Momma's Boys

All handsome and ready for church

Henry 1 month

Henry has been such a sweet little boy. We love having him in our home. The first month has flown by and I am expecting the upcoming months to do the same. It is so different with the second baby. All I did with Liam was hold him all day long and some days wished he would let me lay him down and get things done. Little Henry seems to get the quick snuggles, kisses, and milk while I am trying to take care and entertain Liam and take care of the house. I would love to have him nap on me all afternoon so I could breathe in his little head more often but some days that just doesn't work out.
Henry has the best head of hair. It is so very soft and so long. He still has all the hair he was born with and then some. And it seems to be getting longer. It is a little darker than Liam's hair was when he was a month old. He has the same fuzzy ears that Liam had. I love it! His eyes are getting lighter and lighter everyday and I am guessing they will be a bright blue like Liam's. It is so hard to not compare the two boys! I often have to remind myself that they are two different people. I am trying to remember that I have two boys and they are going to grow up to be 2 different people and they aren't going to look the same. When I imagine Henry growing up I just picture Liam. It will be so fun to see what he turns out to look like.
It has been so fun to have a cuddly baby in the house again. I am exhausted but don't expect anything less than that. He does decent with his sleeping patterns. Every now and then I'll get a good stretch of sleep out of him (6-7 hours) but it is usually 3. I'll be rested in a year or so...

Me hold baby!

Liam really likes to hold Henry and asked me today if he could home him. I said yes and the following pictures are of what happened next...

Going well. They looked adorable so I grabbed the camera. Although not the best way for Liam to be holding Henry but he insisted.

Liam looks down and seems a little concerned for Henry. He then notices his blanket. He loves to share his blanket with Henry... 

Liam decides to grab the blanket. (which means he is only using one arm to hold Henry) Check out the smile on Liam's face! So proud.  Henry is starting to slip...

Big brother so proud that  he is sharing his blanket with "Baby Enry" and  he doesn't have any idea that Henry's face is turning red! And is not enjoying the experience.

 Don't worry Henry was not harmed while I was busy taking these pictures. I quickly thanked Liam for holding him and pulled him to safety. We have also had to teach Liam that while he loves to hide from us and play hide n' seek, it's not ok for him to put blankets on Henry's head to hide him. Brotherly love...

One. Day. At. A. Time :)

3 weeks

The past 3 weeks have gone by so quickly! Everything is a blur but we have enjoyed having Henry around. He is a patient little guy who likes to sleep on my chest and loves to have his hands up by his face just like Liam did. He is still doing well with his sleeping habits. Of course I would love to be sleeping through the night but I'm ok with only having to get up twice. He is starting to like bath time and is starting to spend more of the daytime hours awake. He has a great full head of fuzzy hair that we love to play with. Although it doesn't stay soft and fuzzy for long once we start running our fingers through it. Liam likes having his brother around but gets upset with me when I have feed him, change him, etc. He loves to give him kisses and high fives.
