Dear Henry,
You are starting to fill out beautifully. Every week, it seems like your face changes and it is fascinating to watch you grow. Last night (this was major!) you slept from 10pm to 3am. 5 HOURS!!! It was glorious and I certainly appreciated the sleep. Your little tummy must be able to hold more, because you are definitely drinking more, about 3-4 ounces at a time.
You are the apple of grandma Hatch’s eye, who hardly lets you out of her arms. I take over night shift at 8:00 and on my days off, try to take time with you when I’m not saving your sisters from each other. They are both in pushing/hitting/biting phases. We also never ever let you stay in the swing when Charlotte is on the loose. She loves you and wants to “take care of the baby” but swings you way too hard. If we let her swimg you as hard as she likes to, you’d go flying out, which thankfully has not yet happened. We keep you in your bouncy chair which is inside of the pack and play when she is on the loose, or in our arms, of course.
Your eyes are absolutely gorgeous. They are the deepest sapphire blue. My favorite part on you is your toes. Your little feet are so cute. I am sure when you are older, you’ll wonder why I have so many pictures of your feet.
Ruby is so dear with you. She always asks to hold you and it is a reward for her if she behaves, we let her hold you until you cry or squirm.
You are the luckiest baby I know. There are so many arms holding you, loving you. So many lips kissing you, singing to you, talking to you. Even if the littlest arms hug you a bit too tight or sing to you a bit too loud, it’s all love for you that they are sending, in their own little way.
You are an easy baby, and for that I am grateful. You are a beautiful, perfect baby, and for that I am blessed.
Love, Momma
