You have been in my arms for 6 months now, 6 months already, I just cannot believe it. But you have been in my heart so much longer than that. I love that while you like to crawl around or sit and play, you really love to be cuddled up in the carrier with mommy…
The Henry Diaries: 5 Months
Well, I realize that you are now 5 1/2 months old. Will you quit growing so quickly?! Please!!! If you can’t tell from the pictures, you have the cutest little mohawk ever. This last month you have really started rolling around. I lay you down and the next thing I know you are clear across…
The Henry Diaries: 4 Months
Hello my sweetness. You are growing so fast. We went in for your 4 month checkup and I figured you were around 12 or 12 1/2 pounds. I was wrong. 14 pounds 3 ounces. You are a growing boy! You smile all of the time. If we look at you, talk to you, anything. You…
Our Valentine’s Day
Since I didn’t post this on Valentine’s Day, I figured I would send this picture your way. John made us this stand for Henry’s 4 month photo shoot. It turned out adorable! I can’t wait to see all of the other things we will be doing with it. It will be a farmer’s market stand,…
4 Personalized Baptism Gift Ideas
I love being able to find the perfect gift for everybody. I love finding that one thing that is perfect for every occasion. The most recent occasion for us was Henry’s baptism. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do for his baptism. I wanted some sort of keepsake to remember his…
The Henry Diaries: 3 Months
It’s amazing what a difference a month makes. You do so much compared to last month. You regularly roll from your tummy to your back. You still haven’t rolled from your back to your belly even though I know you can do it. You are a pro at grabbing onto the rings of your toys…
The Henry Diaries: 2 Months
I’m a little late with this one, it’s been pretty crazy with Christmas and stuff, but here we are. My dear, sweet Henry. You smile a ton! It took quite some time to get it on camera, but you are a smile machine. Your head is so strong now and you hold it up…
Beautiful Moments
We have been so busy lately, but have still found time for some of the most beautiful moments our life has to offer. While baking cookies, I had the kids unwrapping Andes mints. This was expected, and totally hilarious. I think this picture needs a caption. Something like, “Conversations with my sister” or something…
Henry’s Baptism
This past weekend was Henry’s baptism. I had a ton going on, so getting ready for the party was a bit stressful, but I was so excited. John’s mom buys all of the kids their baptism outfit, and boy did he look handsome! See for yourself. I didn’t put forth nearly as much effort on…
Hold Your Head Up High
I remember when Charlie was 7 days old and rolled over. I knew I was in trouble. I realized when Henry was 7 days old that he had yet to really even have tummy time for fear of being trampled. Since then, I have really made a point to have him lay on his play…
The Henry Diaries : 1 Month Old
My sweet little boy. I sure am in love with you. I kept asking you to not grow too fast like Maggie and Charlie did, but it seems that you didn’t listen. I cannot believe how much you have changed already! You are over 8 pounds of perfect now. You seem to be adjusting quite…
Elimination Communication with a Newborn
I remember commenting on a Facebook post a few months ago about when Charlie had potty learned. Another mom commented back with something along the lines of how I was trained, not Charlie. It annoyed me. When your baby cries because they are hungry, you feed him. If your baby cries because their diaper needs…
First Snow
Well, yesterday was our first snowfall of the year. I don’t know the official total and I haven’t measured, but I believe we are around the 10 inch mark. With the snow drifts, we have some spots with snow up to my waist. I went out to wipe off the satellite dish and wiped out,…
Newborn Photo Shoot
Because I think my kids are so darn cute { and I am obviously not biased in any way }, I just have to share a few of my favorite pictures from Henry’s newborn picture session. Getting this picture of all 3 of them cooperating was so sweet. Here is Henry posing for…
Introducing Henry James
Since you all followed along on my pregnancy journey, it is only fair that I properly introduce our newest little one. I am excited to share my birth story, but there are only so many hours in a day. For now, meet Henry James. Born October 18th at 4:48 am. 7 lbs 13 ounces, 20.5…
