Henry's First Dance Video_sm.m4v

We have quickly realized that Henry LOVES to dance! His favorite kinds of music are rap/hip hop, pop, and early 2000's club/house music. He has a special place in his heart for Michael Jackson too. Here is Henry showing off his sweet moves and fancy footwork set to the track of one of his favorite songs.

1st Halloween

Today was the downtown trick-or-treating event for the kiddies. Henry was a very cute, not very scary skeleton and I was his crazy nanny. I was going for a Janosz from Ghostbusters 2 look (when he is possessed and takes Oscar in the night), but not so sure I achieved it. Oh well. We hit up the event early as to avoid the total chaos that ensues on a 60 degree Halloween event. Not much candy was collected, but we still had fun and heard lots of, "oh what a CUTE skeleton!"

It's fall.

Well, it's almost November and we sure have lucked out this fall. We might get our first snow in town tonight, or tomorrow. For the most part it's been in the 60s and 70s for the last month! Here are some fall shots from a hike today.

Fall photo shoot

New season + new camera + nice day = Henry fashion shots

We've had atypically nice weather and decided to try and see how the new Nikon does. Henry didn't like having the evening sun in his eyes, so we had to shade him if we wanted to see his blue eyes.
Oh, and Henry is now big (and stable) enough for the Jumperoo! He still hasn't figured it totally out, but it certainly beats being in the smaller bouncy seat.

Sesame Street is Crack

Like all good parents, we've got our kid started young. Holly decided to see what would happen if he saw muppets, and it was like he was hypnotized. If he gets really fussy, this takes care of it in an instant.

He only needs about 5 minutes of Big Bird to go completely docile.

No posts for awhile, we've been busy, but here are a few from the last week.
Here we are hiking south cottonwood creek this weekend.


Here's Henry getting a story read to him, he's not sure about the concept of story time, but seems to like the colors in the books.

Here's Henry pondering the Universe... are we but specs of dust and time?
Tummy time is yielding a stronger head, and the composure of a sloth, just try and make him blink... I bet you blink first.

It's been a long weekend and Holly and I will be hitting the sack, (not even 8pm yet).
