Henry & Friends

Henry appears to enjoy hanging out with his peers from Lori's mom's group, even though the moms insisted on photographing the innocent kids in a von Trapp-style stairstep arrangement. Fortunately, Henry's early friends are too young to ridicule him for his position at the end of the line.

#1 Babysitter

I love this photo: Nana, high-water khaki pants, and humiliating wrist rattles that allegedly stimulate early childhood development while boosting Chinese GDP.

How many Bowmans can squeeze into a D.C. condo?

We were thrilled that Grandpa Jack and Nana Neal visited D.C. in early December. Dr. J's colleague wrote a wonderful musical about Teddy Roosevelt, and we viewed the premier at the Kennedy Center. Henry ditched the show, stayed home with Nana Neal, and received lots of tender love and care - can you blame him? Someday he'll be old enough to appreciate all that the Kennedy Center has to offer. Until then, we're encouraging everyone to fly here and babysit.

Galatasary

As you can see in the photo, Henry is a pretty huge fan of the Galatasary football team; evidentely his study abroad program in Istanbul was quite meaningful. We're encouraging his early cultural awareness, but at some point we'll explain the difference between American football and fake football.

Happy Turkey Day

Henry had a great first Thanksgiving. He wasn't much help in the kitchen but he was thrilled to meet his Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Ben. His weekend was topped off with an awesome Sooner victory! Thanks for the cute turkey bib, Aunt Juanita!

Henry is enjoying the football game from his bouncy seat.

VICTORY! Boomer Sooner!
