Fall beach trip!

Last week, Henry and I spent 6 glorious days at the beach with my bff Hollie and her son Hampton who is also 4 1/2 months old. We spent the days playing on the beach, swimming in the pool, and taking maja pics of the two babies. For you Instagram users, search #adventuresofhamptonandhenry - their week at the beach was amazing and they're super Insta-popular. :) 

Before we headed to Florida, we spent a few days in Hawkinsville, but more on that next post. Here's my happy baby boy on his 4 month birthday, September 20th.

Our first afternoon at the beach was spent in the pool - Henry played and kicked so hard, I think it wore him out! Angel baby fell over on the sofa and just decided to stay there! 

The babies get up super early, so Hollie and I got to see the sun rise on the balcony most mornings!

Hampton and Henry both loved the amazing beach breeze we had all week! And so did their mommies! They napped on the beach too..it was wonderful!

Hollie had this super cool beach cart and I laid Henry on the towels while I pulled it up one afternoon. He grinned and smiled in the cart the whole way back to the condo! And that little leg hiked over the side was too much! 

Hampton let Henry borrow his shades...Henry LOVED them!

David and Wesley joined us later in the week - and the boys got geared up for the Georgia game!

Henry and Hampton were worried about the Dawgs pulling through....

But were so happy with the WIN!!!!

Here are a few more pics of our awesome trip...

We couldn't resist taking their picture one last time before we left. In matching outfits of course.

Our 4 month check up was this week when we got back home. Our Henry is 17.5 lbs and 26" long! He's 90% in weight and 95% in height - we are so proud of our big boy! He still loves milk, formula, and is now eating a little rice cereal. After a few not-so-fun-up-and-down-nights for Henry, he's slept through the night for the past 3 nights in a row. We decided not to swaddle anymore, and I think he loves being free. He's enjoying sleeping on his tummy some, and is great at rolling over! 

Henry loves to smile and laugh, and lights up when he meets a fellow smiler! He loves to stand up too, so we spend a lot of time in the excer-saucer, baby Bjorn, and playing on the floor. He's gotten so good at holding things, and grabs mommy's hair really well! :) His gums are swollen so the pediatrician said to expect a little tooth peeking out soon. 

Henry still loves bathtime...I think he'll love to swim. He really sticks to his 9ish bedtime - things head south pretty quickly around that time! And he'll sleep until anytime between 6 and 7am. 

We walk in the stroller a lot as Henry loves the outside; he is entertained by his play mat; and he loves when David tickles him. His laugh is the sweetest sound! He is "talking" a lot and cooing and has some powerful lungs! 

Here we are at our check up!
