H 3.5 mo.

Here's the long awaited post. Henry, you're 3.5 mo! I know, big milestone. You're about 12 pounds, which may not seem big but we applaud the growth. You're in the 10th percentile for weight (blame that one on the reflux) and the 90th percentile for height (blame that one on daddy). Oh yeah, you have reflux just like your sister did. SO frustrating for Mom but I'm sure even more frustrating for you. Sorry about that - we're working on making it better for both of us. Good thing there are specialists out there!

Henry,

You LOVE your sister. Good thing because if she's not playing with her pumpkins, strapped in her high chair or taking a nap she's in your face. She wants to pick you up, comb your hair, pick your nose, identify your eyelashes, and ALWAYS lay down next to next to you if not on top of you.



You LOVE your daddy. He has a way of simply calming you down when I can do no more. Good thing! You are looking more and more like him and I love it.

These pictures are of you in your daddy's blessing outfit. You weren't able to wear it on your actual blessing day, but my how handsome you are in it!



You are such a good sport and go with the flow. Whether it's being dragged around all day in your carseat or being pawned off for two hours during church, you're still your calm happy self. Whew!

You are enthralled with the camera! (see video #2) hopefully this lasts a long time. You've mastered the deer-in-the-headlights look.



You are your happiest when I am changing your clothes. Something about putting something over your head and pulling your arms in or out of sleeves just get you going. It's so cute. (see video #1)



Despite being uncomfortable with reflux, you are a champion sleeper and napper. Thank goodness! We both need the rest. You managed to take naps at the same time as your sister and let me tell you, those are GREAT days!

you smile just about any time you hear your name and love to laugh if we tickle your neck/chest. Thanks for being such a wonderful addition to our family - we love you!

xoxo,
daddy, mommy and madeleine
