Whenever Henry was moving sluggishly, he had no clue that his parents were sneaking him back and forth. It's a classic trick parents pull on their kids.

The soft, adorable little guy had been handed off several times between his mom and dad. Finally, Andre gently took the chubby bundle from his wife's arms. When Henry was on the verge of crying, Andre quickly wrapped him in a blanket and patted his little bottom soothingly.
