Happy One Week Birthday!

Someone forgot to tell Henry that today was his due date, not last Monday! But I am thrilled he is here and I am totally head over heels in love with my little baby boy. Each day I am overwhelmed by how much more in love I am with him than I was the day before. He is more than I could have ever dreamed of - a little miracle of perfection down to his very core. We are keeping busy bonding, sleeping, eating and changing diapers. I love every second of it - even the middle of the night feedings and poopy diapers.

I'll work on posting the birth story. In the mean time here's a lot of pictures of the love of my life.

Henry's "bed" at the hospital


Sweet little feet

Home at last! We brought Henry home on Friday, 4/24.

We were thrilled to finally get the little guy home and show him his new digs!

He was so happy to be home! All smiles!
Meeting Spinner for the first time. Spinner loves Henry and gets very concerned when he cries. All he wants to do is lick his face (don't worry, we don't let him... yet)

Henry meets Uncle Alex

Taking Henry on his first walk. What a great first weekend to be home!

Snuggle time with mom on the couch.
All bundled up after his first bath.

Totally relaxed after his bath and ready for bed!

Relaxing on the patio with Uncle Dale

Sunday we had the grandparents over for breakfast. Henry and Grandma Garlits Herny and Aunt "Beps" (Alisabeth). Note the new piece of jewelry on her finger!!! Yay!

Story time with Henry. He loved it and actually "acted" like he was looking at the pictures!

Sleepy time with Grandma. I can't stop kissing those lips!
