I love when babies snuggle so well that when it is time for a diaper change they don't wake up!
Love his thighs!


New diaper... Still snoring

Fire Station 61

On Saturday the cousins went to the Fire Station to play! Mrs. Nicole's husband is a firefighter at the local station and invited the kids to come and check it out. Caroline dropped the kids off for about an hour. I was hoping when we picked them up that the station was still standing. The kids had a blast playing in the trucks and running around.

Backyard fun!

These pictures are from last weekend. It is hard to tell who had the most fun!!

















On Friday James was sick with strep throat. He had been saying that his tummy hurt on and off last week. Finally on Thursday I took him to the doctor. I thought we would go and the doctor would say everything is fine and we would be on our way. Wrong!! My kids are in the 10% of the population that has one out of the four symptoms being a tummy ache. They don't run a fever or complain that their throat is hurting. They just get mean and have a tummy ache. So James stayed home with me on Friday (my last day of maternity leave). The entire day he insisted that he wasn't sick. Poor guy.


Yes he has a helmet on! Can never be to safe when playing with airplanes.


Henry had some fun playtime this week. He is such a good baby whisperer kid!! He loves his schedule and as you can tell loves his food. He is mostly on my milk and then gets formula at the 8, 10, and 4am feeding. He eats between 4 1/2 to 5 ounces and rarely leaves any behind. He sleeps great! He wakes up anytime between 4 and 5 am and then usually goes back to bed until 7. I go back to work on Monday so hopefully Henry will continue to behave during the night!!!

Oh the faces he makes!

The past six weeks I have flown by so fast. Henry is a wonderful baby. He definitely has clear cues on what he wants. When he begins to wake up he starts grunting. When he is awake he is ready to eat it doesn't matter to him if it has only been 2 hours since his last feed. After he eats he will squirm and pull his legs up until he burps. If he cries he is mad because he wants more. After and hour of being awake he will have this wimpy cry which means he is ready for bed. If he makes it to an hour and half and I am trying to hold him to put him asleep he becomes angry. Once put down he is calm and eyes close. This is when I get sad because he is past the newborn stage in my mind and holding him all the time is over!
Below are some of the cute faces he makes! He is getting close to smiling. I am working hard with him so he will smile at me before I go back to work.
Gas face


About to blow up the diaper face


Reflux face


I heard a funny noise!!

Love letter to her brother

During "quiet time" aka Henry awake and angry time, Ansley wrote him and letter. She was so proud of this letter. In her own words "mom this is a really long letter!" The way she writes love is too cute. She is such a good big sister. Her patience is contagious whether it is when James is pounding her or Henry is screaming in her lap waiting for a bottle.
