Two Months

Late again posting this but at least I took the picture on the right day. Henry looks a little dazed in this picture but he is really as sweet as can be. At two months he is sleeping 8-9 hours each night(some of the other children in this house [both will remain nameless] didn't sleep through the night till at least 6 months and one of them 9 months, so Henry is earning big brownie points with Mama in that area). He is smiling basically anytime someone looks at him and starting to make louder and louder sounds which resemble a "HEY!" followed by another one of his cute little smiles. At his 8 wk appointment he was 12 pounds, 3 ounces.

Henry One Month

Henry! You are one month old. (you are six weeks old when I'm posting this.) At one month you weighed 10 pounds, 10 ounces. You have gained over two pounds since you were born! You've grown out of all your newborn clothes and are too long for some of your 0-3 month stuff. You are pleasant and calm and sweet. You actually harldy ever cry. Your awake time is getting longer and longer each day and you quietly look around and observe all the excitement in our house. You have been smiling and cooing at us. You "talk" the most to Jack when he gets in your face and yells, "OH BAAAYBEEE!". You love to cuddle and snuggle and be held a lot. You are a blessing and constant evidence of God's grace to us. We love you!

Post a comment and guess his
Date of Birth:
Time:
Weight:

For hints and starters or just to throw you all off, Clara was born at 2:50am and weighed 6 pounds 1/2 an ounce. She was TINY! She was also just over THREE WEEKS EARLY! Jack was born at 10:40am and weighed 9 pounds 6 ounces. He was a TODDLER when he was born. He came the day before his due date.

When do you think Henry will be born??? Clara recently predicted that he will be born in 50 years. I am praying that she is wrong.

The Greatest Shower on Earth!

My sister, Laura and some close friends hosted a Circus shower for Henry last week. It was called, "The Henry Brother Circus" and what a party it was! This was a very creative theme for a baby shower. They went all out with food, decorations, signs and details. It was a fun party atmosphere complete with circus music. I especially loved the "Henry" stuff like the candy bars and rootbeer. Here are a few of my pictures, my sister has lots more.

Rootbeer belly.

And here I am at almost 34 weeks.

Thanks for the wonderful shower everybody. I felt truly honored and celebrated and am even more excited now for Henry's arrival.

Pop Quiz

What do these things have in common?

Need a hint? They all share a very special NAME! After much deliberation and discussion over the subject, we are happy to share our third baby's name is:

Henry Conner Green

Henry is mostly in honor of my dad, whose middle name is Harry. (Harry is a popular nickname for Henry in England.) Conner is my Tutu's (Henry's great-grandma)maiden name. The name Henry means Home Rule, but our prayer for him is that he will allow God to rule his home and that he will have a servant's heart as he leads people and his own family well someday. We are excited to meet our Henry in October!

In case you didn't know, pictured above is Henry Ford with his model T, Oh Henry candy bar, Henry Huggins,(Beverly Cleary's first book), the Kate Spade "Henry" diaper bag, Prince Henry Charles of Wales, (Harry is his nickname.), and lastly, Henry Weinhards Beer. Thanks for playing!
