Cuddle Bug

I think a little somebody caught my cold and I've had quite the little cuddlebug on my hands today.

If you can't tell, he's holding on for dear life onto my shirt...

Just a little changing table talk...

Look how far he's come...

LiTTle FaRmEr

Kisses?!

Henry wasn't sure about getting a kiss from his little cousin!

Look Familiar?!

This is how Henry likes to walk around in the evenings during fussy time.

One day I wondered where I had seen that before...

Guess Who's 7 weeks...

Henry has been such a blessing to Kit & I! He sure is growing fast and we enjoy seeing him smile and have alot of more control over his arm movements. He holds his head up really well and likes to stand with assistance. He's becoming quite the talkative boy when he wants to be...especially in the morning. We sure do love you, Henry! (I like to call him "Hen" for short...but Kit doesn't like that...maybe one day he'll be our little Hank! ;)).

Henry's First Indiana Trip

Well, a GREAT trip back to Indiana was had by all! We left late Thursday Night around 9:30p after Henry's last feeding and bath. He did great and slept the whole time except for feedings. He gave us another 6 hour stretch which got us through Nashville. We arrived at my parents at about 8:30a in time for his morning feeding. Then, Kit and I promptly laid down for a quick nap. Friday afternoon we drove to visit Grammie & Grampie and it was so nice as Kit's parents and Gima came, too! Grammie & Grampie

Saturday was alot of fun. My mom, sister and sister-in-law hosted an Open House for friends and family to come meet Henry! He was passed around and eeewwwed and aaaahhhhed over :). He did really well and pretty much slept the whole time!

Sunday we got up and headed to our old church for Henry's baby/parent dedication. It was great to see church family again and we are so thankful Pastor Ted & Sue were able to perform the dedication!

After church we went to Kit's parents house to spend time with his family. The Auntie's finally got to get their hands on him!! :)

Poor Henry hardly slept very well on Sunday and probably from sheer exhaustion went 7 hours on Sunday night!

We got up on Monday morning and I fed Henry while Kit packed the explorer. Granny ran over to see how much Henry has grown(sorry, I didn't get a picture)! We left about 9:30a and arrived home about 8:45p. Henry did great; Kit and I weren't sure how the day drive would go but he was really good. We couldn't ask for it to go any smoother.

Of course, it wouldn't be Indiana without me getting a sinus infection. Today Henry and I have pretty much sat of the couch as I can't stop sneezing, my eyes won't stop watering and I can't stop blowing my nose. My loving husband brought me home a new tub of Vick's!
My FaVoRiTe :)

Almost Ready...

Well, Henry & I are packed! Kit is on his way home and we'll start loading up soon...

We plan to leave after Henry's last feeding tonight and see how it goes and just how far we can get :).

6 weeks!

I am 6 weeks old today! We celebrated by Momma & me going into Atlanta for her 6 week appt. I was a good little guy and slept the whole time. The office staff really liked me and Dr. Moore says I'm becoming quite the little "chub"...whatever that means.

I also visited our neighbors today to cheer them up as Jack had a heart procedure done. They think I'm cute too and loved my hair.

Momma & Poppa are finding out just how serious I can be at times but every once in a while I'll give them a smile.

Momma has been concerned about my bouts of cring at times but is finding out I just have a little temper :).

I take good naps during the day and can put myself to sleep. Last night at bedtime I went just about 6 hours. Momma was so happy!

Well, I can't wait to come to Indiana and meet everyone...look out, I'm a cutie pie ;)

~ Henry

He is our little Peapod!

Just thought you might like to see a glimpse of what Henry looks like right before we all go to bed at night! Tomorrow he will be 6 weeks old...I think it might be time for him to start using his big boy crib. (*sniff*, *sniff*) Anywho,we are BIG fans of swaddling around here and when Henry was 3 weeks old he outgrew those receiving blankets you buy at the stores. So, my Granny had made one which worked for another week or two but he outgrew that one, too! Solution?! I called my mom and she promptly went and made some bigger ones for us! YEAH :)
Thanks Grandma!

And, these are fabulous! (They were also sent in Henry's little care package) Of course, I say "Oh, Henry!" about 100 times a day ;)

He IS Brilliant!! :)

So, I'm not sure what the "rules" are for rolling over but, to us...he's finally showing off just how brilliant he really is! hehe :)

We're excited because...

This time next week we should be in Indiana! We can't wait to show off Henry :)

50 cents...

What a deal! Only 50 cents for a picture with the CUTEST baby?! ;)

(Thanks Aunt Amy for the shirt!)

...Good thing he doesn't charge for kisses! He'd be rich :) hehe

Thanks for the outfit "Aunt" Lindsay! :)

A Few Snapshots

I wish I would have been quicker with the camera! Gisele at one point crawled to Henry and laid her head on Henry's feet in the bouncy seat. He didn't even flinch. She adores Henry! She is quite concerned when he cries, especially in the bathtub! She will push the door open with her nose and stick in her head to make sure everything is alright. When bath time is over and I open the door, she's laying right outside. And then there is Grover, he isn't in the picture because he could care less! Just wait until Henry is eating table food...then he'll be his best friend!
I snapped this yesterday when Henry was going down for his afternoon nap. Maybe he will be a thumb sucker?! Who cares about his teeth in the future (if he takes after me; they'll be horrible anyway)... I think it's adorable!

Today before Henry and I went out shopping. He was a trooper and slept the whole time. I had the hardest time going in and out of dressing rooms...they just don't make them big enough and the handicap ones are always full!

(Thanks Aunt Vicki & Uncle Larry for my outfit! Maybe one day I'll be a pilot!)

5 weeks & He is so...

SNUGGLY & SMOOCHABLE!

(Thanks Pusey Family!)

All by himself!

YAY! Look who is falling asleep all by himself!

Momma is SO proud of you Henry!!

FuN DaY wItH PoPpA!

Lovin' sleeping on my tummy!


Thanks for the Outfit U. Josh, A. Kenlyn & Jax!

Aren't I super cute?!




"This is weird but it's still Mommy's milk!"


*****

Today we have been enjoying having Poppa off work! It has been nice for me to be able to get some things done while I know Kit is entertaining Henry(and also squeezing in a nice nap!). Also, today was a first as Kit was able to feed Henry for the first time! He did really well eating breastmilk from a bottle; I wasn't sure if he would or not.

Also, Henry has a hard time sleeping "really well" during the day and after talking with the pediatrician he said it was fine during the day for him to sleep on his tummy, as long as we're in the room to keep an eye on him. Wouldn't you know, it was out like a light! (Of course he will still sleep on his back at night)

Bath Time III

We've taken a picture of Henry during his bath every week since starting his "real" bath. We've enjoyed seeing how much his rolls have multiplied and his belly expands! (Sorry, I can't figure out why this picture won't rotate!)

We LoVe VISITORS!!

Gisele loved getting attention

Kit & I love having visitors! It is especially fun to show off Henry :). My great friend Lindsay and her mom Angela came for the weekend and we really enjoyed their company! It was so nice not to have to worry about preparing meals...thank you SO MUCH!! they were all so yummy :) PLEASE come again!
