Moments in the life of a 4 month old...

I know I need to get on Henry's 4 month update... before he is 5 months old! I only have a week left!

Here are some pictures of daily life with Henry from over the month of July from the i-pad. Enjoy!

I like to wear my shirts on my head.

Feet reading: it's all the rage.

You caught me relaxing. 

Reading bedtime stories with mama. 

Hipster baby.

Sweet sleeping Henry. 

Snuggling with my beloved blanket from when I was little. 

I love 4th of July! And also I love my feet! 

I am the king of drool. 

Oh mom, can't you be more exciting?

Henry Laughing!

We have a lot of great videos of Henry I've been meaning to share.  Here is one from last week, 7/2/12, of Henry laughing.  This was the second time he laughed for me, and I am so glad I was able to catch it on video, because he hasn't done it since!

Henry's Baptism

We celebrated the joy of Henry's baptism on Sunday, June 10, 2012 at Roncalli Newman Center.  This was a very special day for LJ and I, as it not only introduced Henry to a relationship with God, it welcomed him into a parish that we know and love.  A little over 4 years ago, LJ and I were married at the Newman Center, so it was very meaningful to have Henry baptized there.  

We were lucky enough to have lots of family in town to celebrate this joyous occasion.  Henry's God-parents, Megan and Joe Sustar, made the trek with their two, (almost three!) little girls, all the way from Belleville, IL.  Megan was 34 weeks pregnant, and we are so glad that she was able to make it!

Henry with his parents, both sets of grandparents, and his God-parents.  What a lucky guy!

Father Allen Wierzba performed the baptism at the 11:15am mass.

Reading the letter LJ and I wrote for Henry

Henry is baptized 

The beautiful gown Henry wore was lovingly made by Grandma Yak.  

Immediately after the mass my parents hosted a reception at their home.  It was a beautiful day that we were so happy to share with friends and family.
