Happy Belated Birthday, Dad!

So yesterday was technically my Dad's birthday, but I've been a little disorganized recovering from last week.... whoops! 

Even though I know you had to work last night, I hope you had a fantastic birthday, Dad.  I cannot be thankful enough that Henry has such a selfless, godly grandfather in his life. 

Happy Belated Birthday!!

1 Month Checkup

Today was Henry's 1 Month checkup.  He received his second Hepatitis B shot (he got his first one in the hospital), and I can certainly vouch for him when I say that he did not like it.  He was wide awake and flirting with the nurse, but approximately 0.5 seconds after the needle entered his thigh, his mouth opened as far as it would go, he turned 10 different shades of purple, and he stopped breathing for approximately 3 seconds as he sucked in as much air as possible to start screaming at the top of his lungs.  Fortunately, by the time he actually remembered to breathe and he started screaming, the band aid was on and I was allowed to scoop him up to calm him down.  And yes, I did tear up a little to see him in pain, but I didn't actually cry, so I should get some credit there! :) It only took about 2 seconds for him to be calmed and stop screaming, at which time he started looking around, probably wondering what the heck just happened to him. Poor little guy.  However the nurse and I both assured him that the shot was better than actually contracting Hepatitis B.

His report card stats from this visit and his 2 week visit are below:

TWO WEEK REPORT CARD

Weight: 9 lbs. 0 oz. - 75th Percentile

Height: 21.8 in. - 97th Percentile

Head: 14.8 in. - 75th Percentile

ONE MONTH REPORT CARD

Weight: 10 lbs. 14 oz. - 75th Percentile

Height: 23.5 in. - >100th Percentile (Let it be noted that Paul and I are confused at this percentile, as it is mathematically impossible.)

Head: 15.5 in. - 75th Percentile

Henry's healthy as can be, and Paul and I couldn't be more thankful!  God has truly blessed us.

1 Month Old!

One month old today!  You would think the 6 month onesie he's wearing would look a little bigger on him than it actually does.... :)

This baby sure has been loved on over the past month!

And countless other friends we didn't remember to get pictures of. I blame it on lack of sleep.

Happy Belated Halloween. Cute outfits, eh? These card costumes (the adult ones) have literally been worn in multiple different states by multiple different family members. I find them hilarious every time!  Henry definitely needed his own miniature version.

And no, I did not remember to look at a card before making this costume, which would explain why the club has 4 leaves instead of 3.  Whoops! Once again, I'm blaming this on lack of sleep...  And I did make him a headpiece, but it was freezing outside and he spent most of the time at Trunk or Treat in his carrier bundled up (and he did not fit in the carrier with his headpiece on).  Still made one cute Ace of Clubs in my opinion.

Happy 1 Month, sweet Henry!
