Well, another week has gone by. It is amazing to think that Henry has been around for 2 weeks already. It is funny how he appears to change everyday. We are continually trying to determine who he looks like more. I am not sure where he is getting all his back hair, but we are hoping that all falls out eventually. Perhaps he is getting that from Bella :). This week brought Henry's first bath. It didn't go too well, but I would imagine that was about 85% due to his parents having no clue what they were doing! We had our first family dinner outing on Friday, even though it was only to Governor Stumpy's. Henry did great, and just slept the whole time. Also, near the end of the week, he finally started to take to sleeping in his bassinet, as opposed to a bouncy seat. Over the weekend, he was sleeping blocks of 4-5hrs. each night (THANK YOU HENRY!). He has apparently gained a 1/2 inch, but lost an ounce of weight, during the week (Now at 21" long and 7lbs, 13oz).
Unfortunately for Laura, the week started off with her having to learn the hard way the lesson of why you have to have your new diaper ready when you take the old one off. Henry decided that day to "make it rain," and I don't mean dollar bills. He tried for an encore with Reggie later that day, but he was ready for him!
We never knew that a baby could produce so much trash until this week. It is pretty amazing how long the diaper genie bag is that gets thrown away each week. Seriously, it is like I am holding an anaconda! The funniest is how he is getting good at dirtying his diaper within 2 minutes of changing him. I never realized how many times in a row a baby can poop!
We continue to have numerous visits from our great family and friends. You all have been extremely generous, and we can't thank you enough!!!
So excited for you guys!! And I read recently that the average baby goes through something like 300 diapers a month. That seems high, but yeah -- it's a lot of changing you have to do.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this time while Henry sleeps anywhere you take him (i.e. out to dinner). My friend Gretchen's seven month old is past that stage and says she misses being able to bring her baby anywhere. :) Can't wait to meet little Henry!!
