Baby, You're a Star

If you know Henry, you know the kid's an early riser. It's not unusual for him to be up and at'em at 5 a.m. In the last few months, Matt and I have finally caved and pulled out our tiny coffee maker to make our early mornings a bit easier.

Anyway, since he wakes up so early, I try to find activities that take place earlier in the morning, so we can get out of the house for a while and get back in time for his nap. It's not always easy, since things often start around 10/11 a.m.

I was looking at BabyGap.com and noticed that they were doing a casting call for Baby Gap models at the Mall of America last week. It started pretty early and I thought, why not, it could be fun to get Henry's picture taken. I'm no stage mother, for sure, but I figured it could kill some time and we could spend some time at the mall afterwards.

We got there pretty early and got H's picture taken. He wasn't especially cooperative, but H had fun playing a bit with some other kids in line and I got to look around the store at the cute clothes. I don't even think these pics really even look very "Henry"ish (if that makes sense), but they still make me smile so I thought I would share. I especially like the serious one. :)

Your boys are both stars, Beck. I am proud of all of you. He's adorable in orange! I miss them so when I'm gone.
