Ok, this month officially flew by! I don't know if it was because Matt and I are both working now or the fact that it's summer or the weekend trips - no matter what the cause, it seems like just yesterday I was taking their monthly photos.
This month Henry was all over his brother. He loves to grab onto things and apparently his brother was all he had eyes for. Thomas was pretty tolerant about the whole thing - he just kept pushing Henry's hand back "No baby."
But Henry was not so easily deterred! He kept reaching for his big brother. I could be crazy, but he really seems to love his older brother. The two of them holding hands was too ridiculously cute. :)
But due to all of the hand holding, shirt grabbing brotherly love, it was pretty challenging to get them to both look at the camera. This was the best I got. Thomas wasn't in the most smile-y of moods, but since I started taking photos as soon as he got up from a nap, you can't really blame him for not being *too* into it.
In fact, he was most interested in what his dad was doing outside. Henry looks after Thomas while Thomas looks after his dad. It's adorable!
Speaking of smiles... Henry is so full of them these days! He is such a ridiculously happy baby. He is always smiling! Smiling and always full of energy. It is not hard to get a photo of him smiling these days. :)
Oh look, there's my happy toddler! Maybe because his brother wasn't trying to grab on to him or he finally caught sight of his dad mowing and that made him happy. Either way, I love that smile.
And breaking the tradition of photos only in the chair, I was trying to get a photo of a smiling Henry and instead I caught a sneeze. Ha - sneezing baby photo! Does anyone else think this is cute or is it just because I'm his mom?
And back to our regularly scheduled photo taking...! Guess what he is looking at? If you guessed his brother, you would be so right! How long this brother infatuation lasts, I can not predict, but I love it while it lasts. :)
And since I already broke tradition, I have to share what Thomas was playing with after he fulfilled his monthly photo shoot obligations. My mom (who is in town!!) brought him this super cool Thomas the Train pop-up book. He loves Thomas the Train and how could a pop-up book of his favorite "choo-choo" not be his new favorite thing? And did I mention it makes noises on every page to? The best - though we did learn not the best choice for bedtime stories... ; )
