Holy Henry

Henry was baptized on Sunday. We were all pretty exhausted from a tough battle with croup the night before but he did quite well during the ceremony. No tears or cries, just a lot of snot bubbles and a big noisy burp during Mass. Kristin and I (and Henry) would like to thank Jeremy and Jess for being Henry’s godparents, my parents for having everyone over afterwards, and all attendees. Traveling with kids is a pain, so I know it wasn't easy making it to the church on time. I’ll give extra props to my mom who made many of my favorite dishes to eat during the Packer game.

Ready for Church

With his Godparents; Uncle Jeremy + Auntie Jess

The dunking

Snapped the photo right before Cole decided to bonk Henry on the head

Henry and his Grandmas - in the dress that I, his Uncle Jeremy and Cole wore. It was a tight squeeze, he had super sausage baby arms

For comparison sake - Cole with the Grandmas at his baptism

In other news Henry now has two teeth and is on the move a lot. He mostly does baby pushups and planks but it starting to experiment with actual crawling moves.

St. Nick did come to visit Cole this year and he couldn't have cared less. It was a long process trying to get him to dig stuff out of his stocking. I am sure opening Christmas presents will be like pulling teeth and take all day.

Barely intersted

Finally digging towards the bottom

 

And its a book...yeah! Actually he likes books a lot. I'm afraid his reading level will soon surpass mine.

Cole has started to hide and will ask us, "Where did Cole go?" Unfortunately he is a horrible hider. This is him trying to hide behind the chair. As you can see, he is in plain sight. Although this is a step up from his usual, which is to hold a crayon or cup over his face and ask us "Where did Cole go?" It is getting tough to pretend and play along!
