Henry meets the Polaneks!

Hello everyone, well it looks as though summer has finally hit the midwest. Since it's sort of nasty outside Henry and I are hanging out in the comfort of our air conditioned condo today so I thought it would be a good time to update you on what he's been up to. This weekend Henry got his first chance to meet the Polanek clan in full at Sigrid and Rich's house in Elmwood Park. We had a great time and although I believe that Henry has some of my genes somewhere in his tiny body, the Polish gene so far has dominated his genetic makeup. He is obviously a Polanek and proud of it!
Besides the family party Henry has been keeping himself busy by growing....a lot! He is well over 14 pounds now and eating like a champ. He's plumping up like a proper growing boy and I can't quite imagine how I'm going to tote this guy around in another few months and many pounds later. Besides the hard task of growing, he is continuing to become more aware everyday and luckily spends quite a bit of time smiling, at us and his toys :) I see big things in this little guy's immediate future such as bumbo chair sitting, advanced stages of tummy time and longer stints of sleep at night (well I added that last part for my own sake, I know there's no guarantee that it is in our future....but a mom can hope....)
