While at Aunt Julie's today, we introduced Henry to his mirror image. I think he liked what he saw...

My sister...

...is currently in Boston...eating cannolis. I'm a wee bit jealous to say the least.

But hey, at least my bag made the trip:

Henry's first baseball game!

No, it wasn't the Dodgers...but it was the Fresno Grizzlies...and it was baseball, and that's all that matters. Henry was an absolute gem during the entire game. He stayed awake the whole time and hardly made a peep. It helped that the weather was literally PERFECT, cool enough to be comfortable, with just the right amount of breeze blowing through the stadium. We couldn't have asked for better.

For those of you who may be wondering if John sacrificed score-keeping for Henry holding...here's proof, he did indeed take time DURING the game (as opposed to between innings) to hold his son and introduce him to the joys of baseball.

However, lest you think he sacrificed his score keeping completely you would be mistaken...thank goodness Brian went to the game with us so that John could copy his scorebook after his Henry holding turns were up :)

Henry loves his Aunt Jill

See that lady behind Henry's shoulder?...She and her husband and the other couple they were with loved Henry. They were constantly trying to talk to him and make him laugh. They were pretty funny.

Isn't that the cutest little baseball butt you ever did see?

Jay, Jill, Brian, John, Henry, and me

10 weeks...

Yikes! Double digits!

Look at that face...

With stuffed animal:
10-week highlights:

• Our favorite time of the day with Henry is the morning. He almost always wakes up happy and is now content to lay in his bassinet and talk to himself for almost 30 minutes. It's just about the sweetest thing you ever heard.
• Henry is now consistently sleeping about 8 hours per night. His longest sleep stretch was 9 1/2 hours! (We know this may very well change, but we sure are enjoying it now :)
• Henry is sucking on his thumb & fist even more than before.
• Henry loves to be outside. He loves to feel the breeze and listen to the birds.
• Henry loves his grandparents and aunts & uncles. He always gives them lots of smiles and loves to talk to them too.
