Go Rockies!

Henry's first baseball game.

Yes, for as big of a Twins fan as I am, I can't believe Henry made it to a Rockies game before he made it to a Twins game. We definitely have to get to one at home before the season is done, especially because Henry has so many cute Twins outfits!

"Mom, seriously, can you please tell her to stop poking me in the face? Does it look like I'm enjoying this?"
Soooo many people asked, "are they twins?" at the game.

Chillin' with my cousin

Riley seemed to think Henry was just the perfect height to pull herself up to stand.
Here poor Henry is in the Bumbo with his lamb while Riley is ripping his clothes off in order to stand up!

Henry takes it like a champ!
He has 2 girl cousins that may just boss him around when they all get older!

Rest break to taste test the Bumbo. Does Henry's expression ever change? Very serious.

And this is when we had to break it up.
It's all fun and games until somebody gets a hand to the face!

How cute are they in their pj's?

Once again......a hand in the face meant the party had to stop!

Beach babes

Is she for real? Can that cousin Riley get any cuter? Yes, Riley is only 5 1/2 months old......sits up on her own, crawls all over the house now, and pulls herself to stand up on her own too. She's crazy strong!!

Yes, Henry is bigger than she is too! She is such a peanut and Henry's packing on the lb's.
Of course Riley loved the water.......

....Henry wasn't the biggest fan of it! "Too cold, Mom, too cold!"

Henry's first hike

Steph, Chris, and Riley are avid hikers. I didn't know how I'd do, being extremely out of shape and all, 10,000 feet up there, and carrying 13-pound Henry on me. It was a busy (and quite rocky) trail with lots of hikers. Henry wasn't the happiest baby on the block (aka crying) the first half of the hike, but then I turned him around so he could face outward and he was a much happier camper after that! "I just wanted to take in all the sights, Mom, duh!"

Sonja flew with Henry and I to Denver as well. Thanks for all the help, Auntie!


Yes, that's snow in the background. It was 95* in Denver and 60* when we got up there!

Sonja, Sarah, and Stephanie

The Darcy family, Sonja, Sarah & Henry, Molly & Andy. We loved getting to see Molly & Andy too, now that they live in Denver!

Tap the Rockies

This past weekend was another one of "first's" for Henry during his visit to Denver! He was such a busy boy with many new adventures.......first flight, first hike, first swim, and the best part of all, first time meeting his cousin Riley.



Just chillin' at the airport, waiting for my flight.

Such a big boy holding his boarding pass.

2 Months Old!

Henry had his 2-month check-up yesterday at the doctor's office.
He's tipping the scales at 12lbs & 8 oz, measuring 23 1/2 inches long, and a big brain size of 39 1/2 inches (ok, head size). He's in the 75th percentile for both height and weight, such a big boy!
Wow, these 2 months have flown by. What an absolute joy they've been!

Pearl Jam

For those of you that don't know, Phil and his college buddies are pretty big fans of Pearl Jam. Who wouldn't love Pearl Jam, right? Here are the proud dads with their Pearl Jam babies, one of Henry's girlfriend's, Amerie and her dad Nick Zewers.


Our baby boy sure is a good sleeper, especially when I want to get some pictures.
What can I do?!
