Henry's First Christmas...

Well, it came and went so quickly. Christmas 2008, Henry's 1st Christmas. He got to spend time with Grammy& Gramps Sibert from Oregon. Who, missed the greatest snowstorm since his daddy was a little boy, because they were with Henry!  On Christmas Eve, Henry got to spend time with Nonnie&Papa, Uncle Dommy&aunti Brenda and cousins Sofia&Olivia. Then after Christmas saw his great-aunties & uncles and some cousins on his mommies side of the family in Whittier. And last but not least, Henry got to visit his great-gramma& Papa Faye. It was a whirlwind of wrapping paper, boxes and gifts, but Henry had a great time, preferring the paper over the gifts. As you can see in the pictures....  

Henry's First Cold...

'Tis the season, fo' shizzle. As Henry started sneezing yesterday and his little eyes were watery with read rings around them. As usual though, he smiled throughout the day. He was even an angel for the babysitter. As mommy&daddy went to a Christmas party last night (this was the first babysitter Henry has had-other than friends or family.) He woke up at midnight crying and stuffy, then about every two hours. Poor baby he could hardly breathe. In the morning mommy called the doctor, but basically all you can do is use a humidifier and saline drops and be sure he gets lots of rest. No juice or chicken noodle soup for this little breast-fed man.  We had originally planned a pretty full day, we were going to visit some family in Whittier, but had to cancel due to Henry being sick. We were sad, but that's ok, we will have a make up day. Next exciting thing will be Grammy&Gramps Sibert arriving from Oregon tomorrow. We cannot wait to see them!!

Christmas is Here!!!

Wow!! How quickly time flies!! Henry will be 6 months old on the 24th of December!! Oh my goodness! He is sitting up, scooting on his tum,tum (as we like to call it) "talking" and getting ready to eat solids. He watches mommy and daddy very intently when we are eating, and grabs at our silverware.  On December 4th, Henry met Santa for the first time at the Grove, then on the 5th, met him again (a must nicer one may I add) at another function. Christmas is quickly approaching, and Grammy and Grandpa from Oregon are coming to visit. Henry has been "helping" mommy bake (he coaches her from his excer-saucer) he has even opened a couple of pre christmas gifts Grammy&Grandpa Sibert sent. Out of everything though, Henry especially LOVES  the lights!! He is absolutely                                         fascinated with them. Overall, Henry is so excited for the big day!!
