Two Cute!

Kate loves to dress her kids in the same outfits, something that drives Kevin crazy. So I just couldn't resist when I saw these matching outfits for Cole and Henry. Getting them to pose for a picture together was a challenge, but how cute are they!

Boston

This past weekend Henry and I decided to take a trip to Boston to visit my friends from college, while Kevin was in Laconia. This was our first big trip out alone, and I must say it went very well. About fifteen minutes into the trip (we had not even made it to Springfield) we had to pull over twice, once for a lost binky and once because I wanted to check on him (I know I'm a little paranoid, but he stopped crying suddenly and I wanted to make sure he was fine.) When we arrived the girls were very excited to see him, they even woke up early after a late night out! Here are some pictures from the day.


Henry with all of us, minus Annie (she double booked, Shocker!) and Jil (she arrived late, Shocker!)

Tama was very excited to meet Henry for the first time.

Here's Chrissy showing off her maternal side, and no Chrissy babies do not ride in the front seat! Tama is still trying to figure out why Henry is so small compared to her nephews, well he's no Baker, that's for sure!

The trip was a success and we hope to do it again soon. Maybe next time we can stay overnight! Thank you Meghann, Laura and Megan for your hospitality.

Weekend with the cousins

We had the pleasure of watching Jack, Luke and Cole for a few days while Kate and Bryan went away on a bike trip. At any given moment I had one, two or all three of the boys. Henry quite enjoyed his time with his cousins. The weekend started with both Luke and Cole on Thursday afternoon. They eventually went to my parents to spend the night while Jack and Henry enjoyed Henry's first sleepover. Good thing Jack is a heavy sleeper since Henry doesn't quite have that whole sleeping through the night thing down. Here are some pictures of Henry with his cousins, Enjoy!


Henry and Luke, I think Henry was trying to watch T.V.

Alright, so I couldn't get a picture with both Cole and Henry due to not having enough arms to ensure Henry's safety. Sometimes Cole loves Henry just a little too much! But you know what Cole is thinking in this picture, he's glad Henry's finally the one in the stroller while he's free!

Heat Wave!!

So as most of you know we are in the middle of our first heat wave of the year. In an effort to prepare for this event, we did what anybody else would do, we purchased some air conditioners and cooled our house off, but not before introducing Henry to his very first swim.

Here's Henry getting ready to venture outside to try out the pool.


I know Henry, sorry I dress you up all the time, but I just can't resist, you're so adorable!!

So, the frog pool I got for Henry and Cole is very cute, but as you can see Henry is not a fan. We'll try again when the water's a little warmer and he's not ready for a nap.

But, as you can see the Castor boys certainly enjoyed the pool. Jack and Luke ignored the "no diving" warning on the pool, however they all managed to leave here in one piece. I have a feeling this is going to be a very fun summer!

Two Months Old!

Henry is now two months old and he went for his doctor appointment yesterday. He is tipping the scales at 11 lbs. 8 oz. and is 23 inches long. His exam went well and he even managed to sneak in a little nap before the nurse woke him up with three shots. He was not very happy about this and for the first time ever I witnessed him cry so hard he held his breath. This was a very brief upset to an otherwise pleasant day. He recovered from his shots well (with a few kisses from cousin Luke) and slept great all day. As you can see he is now fully recovered as he managed to pose for a picture this morning.
