High Trestle Trail

Last weekend we packed up the Henry herd and headed to High Trestle Trail. We walked 2.5 miles to the bridge and 2.5 back. Some of us had a nap during the walk. The rest of us were all tuckered out after the walk. 

4 Months

Evan is getting more and more interactive. He will tell you a few wild and crazy stories, but mostly still observes quietly. Each month is more fun than the last. 

New Tricks: rolling, laughing, blowing bubbles, and much more talking

Likes: anything moving, being outside, and playing on his play mat

Hates: bedtime 

Me and My Tongue

Evan has been fascinated with his tongue since the day he found it. He loves to show it off to anyone who will look his way.  

Shhhh

I love a good sleeping baby picture. They always look so peaceful, I just have to capture the moment.

There is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby. Except maybe a smiling one...

3 Months

Evan is no longer an infant. He is a baby quickly becoming a little boy. His new trick this month was rolling over, but he's since forgotten how to do that. He rolled from his stomach to his back 6 times in two days and has not done it since. 

He is a quiet observer. He loves to know what is going on everywhere. He is rarely very upset and not much gets him too excited; a very even tempered guy. 

Lake Life

We spent the 4th of July at our friend's parents' house on Twin Lake. We enjoyed cruising around the lake and floating by the dock while Evan sat under the shade of his umbrella watching the boats go by. We ended the day with a delicious smorgasbord of smoked meats.

We hope everybody had a happy 4th!

Baptism

Yesterday, Evan was baptized at St. James Lutheran Church. The gown he wore was made by my grandma 65 years ago for my uncle. It has been worn by 10 babies in 3 generations. The church was filled with people who love Evan.
