I had realized before we got there that this was our 1st sporting event we've ever attended together I might have taken our camera. (Not really. That's how much we care about sports). It was fun to hang out in a suite, with catering, and watch a game. We kept hoping there would be a fight big enough to clear the stands or a hockey puck fly up into the crowd, but we got nothing more than a players getting shoved into the wall or "accidentally" hit.

It was rather enjoyable. Now I just don't know that we can go back to the regular seats. Ha! Like we ever went to sports stuff before...

I know I'm cute. I'm Scottish.

The last few weeks have been awful busy, but here are some highlights in pictures:

Sonic cups are hilarious. Simply move the straw up and down so you get the squeaky sound and you've got a giggly little boy. Talk about a whole new meaning to "Happy Hour".

Henry got some solids! He has tummy issues sometimes and apple sauce seemed like the best option for various reasons. He loves it!

The weather is warming up, so we've been spending time outside. Henry LOVES his new walker, so he scoots himself everywhere and it serves at great entertainment while I clean the fence. (More to come on the fence. I'm very excited about this project!)

He also got a new high chair/booster seat. He love it! He gets very excited when it's time to go in it.

He can't crawl yet, but he gets where he wants to go. Here he is caught in the act. I guess it's time to baby proof.

I thought we got pictures, but can't seem to find them at the moment, but he had oatmeal the yesterday night. I think he likes oatmeal better than apple sauce. He tried to pick the bowl up and drink it out of the bowl. (Now that I think about it, I bet I deleted the pictures already. :( Hopefully they turn up. Anyone know how to recover pictures deleted from a memory card?)

Do I know you?

Seriously. Does ANYONE know these people? I get emails from them constantly about family stuff, local events, the new group weight loss goal, kids soccer games, shopping days, etc. You name it, I've probably gotten an email about it. Here is a little of what I know. They obviously have a family member named Dixie Dixon, we've emailed back and forth a little and I know they live in the Mesa, Arizona area, the kids play soccer, someone in this picture thinks they're a "bunch of hotties", and according to the picture, they're a lot of BYU fans. Kinda random, but I'm starting to think I should just show up to a family event some day. Maybe I will!

4 Month Checkup

As usual, I'm a little slow, but Henry went for his 4 month check up when he was 4 months and 10 days. Here are his stats:

Weight: 13.36 lbs or the 13.83 %tile
Length: 25 inches or the 44.32 %tile
Head: 17 inches or the 68.59 %tile

So, we have a skinny, average lengthed, semi big headed boy on our hands. We think he's pretty cute. He had to have one vaccine by mouth and 2 shots this visit. He only cried for his second shot and he was smiling before the lady even left the room. What a champ!

These pictures are a from a couple days before. Henry was very interested in the water coming out of the faucet, so we let him play.

Nate finally got a picture or our nightly routine. He nights he sleeps in his crib, this is how he falls asleep.

I have to lean over the top of the crib and sing to him while rubbing his head. Sometimes he sucks my thumb. Sometimes we just put him in here and he falls asleep, but that doesn't happen very often.

Portland Wedding Fun

We spent the end of January in Oregon for Emily's wedding! I can't believe my tallest little sister is married! We did not want to chance there being bad weather, so we flew. Henry did very well on his first two air plane rides. He was a very interested in everything going on on the plane, so he didn't get but 20-30 min sleep each way. All of the wedding festivities were really nice. It's always nice when you get to see family that you usually don't get to see. Sadly we didn't get many pictures during wedding fun. We had a big enough job keeping Henry happy for the official pictures. Thanks to the help of the Butterfield Grandparents we were able to have a happy baby. I know Henry had fun meeting his Aunt Judy and playing with so many adoring fans.

I want to touch everything on this nasty plane then put my fingers in my mouth. Yumm!

I love Emily's face there.

Plane ride home. He decided he needed to have a stinky diaper each way.

Doing Laundry is Hard

Thought I would post a few pictures real quick. Henry is falling asleep in his crib at the moment, but we have to stay close in case he decides he needs a hug, so here they are. We kinda like him. He's a keeper.

Give me food!!

Laundry is so exhausting!

Just make it stop already!
