16 weeks

I can't believe, Henry, that you are about to have your 4 month birthday!
I am excited to see how much you are going to weigh when we go to the doctor for your checkup on the 16th. You seem to be alot longer here lately and not so "roly-poly" but instead a "solid" little boy :).
Oh Henry, you have blessed our lives in so many ways! You are finally starting to let your personality shine through! We are enjoying your sweet spirit and love it when we see a BIG smile and hear a cackle; that is contagious :).
You are always wanting to sit up and see the action happening around you. You have started to notice the dogs and enjoy watching them walk by you. You are content to play with yourself at times and other times are content to just walk around with momma & poppa. You love the outdoors as much as we do and we love to watch you move your feet and hands around as you take in the fresh air in your stroller. I like watching your hair blow up as we are running and watch you take it all in!
Don't get me wrong though, if you don't like a particular situation or just want to be heard, you have no problem in voicing your opinion. ;)
You sleep awesome at night going to bed around 8 30p and getting up between 6 00a to 6 30a for a feeding and then going right back down until about 9 00a.
You just about made momma squeel with glee on Monday morning when you went from 8 30p to 7 40 a. I put you back down and you slept until I woke you up shortly before 10!!
You still take 3 naps a day although your first two are pretty short but usually give me a nice afternoon break with your 3rd nap.
You are really into feeling everything and starting to enjoy putting things in your mouth.
You are still a drooly little boy, but we have yet to see any little teeth buds.
Just 16 Tuesdays ago, God changed our lives forever by giving us YOU!
We couldn't be more thankful for this awesome responsibility.
You are such a blessing, sweet Henry.
We Love You So Much!
