Adam Henry Goes to Michigan

Adam's adventures continued as he visited the Great White North in October for a true autumn. There were a few relatives that hadn't seen him yet plus we were getting sick of the heat so we flew to Chicago, met my parents and then drove to Michigan to visit my brothers and their families. On the way back we spent the day in Chicago. He's quite the traveler already at 7 months. On top of the that he grew two new teeth during the trip. What a champ!

His first plane ride was a lot of fun and he didn't even cry once, unlike a bad baby behind us. I blame the parents.




His first trip to our Chicago Meca, White Castle. Look at this boy's appetite!




Visiting with his godfather, Uncle Bob

Uncle Chris' strange baby-shaped hat.

Meeting his cousins Natalie...

The attack of a kitten named Cheeto

Fun at Lake Michigan. Can't you tell by his expression?


Adam even visited his first college to meet his oldest cousin, Marissa, at Michigan State, who just started there.



Watching the marching band practice. Adam loves music.

His Baby Gap photos. Look at this handsome kid!



One of the highlights was visiting his dad's favorie childhood memory, Robinette's Apple Orchard, for hot cider and doughnuts.

And a pose in front of the big apple. Don't try climbing on that thing or the old lady will yell at you.

Next was a visit to his dad's old neighborhood to:
Pose in front of his old house.

Play in the park with parents less mature than he is.



And feed the ducks at the pond.

Then it was time to wrestle dad for the world's biggest doughnut.

...his dad won!

One more cute pose then it was off to Chicago.

First to the Field Museum.





And finally a visit with Aunt Mary, Uncle Dick and Uncle Charlie.

Adam sure knows how to pack it in. He's wearing us out!

Growing Adam

So I've been slacking on updating Adam's blog. I would do it more often if "the Boy" let me, but "the Boy" likes to keep "the Man" occupied. He's almost 7 months now and look at all that he's doing: eating solids, growing four teeth, sitting up, almost crawling, and acting more and more like a little boy. He's huge now, too! I don't know what his stats are exactly but probably something like 40lbs and 3 feet tall. Or it could be closer to 27 inches and 20 lbs. What do I look like a doctor? Here are some of his greatest photo hits since the last posting....

Eating solids for the first time (actually, it's the second time but the first time his dad got to see it)

First Barton Springs Dip (he waited 5 minutes to cry!)
