Happy One Month Birthday Baby Henry!

Dear Henry,

Today you are One Month Old!  You are a good baby, rarely fussy, although we are still having some poop problems with you, otherwise you are healthy and fine.  You are getting up at night about every 2-4 hours, hopefully we'll both be sleeping through the night ina  few short weeks, right now you need to consatnt feedings to help your busy brain grow.  You are beginning to fill out and I am trying to find a rhythm with having three small children to take care of.  All I can say at this point is Thank Goodness for Grandma Hatch.  Your sisters are still adjusting to all of the changes that have happened in their lives and can be challening, so you spend a lot of time in grandma's loving arms, wrapped in song, warm milk that I pump for you and we feed you in bottles. and nice clean blankets.

Your First Two Weeks

Hi Baby Henry!

Tomorrow, you will be 2 weeks old!  Your umbilical cord has fallen off, making you much more squeezable and easier to change.  Your circumcision is also healing well and you healthy and doing fine.  The only issue we are having with you is your digestive system.  You like to eat, but don't like to poop.

You eat about 2 ounces every 2 hours, sometimes at night you can go 3 or 4 hours, which I am thankful for.  You are such a sweet, good, and just purely beautiful baby boy.  Your little squeeking noises and your random flailing hands are so cute, you just melt my heart and everyone who holds you covers you with kisses. 

We had a visit on Monday night from Dave and Michelle, your aunt and uncle and all the kids came over to see you too.  You and your cousin Nate are just about the same size.

Well, Ruby is having a meltdown upstairs so I'll cute this short.  I love you.

Mama
