Henry turns two months!

My sweet boy is already two months old!



I never knew that my heart could stretch this much...but it has! After having GA I couldn't imagine how I would love another one as much as her, but it definitely happens and it's pretty awesome! This little guy brings us so much joy!


Here is what Mr. Henry is up to these days!



  • He slept from 11-6 on May 6th! Happy Mother's Day to me!


  • He weighs 12 lbs. 4 oz. (we haven't been to our 2 month check yet, more stats later.)


  • He has the cutest chunky thighs!


  • He is cooing, smiling and making facial expressions.


  • He's kicking those legs and waving his arms.


  • Eating pretty much every 3 hours during the day.


  • Smiles at big sister!


  • Still on reflux medicine, but doing fine!


  • Loves the swing...thank goodness!


  • He loves to be swaddled at night and put to sleep with white noise.


  • Still in his cradle in our room.


  • Sucking on fingers.


  • Still takes paci!

We are looking forward to the weekend, Henry is getting baptized!


I can't wait to see our family and friends come together for such a special event for our family!

Disney on Ice!

Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy friends and especially to our moms! We love you so much and appreciate all that you do for us and most importantly HAVE done for us!

We shared our day with some close friends at the Disney on Ice show! GA loved watching all the princesses and was so excited to see Cinderella dance with her prince! There were about 25 of us piled into a super nice suite! Which that saved us, because we were able to move around and Russ sat with GA while I had Henry! Plus it was nice getting to visit with my girlfriends! We had the best time and I am so glad that I spent my mother's day with my new family of four!



The fam!

Easter 2011-Part 1

Happy Easter! We had a great holiday with friends and family and we are so thankful for all the many blessings in our life!


"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, 'that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.' "

John 3:16


All smiles before church!

I love my family! They are so precious to me!

Henry wasn't quite sure about sister holding him in one piece!

But doesn't GA look so sweet!

She really loves her brother!


Me and my sweet boy!
This is the best we could do...GA was done taking pictures!

Learning how to jump rope!


Pepaw, GA, Russ and Grandmother



This girl loves chocolate cake!

Easter Egg Hunt with friends!

GA and AG getting those eggs!



GA was very concerned with getting the lollipops we stuck in the bushes!





Here's brother all pooped out!
Now I just wish he would sleep the whole night!

Sneak Peek of Henry's newborn photo session!

Isn't he precious!

I could just eat him up!


We are in LOVE with this little guy and GA has been such a sweet big sister!


She often tells me or him:


"I love baby Henry, mommy!"


"Henry it alllllll right!!!!"


"Shhhhhh....baby Henry!"


"Mommy you pick him up...he crying!"


"He not cry anymore, Mommy!"


It's definitely harder around this house juggling the two kiddos, but totally worth it! Russ and I couldn't more happy with our new family!


Happy Easter!

Cinderella and her Prince!

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful maiden in a far away land who loved to kiss

a much younger prince!

This young prince didn't quite understand what was happening, but took it like a champ!
Already studying Daddy's deer!
How many points does that one have, Daddy?

(One night he just stared at that deer! It was too funny!)

Grace Ann visits the Easter Bunny!

This Saturday we went to the community center for breakfast with the Easter Bunny! I was a little nervous that GA would freak out when she saw him, but she just ran with it and was super excited! They had donuts for the kids to decorate and a fun craft for the kids to do! Henry hung out in the stroller looking at his eyelids, which was good for me, since I was manning the kids by myself! Enjoy the pictures! I love the look on GA's face....

Thank you Aunt Julie for the precious Easter outfit!


Henry turns one month!

Henry is one month old already! I can't believe he getting so big! I posted a pic of sister at one month and his one month picture! I think they definitely favor each other! They both look like variations of Russell! Too cute!

Henry's 4 week stats (from last dr. appt.):


9lbs. 10 oz.

50th percentile

21.5 inches long

40th percentile


Growing like a weed!

Above is GA and the rest are Henry!
