Indoor Digging

When it's winter, you get creative and today, Hank got to play "in the dirt" with his big buddy, Luke, who is 3 1/2 yrs old.

Hank was much more into playing with the scoops and trucks, but it's his first time getting dirty, so we're sure he'll get more and more interested as time goes on.
Thanks, Becki, Luke and baby Maria for another great playdate!

All Trimmed Up

Yesterday, Hank got his second haircut. It had been two months since those first thick, wavy locks had been snipped. During his haircut, Hank was very upset, but this morning, he is much happier and ready to show off his big boy haircut!

Hank's Twelve Month Checkup

Hank is growing like a champ!

He weighs 20 lb. 7.5 oz. (20th%).

He is 29.5 inches long (40th%).

His head circumference is 18.5 inches (70th%).

At this point, we guess all the food he eats is going to his brain!!

Hank's First Birthday!

Did you hear the news?!

Today is Hank's 1st Birthday!

Cindy made sure that Hank's birthday was one to remember, filled with cake, balloons and cheer! Hank chose to eat his cupcake with a spoon - hey, it's yummy anyway you eat it.

Grandpa got into the festivities, too.

So today we officially say goodbye to our baby and hello to our toddler!!

Happy Birthday, Hank!

A Visit with Michelle

Today we drove to Sarasota to meet up with Mommy's dear friend, Michelle. Last time we saw Michelle, she was a brand new mommy. That was over two years ago.

Amazing how our lives and families have grown and changed so much since then!
Thanks for a great afternoon, Michelle - we love you!

Beach Baby

Hank loved the sand, the water, the shells, the sounds, and of course, the sun! And yes, we're going back to do it all over again!!

Hank's First Days in Florida

Hello Grandpa and Cindy!

It was -14 degrees when we left CO, but now we're in Florida for a week of sun and fun!
Hank's been enjoying the change, especially cruising on the sidewalk and checking out the scenery. Hank even got in a pool for the very first time. He was scared at first, but it was eventually all good in Daddy's arms.

It's been a great start to our vacation. Next up - the beach!
