Quick Update

Lydia loves the baby toys and insists on playing with Henry. She thinks it is so funny when he "tickles" her (swings his arms and happens to touch her).

Lydia could spend all day holding her brother. He is less than thrilled about this.

Henry's second best friend, next to his sister, is giraffe. They lock eyes and Henry "talks" to it.

Henry goes to the doctor this week to see if his ear infection (oh yes, he got an ear infection at 5 weeks old) has cleared up and to discuss progress since he started Prevacid for reflux. Poor little guy has had a hard few weeks.

Henry's Commitment at Second Baptist

Sunday morning we got up and hurried to church for the Parent-Child Commitment service. We definitely had the newest baby presented and got lots of congratulations for making it to church by 8:45 showered and dressed with a two and a half week old baby. We are excited to have such a wonderful home church to come alongside us as we try to raise Henry and Lydia under God's direction and authority.

More pictures

Henry is very serious!

Uncle Adam (Dan's brother) came from San Antonio to meet Henry. Lydia loved on him and continued asking for him after he left.

My dad came in town also. Lydia L-O-V-E-D playing with her Paca. She made him play "night night" for a very long time. I admitted to my dad that sometimes I actually fall asleep when we play "night night."

Angela and Amber stopped by to meet Henry.

And I even got a picture with my little guy! Why is it that mom's are never in pictures? I guess we are always the ones taking them. We still have to take a picture of all four of us. It's one of my goals for this weekend!

The first few days.

I've been working on this post for two days. Needless to say, I'm having a hard time finding time for blogging right now! We just love our little boy, and I'm so happy to be back home with Lydia.

It was love at first sight.

Give him to me!

More baby news

It just keeps getting better! My sister, Amy, was due with her baby boy a week after me. But, since Henry arrived a little early, her baby decided to come early too! Blakely Charles Martin arrived on April 9th weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces and measuring 20 inches. I'm thinking joint birthday parties are in our future!

Happy Birth Day

Henry arrived this evening at 5:36 weighing 7 pounds 15 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. I was in labor for 7 hours and pushed for 23 minutes. I'm feeling good and Henry is busy sleeping and eating.

Our first moments together.

My little Henry!
