Time is flying by and things are going so well. Our little guy is almost 5 months old and thriving! He is now eating cereal 3 times a day and is always opening his mouth wide for the next spoonful. Feeding him is one of my favorite parts of the day because we giggle and he loves to sit in his highchair like a big boy. His new favorite toy in the high chair is my plastic measuring spoon bundle, which he loves to throw on the floor! Henry's personality has really started to shine and he is a very happy little guy. He loves to smile and does it all day long. He smiles after naps, during bottles, in his bouncy and even when his girlfriend Halle cries!!! We still get the occasional freak out from him but those times are easily forgotten with the next smile.
We had another big event happen...mommy left town for a whole weekend! Bill played Mr. Mom for a weekend while I went to Portland. The boys did so well together and it was such a great trip. The first morning I was gone I called and Bill shared with me that he was in the living room in his underwear trying to get dressed because it had been pretty crazy trying to care for Henry and himself at the same time. It made me giggle that Bill was going through a sort of parenting "boot camp" and was so honest with me about how it was crazy. I was so ready to come back on Sunday to relieve a tired and crazed Bill possibly still in his underwear, but when I came home I instead found things had calmed down and Bill was now super dad! He even bragged at how he and Henry went to the wine shop and picked out some great wines! I mark it as the weekend that Bill officially became a dad!
