Lunch Club Reunion

Last night, Lance and I went to the McEvoys for a lunch club renunion.  We were missing Lindsey, Brentley, and Marcus but it is so hard to get us all in one place now.  "The lunch club" consists of my four closest friends from dental school..Erin, Julie, Morgan, Lindsey (and me).  We now have two babies from the group...Gia and Henry! A second generation of lunch clubbers;)  We had an amazing dinner last night.  Curry has become an expert on the egg and the food was fabulous! Oh and it was Gia and Henry's second date...a little more successful than their first.  This time they noticed eachother...Gia was a little more alert for this one and Henry maintained his "play hard to get" stance!

Henry loves his Aunt Morgie!

How beautiful is baby Gia?!?!

What a sweet picture!

Gia trying to wake up Henry for their date:)

Baby Gia hung out in Morgan's basket during dinner! 

We celebrated Curry's birthday too!

Time for some action.

Gia is one curious baby! She wanted to play with Henry...and when he was awake..he did too:)

Gia loves her "younger man"!

Too sweet!

Have a fabulous weekend:)

Grandma's boy

This is what happens when Grandma comes to visit....

Lots of hugs...

And lots of spoiling...

I mean...can this bear (or baby) get any bigger?!?!

Happy Tuesday!



Lately at the Smith House

This past week or so has been SUPER hectic here at the Smith House.  Full of fun times but definitely not 'relaxing'. One big event...Henry has a Godmother!  Henry chose Aunt Shelley to be his Godmother.  Last Sunday, he popped the big question!

 Henry found this beautiful Blue Diamond Orchid as a gift for his sweet Aunt Shelley! Shelley has done so much for Baby Henry since before he was even born.  She was the first person besides Mommy and Daddy of course that new he even existed:)

And she said YES!! I know these two will have many adventures.  We will be baptizing Henry very soon and we can't wait!

 Henry is growing so fast everyday.  He loves playing on his activity mat, loves laughing at Savannah, and absolutely LOVES taking a bath.  He also loves pooping in the tub...which is a completely different story (kinda gross)...but had to mention it cause this happens nightly!

BIG baby Henry is almost 14 pounds!

He loves to laugh and I am convinced he can say "hello."  Everybody doubts me until they actually hear it for themselves.  Henry loves to coo and laugh when you talk to him but when he hears me say hello he tries to imitate me.  Lance is trying to catch it on tape and I will post it when I get it:)

Henry is at his best right after his bath and before bedtime!

He is a giggle monster!

Aunt Shelley learns how important the Bjorn is to the Smith House!

Grammy came to visit this past weekend.  They had a great time together and Lance and I got our first date night out.  We kept with tradition and saw the new HarryPotter film with Lora and Nick.  I'm not gonna lie...it was fabulous getting out of the house sans bebe! But I barely made it through the previews before I was checking for texts from Grammy to make sure he was okay.

 I also started working again, part-time.  I joined one of my closest and long time friends, Lora and her beautiful practice at The Narrows.  She has a wonderful and dedicated staff that I've already enjoyed working with.  It is great to be back practicing dentistry after so many months off.  It is also wonderful coming home to my chub:) My sweet mom is driving up and staying with us to take care of Henry while I work during the week.  It is such a blessing to have her here!

Going back to work has definitely made me appreciate my special time with Baby Henry even more!!

Last big thing of the week...Henry is now able to sit up in his bumpo.  He looks so grown up..it almost makes me sad! Wow how life flies by!!

Newborn Session

Here are some of our pictures from our newborn session with Heather Swanner. We have a ton more..but here are a couple of our favorites! Enjoy:)

The picture below makes me laugh. Henry obviously was 'diaperless' and was so comfy being held by Lance that he had a HUGE accident...down Lance's arm and all over his shirt and pants.  So much so that the photographer sent Lance home to change!! What a memory:) Henry does look relaxed though!

Here is Baby Henry with Lance's law books...Lance was in the middle of finals when Henry was born...perfect timing right?

I love Henry's Elvis hair here.. he slept pretty much the whole time:)

The one below is one of my personal favs...what a kissy face!!

I love Henry's toes here...Lance said they look like little caterpillars!

We carried the cradle that Great Grandad Henry Smith made to the studio. Totally worth the effort.  The blanket he is laying on was made by his Great Great-grandmother! A very special picture for us!

I know I've said this before but Heather Swanner is AMAZING! The whole process was so relaxing and she does an amazing job capturing those precious baby pictures.  We were home for about three days when we had our session and she took great care of all of us.  I know Henry will probably laugh at me for loving some of the poses..but who cares!!! I will treasure them!  There are about eighty more pictures I could put up here but that would take forever.  I can't wait to go back for Henry's six month pictures...

Vroom Vroom

 Thought this might gets some laughs...

Henry revving up his Harley:)

Happy Saturday!

Henry's first date

Tonight Henry went on his first date.  Lance and I had dinner with our friends Erin and Mark and their adorable baby girl Gia.  She is a couple of months older than Henry and a total doll! The babies actually did great but had a total melt down when we tried to take their pics.  I couldn't stop laughing at how wonderful the pictures are....

Mark comes to the rescue!

Babies are happy again! What a fun night.  Henry did get a sloppy kiss at the end of his first date! I know these two will have many more fun playdates:)
