Bells in Texas

It's hard to believe our little boy is already 3 months old! I went back to work this past month, and Henry started daycare. JCPenney has a corporate daycare on-site, which has been great. I am able to go and visit him whenever I want, and it's such a fun little break in my work day! I go and play with him and even feed him a bottle sometimes. He is adjusting very well and really seems to like being around the other babies and all of the activity (despite catching croup his very first week!). His teachers keep telling me what a good baby he is--which of course we already knew :-) Henry has become so much fun in the past few weeks. His favorite pasttimes include: giving everyone big smiles, giggling, attempting to put his whole fist in his mouth (quite humorous to watch), bath time, playing on his activity mat, "talking" to us, people-watching, trying to stand on his own when we hold him up (he's really strong!) and sleeping for a 7 hour stretch at night (sounds great...except he goes to bed at 7:00).

Here are a few pictures from the past month. We also just had his 3 month pictures done; I will post those soon.

Henry on his playmat. Max is very intrigued by it as well.

Conked out with Daddy.


When Henry was 2.5 months old, I put him in this outfit which I had intended to be his "going home" outfit from the hospital. It finally fits him! I think it's funny how off I was :-)

Mom's first week back at work, while Henry stayed home with Dad for a week of Father/son time :-)

All set for the first day of daycare

Adam is coaching 7 and 8-year old football this fall. We went to watch one of his games.

Grandma and Grandpa Carlson came to visit and take care of Henry for a week before he started daycare.

I ordered Henry a high chair, and couldn't resist putting him in it, even though he won't start eating solid foods for a couple of months at least. He looked so tiny in it!

We finally had some cool weather, and lit our first fire of the season in our fire place. Henry was so mesmerized by the light.

Staring intensely at the fire (wearing his bear bib because he had just eaten).

Bath time with Mommy in his cute little robe that Aunt Virgie sent him.
