Three weeks, one kid, lots of poo

Grandma Janith

Three weeks have now passed, and Henry continues to teach us new things everyday. For instance, I didn't know that it was possible in the span of 15 minutes to dirty your diaper so bad that it ruins your diaper, your outfit, and your blanket! It was really gross, yet somewhat impressive all at the same time. He continues to develop a sense of wanting to be held all the time, otherwise he will wail on you. Laura is becoming very adept at doing her various everyday tasks one handed (mowing the lawn, sweeping the chimney, changing the oil in the cars - you know, "woman work"). Sleeping is going really well we think, with him continuing to give us 3-5hr. chunks at a time during the night.

This week brought a return visit from his Grandma, who understandably couldn't get enough of him! Also, we celebrated Bella's 4th birthday, with Macy and Abner in attendance. Henry also got a present from the Siffords in the form of his very own Oh Henry candybar! Finally, Henry has taken to listening to ridiculous songs that Reggie makes up in order to get him to stop crying. For those who may have had the "privilege" to hear Reggie sing in the past, you might have thought that would be the other way around :) The two top songs on Henry's playlist are "Little Tree Frog" and "Fussy Little Baby." They are sure to be classics!

Week 4 is big for our little boy. It is his first long car ride to STL and a family photo session.
