Henry's second week

What happened during Henry's second week?

-Noni and I gave him his first bath (now that the cord is off)... and he seemed to like it!





-Upon further examination of Henry's features, Drew and I discovered that Henry might have some goofy little ears! Andrew's ears are large- mine are small but they stick out- and it seems like Henry's ears are starting to poke out a little. Andrew's response: "oh well, he'll find someone who loves everything about him, including his ears. After all, you and I found each other!"

-Henry met his first baby friend, Charlotte (and her mama), this week- and although we took pictures, the memory card wasn't in the camera! Boo! We'll try again soon :)

-I decided that Henry's messy bed head hair is the cutest thing in the world



-Henry had his 2 week checkup and needed to be back at his birthweight- 6.12, and he was a little over 7.5, so his weight gain is going well (And it's no wonder, he's feeding every hour and a half...)


-Henry had three new visitors- Jenny, Hilary and Sierra- who brought delicious meals over for us! A huge thanks to Hilary for setting up the Meal Train... I am so thankful I haven't had to cook! And after waiting almost a whole week, Pawpaw got a chance to see his grandson again.

Two funny moments from this week:

During tummy time, Henry successfully turned his head from one side to the other, but not without lots of struggle that produced lots and lots of baby farts!



Even after I tried so hard to cover his penis during the diaper change at the doctor's office, Henry waited until I was almost finished and moved my hand to let the wee wee spray all over the doctor's table. He soaked that paper lining!

A beautiful moment from this week:

Drew had his two boys, Henry in one arm, and Sawyer in the other, and I joined them on the couch. Lady came over and, wanting join her pack but not seeing any space, had to get creative. She jumped on the couch from the back, and carved out a little nook behind the couch cushion- something she's never done before. Hey- if you want to fit five bodies one couch, sacrifices must be made! But it's the first time the five of us have been "together" in any sense. I loved it.
