Henry's 1st birthday

Henry turned 1-year-old today. He had a big weekend! Our celebration started Friday night when our Robertson cousins came to town. We played at Stephanie and Curt's house, but didn't stay too late because we hosted family and friends for Henry's 1st birthday party on Saturday. Bill grilled burgers and dogs and Henry destroyed his little birthday cake. It was quite amusing! There are lots of pictures - ENJOY!

Happy Birthday Henry!!

growing and preparing for #1

Henry has inherited a few outfits from Bill's childhood. This one he wore to church today. It's the perfect size for this wonderful, warm weather. I'm so glad that Patsy keep it, however, Henry will probably ruin it because he is so wild... maybe no more than his father was though.
After church, we changed into more comfortable clothes and went for a ride and later a walk... we ended up walking to Tomatino's for dinner. Bill, Henry and I sat outside and enjoyed the weather and good pizza! Henry wore his "Willie Bean for mayor" t-shirt. Winn brought it back from Fairhope last year. Willie Bean is a yellow lab that ran for mayor in Fairhope. It's a funny story... but even better shirt!

We are also preparing for the BIG NUMBER ONE!! Henry will be 1-year-old this coming Sunday. Time flies!! I'm so excited about this milestone. I love to see him grow and develop. He has such a fun and interesting personality.

Henry's first snow

We enjoyed Henry's first snow on Sunday. It was so beautiful! Henry and I got out early, but it wasn't until around 10 a.m. the snow stuck to the ground. Our yard was covered and we visited Cloverdale Park where we let Nelle run and play in the cloud of white. Nelle loves cold weather.... where I think Henry will be a warm-bug like me. He wasn't too happy in the park all bundled and cold, but he did enjoy the ride... or should I say drive.

babies!

This weekend I hosted two baby showers for two of my closest friends. It's still amazing that they are due five days apart! Anna is having a girl and Reba is having a boy... it's so much fun to see them planning for their new arrivals. We gave Anna a shower at Urban Standard in Birmingham on Saturday and Reba's shower was hosted by her aunt on Sunday. I unfortunately didn't make it to Reba's because of the small blizzard we had, but I do have a good picture of us from Anna's.

oh the gate!

Henry's new favorite play place is the gate at the bottom of our stairs. He gets behind the gate going up the stairs without assistance... because Mom can't help, of course! He's a big boy now and wants to do everything on his own. He gets really excited, as you can see.
