Il est très français, n'est-ce pas?

We found this hat and knew it had to be his...and the outfit...he's our little French clown!

(What can we say...we love him in hats!)

I Love Water Bottles

Ahhh...we buy so many toys and here's what he loves...

(I love how his feet are supporting the bottle in this one-hehe-little monkey feet!)

Friends and Family

We love when Hank gets to spend time with friends and family...

New High Chair

Hank started to eat solid foods at the very beginning of his fifth month (part of the plan to get him poopin'!). We started by feeding him in his bouncer, then the bumbo, and finally, with his new ability to sit up, it was time to get a high chair. We researched and looked for the best one for our little guy...there was a really fancy one that looks like a barber's chair, but the reviews said they seemed to squish their sons private parts...so that was OUT! Then there was the old fashioned one that Grandma Hardy had from when she was little, but it had rusty parts that we still hadn't fixed up and lacked in the padding...so that was OUT! Then, we found the ZEN collection from Fisher Price. SOOOO GIMICKY! They try to say it brings calm to your baby, that they'll feel inner piece from the tranquil colors, and dark wood accents. It could only be found online and isn't even available in OR or WA...it's all just HOGWASH...but we bought it anyway-hahaha-SUCKERS!
And here it is! Don't you just feel at peace looking at it? hahaha Here's video from his first time sitting in it!



Meeting Big Boy...the most patient cat in the world

At the beginning of March, Hank met Biggie and it was love at first sight. Big Boy let him pull on his fur and do all the things that our cat won't allow him to do! It was also the first time Hank was photographed sitting all on his own...
Now that's a big kitty!
"I'll love you, and squeeze you, and hold you, FOREVER!"
We meet again!

4th Month in a Nutshell

Here are a few pictures from my fourth month...now I'm almost six months old!
Wow...time for mom to get updating!
Keep your eye out for posts with me on my horse...I'm trying to get one for every month (oops, there won't be any for months 2 and 3):At the doctor...where they told me I'm too skinny and need help poopin'...then gave me a bunch of shots. Doesn't that just stink! You can tell this is at the BEGINNING of the appointment!
And here's me after with my "war wounds":
Here I am at Geraldine's Cafe...it's right before I started sitting up, so I just rolled all over the table and attacked whatever I could find!Valentine's Day!

I love the bath!
At Pike Place Market at Uncle Asher's booth and with Dad at the Pig:
