Henry has been growing like the proverbial weed and gets more alert and curious every day. He especially loooooves bath time and just being naked in general.
Henry also loves his daddy.
We had several fun visitors this month. Judge Gonzales came to town for an interview and stopped in for dinner one night and to meet our little man. Friends Grant and Amanda and Raquel joined in the fun. It was so awesome to see them.
Jon headed to Washington state for a work trip in October which gave Gramma Nelson an excuse to come help Carrie for a few days. No one elicits squeals and smiles from Henry quite like Laurel.
Gramma also can't resist buying Henry new clothes and goodies. Check out the new hat!
Carrie and good friend Christina packed up Henry and headed to the pumpkin patch one weekend.
The all-important outdoorsy pumpkin patching outfit:
The finished product:
It turns out that two-month-olds aren't really into trick-or-treating. Or candy. Or being awake for much longer than an hour at a time. But that didn't stop mom from getting him into his tootsie roll costume for a few minutes. Four to be exact.
And the backup (and more comfortable) skeleton halloween costume
Russ Morton stopped into town for a few days and popped in to meet Henry. Russ is clearly a natural.
And Friend and neighbor Nora Hoffman-White (who also makes a tasty lasagna -- thanks, Nora!):
Here's Carrie out shopping with the little man. Turns out it takes at least two people to get Henry in and out of this contraption. But he sure looks comfy.
Poor Gunnar has been feeling a little blue these past few weeks. Maybe showing him some love on the blog will cheer him up.
Henry aced his two-month checkup in early November, weighing in at about 11.5 lbs and "standing" 24 inches. Such a big boy!
That's it for month two. More to come soon!
