Puerto Rico

Henry took his very first "really long" trip. He was a superstar on the plane from L.A. (Leaving our house at 4am) to DFW changing planes, and flying into San Juan. Arriving there at approximately 8pm PR time (4pm L.A. time) The trip was an amazing whirlwind of new people, (it was a CA club trip so many of daddy's co-workers), exciting adventures, lounging by the pool, getting a cartoon drawn of Henry, going down his first waterslide& going in the ocean. Most of all, Henry did not go un-noticed. People could not believe how mellow he was and asked if we had been putting "something" in his food to keep him so chill. He was the life of every party (out till all hours keeping West coast time, which was 4 hours behind) and always dressed like a trendy rockstar (so we were told.)

Mommy and Daddy had fun too, especially getting to share their baby with everyone. Henry continued to do amazing, the babysitter at the hotel that watched while mommy and daddy went to dinner said he was an angel, and the plane ride home (7&1/2 hours straight) Henry hardly fussed, but at the end when he had had enough and just needed his own bed. What a Good Boy!! You can imagine, we were quite the proud parents:) 

Henry fights the "Sleepmonster"!!!

Due to Henry cutting his first tooth while in Mammoth, he was extremely exhausted (as were his mommy&daddy) He did not want to miss out on all the fun everyone was having, so he refused to fall asleep.

Nonnie&Papa's 60th

Henry went to his Nonnie&Papa Bartolone's 60th birthday party . It was themed "A night with the stars." Mommy&Daddy and Henry had to dress up as Movie charachters. We chose to dress up as the cast of "Something about Mary." Mommy is Mary, Daddy is the slimey investigator, and Henry got to be the "star" Magda's pooch.

Visiting Lucy

I don't have any pictures to prove it, but Mommy and me went up to Mammoth to visit my newest cousin Lucy. We had so much fun. I really like her. She just kind of lays there though, oh and eats and sleeps. Mommy tells me that's all I used to do to awhile back, so I will give her some grace. I can't wait to see her again soon!!

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!!
