Some Candids from this Month

 I really need to work on my Swaddling Skills!

 Love his little hair-do!

 Someone had a rough night...

 Time for a walk... so tiny in the car seat

 Tummy time to Henry means rest time... such a Mezger

 Daddy's Last Day before heading back to work... we LOVED having him home the last two weeks!

 I think the novelty of Henry has worn off... Hayden now prefers to sit in the very back of the van.

 New boots and wrist rattles

Henry is such a Little Nugget

I still can't get over, how tiny Henry is... down to 6 lbs. at his last doctor visit... need to start pudging him up.

What a great big brother!

So far, Hayden has adjusted well to Henry.  He loves to hold him and help feed him.  However, the moment he starts to cry, Hayden runs... literally! :)

Terrific Kid Award

Jake and I were very proud of Hayden for being nominated as the Terrific Kid in his classroom during the last quarter.  We were invited to celebrate his nomination with a breakfast at school.  Hayden received an award and a neat Terrific Kid pin.  Nice Job, Hayden!!

Happy Easter!

                    Decorating Easter Eggs, 10:30pm the night before... definitely a first for us. :)

 This Easter was very special, since we weren't originally expecting to celebrate with Henry.  

Hayden loved looking for eggs, and playing with all of his Easter Basket goodies.  Mommy and Daddy enjoyed having dinner catered from Boston Market, and taking turns with naps. :)

Such an adorable little bunny!

Henry's First Bath

Henry experienced his first bath today.  Unlike Hayden's first bath, Henry was wide awake, and wasn't a very big fan of it!  It was nice that all three of us were able to help out. 

Henry is is so super tiny, so we made it very quick.

Our first week home with Henry

Our first week home with Henry has been pretty eventful!  Unfortunately, Jake like Hayden, Henry has jaundice, which means we had to use the dreaded Billi-blanket... bluck!  This one was a little different from last night... Henry was not a fan.  He didn't want to stay on the mat, which means he needed to be held throughout the night.  Thankfully my mom was here, and the three of us were able to split the night/day shifts.  Even Hayden was an awesome big brother, and helped out with the holding! :)

Our little glow-worm, and big brother.

Hayden really enjoyed having Grandma around.

My new midnight friends. :)

 

Tired parents. :)
