He Smiles!

Henry has been giving us a crooked, goofy "smile" for a few weeks but I think that the real thing is finally here. What do you think?

We're Back

As many of you know, little Henry Bowman has been sick for the last few days. He came down with a severe case of thrush (look it up, it's gross) and a cold, which is tough on a little person who cannot clear his throat or blow his nose yet. It's also hard on the parents (especially Mom!) when he won't sleep without being held. But, Henry is on the mend. Now if Mom could just catch up on her sleep. She feels like she's in the middle of finals week after a series of all-nighters.


So, we have a lot of catching up to do. Henry got a visit from Pops Neal last weekend and had a great time. We explored Old Town Alexandria together and he helped Mom out while babysitting while she got out of the house. Unfortunately, it was only to get a physical but she greatly appreciated it!

It's like riding a bike. Check out the gut on that little guy!

10 lbs, 9 oz

At Henry's pediatrician appointment on Friday, he weighed in at 10 lbs, 9 oz. That is quite a change from his birth weight of 8 lbs, 2 oz. He looks like a very big boy until you see a picture like this one.

The Many Faces of Henry

Henry's Big Weekend

Henry had a big weekend - a visit from his Uncle Lane, wine club and touring around DC. It was a great one!

He's a natural!

Henry's first trip to the White House

Then, he decided he wanted to visit Australia...

and Iraq.

Our Little Pumpkin

Our little pumpkin was very excited to dig into the candy. Like his mom, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are his favorite. It must be genetic.







After stuffing himself, Henry is ready for a nap with Dad.
