4 month's old

Henri turned 4 month's old today. He has changed so much since we first brought him home from the hospital. His biggest accomplishments are rolling over from his back to his tummy by himself and realizing he has a voice. He sure can scream. So at what point can you teach a 4 month old to use his inside voice??? He loves to chew on his daddy's shoulder, my fingers, and his hands. Henri loves loves loves to be held up so he can stand on his feet. He does his baby squats and likes to walk down my thighs. He will now yell at me to hold him upright. I'm hoping I have some awesome biceps in the next month or two =)

He is sleeping 9-10 hours through the night now, but no naps during the day. I'll take it! He can start food anytime now, but he isn't interested yet so we'll try soon enough. His doctor said he is growing perfectly. His stat's are:

Height: 24 in
Weight: 15.2 lbs

Holding me down by my hair and trying to eat it too!

We have a roller!!!

We've been practicing lots of tummy time and rolling around on the bed, and it has finally paid off. He was to the point that he liked being on his stomach but couldn't get himself there on his own. So he would roll to his side, rear back his head, and scream for me to pull him the rest of the way to his belly. I walked out of the room to throw something away, for about 10 seconds, and I heard the roll me over scream. I come back and he is on his belly. I put him back on his back and this is what happend next:

I couldn't be more proud and now, more concerned for turning my back now. P.S. Sorry for the narration..

Happy Mother's Day and Happy 6 year Anniversary!!

We were back and forth on going out of town or staying in Zurich for Mother's Day and our Anniversary. The weather looked terrible everywhere but Zurich. At the last minute it changed to Sunny in Lugano so we took off saturday morning and decided to stay the night to celebrate. It was totally worth it. The weather was beautiful in Lugano. Most importantly it was SUNNY!! We haven't seen much of the sun in the last few weeks/ months. Henri was an excellent traveler. He didn't sleep  much but hung out and caught all the ladies's attention. All the Swiss ladies were cooing at him and talking to him during the trip. The italian one's were all over him too once we got to lugano.

Lugano is definitely a strolling by the water kind of town. So we headed straight to the lake and parked ourselves on a bench to relax by the water. Plus Henri needed to eat. They had a park and a beautiful old town so we walked around for most of Saturday enjoying the nice weather.

We checked into our hotel in the late afternoon. The hotel was so great. They had already taken our luggage to our room and set up a crib for henri. On all 3 of our pillow's were little tiny cookies. It was really sweet. We let Henri roll around for a little while on our bed and got ready for dinner.

We found a really nice restaurant on top of the hill where we could see out on Lugano. Henri wasn't really all about dinner but as soon as he started eating he was much better.

We tried to keep to our normal schedule at home which worked out well except for bath time. We didn't bring henri's bath seat because we didn't realize there was a tub. So Adam, Mr. Bathtime, got in and held Henri in the tub. Then proceeded to scrub him down quickly. Quickly was not soon enough for Henri. This was new and he did not like it. He freaked out in about 5 seconds. Adam scrubbed fast and handed him to me. I had to roll him in the towel and walk around our room for a few minutes before he stopped freaking out. After that episode we got him in his jammies, fed, and he was out in about 30 min.

On Sunday, we had breakfast, walked around town a little more, then caught the 12:10 train back to Zurich. We wanted the afternoon/evening to get Henri back on track before monday. Overall Henri was fantastic on the entire trip and we are looking forward to more trips in our future now.

Henri and I Happy 1st Mother's Day to me!

Adam and I Happy 6th Anniversary
