3 Months!



I'm going to try not to say this at the beginning of every Henry update, but time is flying!  I can't believe my sweet boy is already 3 months old!  My love grows deeper and deeper for him every day.  I thought I already loved him as much as possible when he was placed on my chest three months ago.  But right now as I type this post, he is snuggled up next to me snoring, and it is hard to put in words how much I love him.  Henry is already such a little boy!  He woke up on Saturday morning (which was officially three months), and he discovered somehow in his dreams the night before that he could make really loud noises.  I brought him into bed with us, and he started out just talking and then all of a sudden...he started making squeals and loud noises and was obviously entertained by himself.  Shaun and I kept looking at each other and cracking up.  It was such a special moment for me.  While we were going through treatments, I would sometimes daydream about Shaun and me cuddling and talking to our baby in our bed on a Saturday morning.  And there we were...enjoying our Mr. Adorable, and it was even better than I dreamed.

Some fun facts about Henry at 3 Months:
  • Henry LOVES to watch me brush my teeth.  I discovered this one day when I got out of the shower, and he was crying.  I was in a hurry to get ready so I started to brush my teeth and ran across the house to check on Henry.  He immediately went from crying to smiling.  I thought it was just a coincidence, but it has worked without fail numerous times.  It cracks him up!  I'm not sure if it is the fact that Mommy has white foam coming out of her mouth or the sound or movement, but he loves it.
  • Henry is a very happy baby.  After he eats, we always have awake time, and he is all smiles.  As I've mentioned before he has several different smiles, but my favorite is his crooked grin.  And those dimples!!  
  • About an hour and fifteen minutes into awake time (almost to the second)--he is done, and it is time for a nap!  But Mr. Henry doesn't like naps, and he definitely fights them.  I'm sure there will be a post about that soon :)
  • Henry loves his daddy.  They've had some great bonding time over the last two weeks, and I love watching them together.  When I got home from a baby shower this weekend, Henry was propped up in a boppy pillow sitting on the couch with his hand on Shaun looking at the computer with him.  Henry looked so old...it was hilarious!  Shaun has also started giving Henry airplane rides all of the time, and Henry loves it!  I need to get a video of that soon.
  • Kick, kick, kick!  Henry enjoys kicking so much.  He kicks every chance he gets!

That's too funny...Little Bug LOVES to watch me brush my teeth too! Part of our morning routine is her laying on our bathroom floor while I get dressed for the day! She loves watching me brush my teeth and gets her mouth going too. It's the cutest thing!

Love the picture of Henry! He is so handsome!

So sweet, Courtney. My favorite is the Saturday morning cuddles in the bed with Mom and Dad. I remember those days with Charlotte. They were so fun. We don't get many of them with our little guy now because his sister is off and running and in no mood to cuddle in the bed. Enjoy the little moments the go by at the speed of light!
