Baby Bumbo!

We pulled out the bumbo yesterday now that Henry is sitting up better on his own. He was quite cautious at first and then let his guard down a bit, letting go of his hands and playing in the seat. In the end he was smiling and laughing! He likes sitting on his own now :)

Can't Get Enough!

I like my patches puppy

Yes, it's true - don't deny it!

Baby Portraits

Henry Tennyson Ross - 3 months old! He is growing so fast we just had to capture his current cuteness. Henry is all smiles now with a bit of drool mixed in there. He babbles all day long and mimics noises daddy and mommy make. He still enjoys sticking his tongue out at us and has become an expert at blowing bubbles. He loves having his diaper changed because his favorite toy above the changing table swings and play songs which leads him to smile big toothless grins and constantly coo back at it. His playmat has been getting a lot of use now that he is able to reach out and grab at the toys dangling in front of him. He constantly has his fists in his mouth (now that he's found them!) and enjoys chewing on his thumb and index finger, too. We enjoy singing nonsense songs to him, reading books to him and telling him our own make-believe stories. He is absolutely adorable, such a gem, and we love him so much!

Henry's First Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We had a full house last night and this morning celebrating Christmas with our families and eating wonderful food. It was great to see everyone and I'm sure they all loved to see Henry, too. He's quite the charmer =)

Our Christmas baby

Isn't he just precious!?!

What is this doing on my head?

Night, Night

Tug-a-war with Thor...who will win?

Vader! At the expense of the giraffe though...bye bye giraffe. It was fun while you lasted =)

Winter Wallop 2008

It is officially here! The biggest snow storm Brad and I can remember in a very long time. We have about 6 inches of snow, which in relative terms is not very much snow, but for Seattle it's quite a show. We decided to go out and play in the snow for a bit around midnight. The dogs had fun running around the yard and I made my first snow angel since college. We had a great time!

Santa and Henry's new trick!

We took Henry to see Santa at Bellevue Square Mall on Tuesday. There was no one in line, so Santa let us take some personal photos next to the reindeer!

Henry the reindeer!

Henry's new trick - sticking his tongue out!

He loves this trick!

Santa Ross

Santa made an early appearance at the Ross house this year. He was just too excited to meet Henry =)

Our favorite Christmas present under the tree...Henry! Got to love his shirt..."Peas on Earth, but not on my plate"
