Today, I finally put Henry in the super cute camo outfit my mom got him. I realized, even though the size is for an older baby, that holy cow he can wear that now and if he doesn't he may never wear it. He is growing at alarming speed. Anyhoo - isn't he stylish? And we took our first self portrait together...Henry didn't really get the idea.
Henry is always his most smiley and talkative first thing in the morning, so with both of us home this weekend, we took the opportunity to get some of those smiles on camera. How cute is he?? So cute. If you could only hear what Jim and I sounded like trying to get him to smile over and over...a bunch of dorks high on helium, that's what. But you know what? It's so worth it! I love that he can interact with us now and show us that he likes us (phew!). 
And how about that double chin... ENJOY!
He won't take a pacifier but he'll suck on his fist all day. Jim and I laughed this morning when Henry woke up a little early, fussed a bit, and when he realized we weren't coming right away we heard, "suck, suck, suck"...and he was peaceful again. Whatever it takes, I guess!
As you can see, our little boy is growing by the day. He has acquired quite a nice set of chins along with a little more squishiness in the thigh area. I love it! Tomorrow he has his 2 month appointment and we'll see how much he weighs.

Why is it so fun to put hats on babies? I, along with several of my friends, enjoy purchasing all sorts of head coverings for our little ones. They're so darn cute! (the babies aren't so bad either...) Here's us before our walk last night. It was a little more chilly than normal outside, so OF COURSE, we had to bundle up and wear a hat. =D 
Henry also wore a hat on Sunday, which was part of the super-cute sailor outfit Myrna got 
him. AHOY! 
Our baby boy is four weeks old today! Good grief! Didn't I just give birth to him? I can see why people keep saying to enjoy this and that while he is this little. So precious, so little...but growing every day. I am love, love, loving being a mommy and watching Jim be a daddy.
My mother, proud new grandma, has been here visiting for a week now and we are just having a blast taking Henry all over town. He is very well behaved when we're out and about. Must mean he likes to shop! Ha. Grandma Johnson is having so much fun with Henry - playing patty cake (yes, already) and putting him to sleep faster than you can say "shhh." She's got the touch, I guess!
Well, I have to say I have never been more overjoyed or thankful than I am these days. Today, our precious baby boy turns 2 weeks old, and life has been nothing but perfection since his birth. Sure, there are fussy times and dirty diapers...but it is all so worth it to hold this little creation in your arms. Praise the Lord for His healing and faithfulness! The tears of joy have not stopped since I first saw his face.
