Baby At The Top!

We went up in the tallest building in the world--The Burj Khalifa! It was pretty cool to be up so high. Henry started out in the baby carrier, since no strollers were allowed...but quickly grew tired of it so Mommy and (mostly) Daddy carried him instead.

Here are all some of us waiting to head in for the tour. Note baby IN the baby carrier.

About 5 minutes, later...

Baby hitching a ride from Mom and then Dad.

Baby's First Thanksgiving!

Here's Henry waiting for the guests to arrive in his swing.

Waiting eagerly...
Then, not so much:
Ugh! Where is the FUN already?!

At some point, Mommy changed him into his PJs before they arrived. He couldn't wait very long.

We are thankful for our awesome friends! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I took these LAST week at our FIRST Thanksgiving celebration at Aisha & Shahin's house--Paul was particularly proud of the duck he made. We took the turkey, duck and pumpkin pie. I forgot to take food pictures at our own party. Oh well.

A video only family can really appreciate...

It's basically a video of Henry doing...nothing. Just cooing and making sounds at his mobile. But it's what he likes to do!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all--we are celebrating with some friends tomorrow, so we will post photos of Henry's first Thanksgiving then!

funny baby!

Henry sure is a ham.

pay attention to me!

Henry's first "play" date at Seth's house

It didn't last long. In fact, about 2.5 minutes into being at Seth's house, Henry had a full-on overstimulated meltdown. I had to swaddle him up and carry him around for the next 45 minutes, at which point, we decided to call it a day and try again another time. Oh well.

(By the way, Seth is a few weeks older than Henry. But look at the size difference! You'd never guess that Henry was the younger one...)

Presents in the mail!

Henry got this cool outfit from his buddy Ben back in D.C.!
