182.621099 days


Good Golly miss MOLLY!! Henry has reached the 182 day mark. He is 6 MONTHS OLD!
I really feel like I've tried to savor this little one, but looking back now, its been 6 MONTHS, and I fell like I've missed so much!
Henry is happy 99.5% of the time. honest.
He LOVES him some potatoes, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes....
He wiggles like crazy when he hears you coming in his door to get him.
Does a little snorting thing when excited.
Smiles at EVERYONE.
Jabbers most his waking hours.
Loves LOVES to be tickled, epically by the kids. (by them shaking their heads on his tummy)
Has been sitting up for 2 weeks now.
Oh how we love you Henry!

Yes, those are piggies in Luces hair. The back and sides are long enough to put up,
but the top still has some growing to do.
Finally, after nearly 3 YEARS, I did Luces hair for the first time!!
My darling friend Kari and her girls came with us to Alexandria.
While there, the kids got fireman hats, ate cupcakes, fed the ducks, and soaked in the last of the summer sun.
Charlie and Hayden.
(Funny thing about these guys, they have a dog named Matt. While on vaca. the other week,
Charlie woke up in the middle of the night and yelled "MATT". )
Picnic in the park
How cute is this!!!!
My DARLING husband bathes and read books to the kids every night.
Henry has been on the same sleep schedule, but not been able to join story time,
until now!
Our zoo (which despite being free) leaves visitors wanting more.
However, they have an awesome aquarium!! These fish were HUGE.
Take note of the pink bird in front of Charlie.
This is the bird that practically ate Charlie for lunch.
Chars had walked up to it, and without a second thought,
the bird snatched Charlies arm in its beak.
It went nearly up to Charlies elbow, didn't hurt at all, but scared him to death.
It was kinda funny. Sorry Chars.
It had to be done.
Over the Labor Day Weekend, we went with our FAVORITE Virginia couple, Zack and Karlyn
to Sandy Shore State Park.
We had to see the beach one more time before summers end.
The newly ENGAGED couple!!! Can't wait!
Thanks to Uncle Z, Henry got his first feel of sand. How thoughtful!
This kid ought to be on Americas Got Talent!
Sitting up AND keeping a pretzel suspended in his mouth.
Sorry Karlyn. It HAD to be done. Toes in the sand.
Lucys favorite place to see the water, from afar. We'll get her yet!

We enjoyed a stroll around Annapolis, while the boys enjoyed the cool breeze in the stroller.
Annapolis is a charming port town, where the U.S. Naval Academy is located.
To welcome in his 6 month birthday (not really) , his first bike ride.
Loved it.
Our new favorite park, Clemyjontri Park.
In the famous Langley/ McLean neighborhood.
Its so big it has 4 outdoor "rooms"
but, the kids favorite part...
the Mary-GO-Round.
LOVED IT!
It was a crazy day to go because of the holiday, so the line for the M-G-R was outrageous, but I think this is where we'll be having Luces b-day party (shhh, don't tell!)

We had so much fun Jackie! I am glad you got toesie pictures. Did you know Lucy came out into the water with me? I held her and we waded out as far enough to be waist deep on me, and foot deep on her...she was ready to go back to shore after that. I'm disappointed that you didn't do a heart with J & J in the middle....oh well....
