Headed to Spokane...

We are headed to Spokane to see family and friends. We are going to Spokane for Josh and Stefanie's wedding reception and to see "Grandma and Grandpa" for Henry...and then we are headed down to Moscow (Valentines' Day) so we can meet up with friends (that are like family) so they can meet Henry for the first time! Oh and Brad will get to see the Kibbie Dome up close and personal (which he is really looking forward to) We are super excited!!! Henry doesn't know what's coming but he will definitely be tired afterwards. It should be a great time!! Henry gets to spend time with Grandpa Carpenter and Grandma and Grandpa Poe...Plus Aunt Stefanie and Uncle Josh and cousin Delilah...and many more people he hasn't met yet.

Red gets to spend some quality time with the couch, the beds and Jordan...Thank you Jordan for taking care of Red for us :) We just couldn't do it without you!!!

5 months old

Blue mornings :)
Hanging out in the grass

on the tractor with daddy

Hanging out on the couch

And of course, doing what he loves...eating his hands

Not much happening at the Poe house...just watching Henry get bigger and bigger. We are headed to Spokane, WA to visit with friends and family (Stef's wedding reception) and the heading down to Moscow to introduce Henry to people!!! We are excited to see everyone...and have them meet our little guy we have been raving about!

Henry is starting to sit better (unassisted) and seems to be learning more things every day. He keeps us on our toes...Brad was sure he was going to start crawling. He still needs to work on his biceps, to get strong enough to hold himself up :) Henry is playing more and talking...and laughing!!! OOHHH how I love his laugh.

For my birthday, we had some people over for a fiesta taco night. It was fun! We finally got to meet Jeff and Chandra's daughter Arden!! She seemed so tiny compared to Henry (which yes, Henry was as small as she is now...when he was a month old) Crazy how fast Henry has grown!!

Henry's now eating...

Solids every day, 3 times a day. He is expanding his repertoire of foods. He is now up to green beans, carrots, squash, zucchini, peas, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches, pears, mangoes, applesauce, prunes, avocados, & rice cereal plus of course trying to drink out of a cup (no sippy cup because he doesn't like it). He is learning so much these days. He is really taking in his environment and starting to be able to recognize things. Its all very exciting!
