Bath Time!

Henry had his first bathtub bath at Nanny & Papa's house!

Ok, so he didn't like it too much at first...


But once he was dry & warm, he was happy!


Big girl in the bath too!

Sweet Sister & Brother time

Emma has been a good helper with Henry & loves to help feed him, hold him, & kiss him.

She also likes to play with his toys!

Family Time!

We are enjoying being a family of 4! Adjustment hasn't always been easy, but at least we're having fun, right?

Daddy with his kiddos. Not quite sure what they were talking about, but thought they were cute :)

Big Sister & Deer

In the first weeks home, Emma had a bit of adjustment.  The good news was, she did at least like her baby brother...most of the time! 

She LOVES to hold him!



We saw two deer in our backyard one morning.  When they started at the garden, I had to scare them away! They haven't been back since. 


Emma likes to put on outfits.  I always tell her how pretty she looks & she asks me to take her picture because she looks SO pretty!! :)

Mother's Day Weekend 2011

Since Henry was only a week old, we decided to stay home for Mother's Day, but ventured to the grandparents' on Saturday instead.  

First we went to Nanny & Papa's house.  Papa was working, but we got to visit & have lunch with Nanny & Nene.

Then we headed up to Ball Ground for David's family to meet Henry (they were sick when Henry was born).

Grandma watched the kids for us while David took me out to dinner for Mother's Day.  On the way home, we dropped back by Marietta for baths & to see Papa.

Henry's First Days at Home!

We were able to go home on Sunday May 1. Atchie, Mom, Dad, Emma, & Nene met us at home.  Atchie bought us Subway for dinner (yum!!)



All snuggled up in his bouncy seat!


His big sister thought he needed a toy, so helped him out.


We were definitely a little busy the first few days.  One afternoon, I found both kids asleep at the same time! Here's Big Sister...


And Baby Brother


Emma was a sweet big sister, just was going through some adjustment.  Here she is feeding her Baby Stella a bottle...


While I was feeding Henry his bottle.


Henry's doctor recommended a little time in the sunlight, so we did a little "sun-bathing"


Poor Henry, it was Daddy's idea...


Henry had his first "bath" at home


And was all sweet & snuggly afterwards!


All in all, I think his big sister really likes him!

At the Hospital

So things have been very busy around here with two little cuties, but thought I should try to catch up on some pictures.

Meeting Mommy. Please ignore how I look....



Here's Daddy with Henry. Poor Daddy looks rather tired!

Henry dressed all cute! :) 


Daddy & Henry are ready to go home....We had to wait around awhile for everything to be done & for us to get our discharge papers. 



And now we're finally ready to go home!


Henry was born early Saturday morning, which was nice because we were able to have lots of visitors on Saturday afternoon.  We were able to go home on Sunday - and boy, were we happy to go home!
