Four Months Old

This little guy just continues to get bigger and bigger. Much like his sister he has decided that hanging out in the fiftieth percentile isn't for him, so he made the jump to the nintey-fifth.

He is gradually getting a little more content when not being held and even enjoys his bouncer and swing for short periods of time. He is starting to sleep through the night a little bit more regularly too, which this exhausted momma is so thankful for!

He thinks he is getting big and tries to sit up constantly. Something tells me he will probably start moving earlier than his big sister did.

We love our little Henry! His coos, smiles, and laughs just melt my heart. He loves to snuggle and give kisses. He really is a sweet baby and we feel so blessed to have him in our family.

Two Months Old

I'm only a few days late this time. Our little Henry is already two months old!

He has gotten so big. He is so much more alert and responsive when we talk to him.  In fact he has an adorable smile with dimples. Someday I will even get a picture of it.

Grace is getting more and more acclimated to having him around. Mostly she ignores him, but she does like to give him hugs and kisses and help my carry him around.

We are grateful for him and love having him in our little family.

One Month

As usual I am late at getting this out.  Our little Henry is officially one month old!  That went so fast!  As per his usual self he put up with his oneie photoshoot like a champ!

He is finally starting to put on a little bit of weight and seems to have gotten taller.  I won't know his measurements for a couple more weeks.  All I know is that he can finally wear his 0-3 clothes without totally swimming in them.

He is a good little baby who sleeps pretty well.  He is starting to sleep in longer stretches both day and night which is very helpful.  He loves attention and thinks he needs to be held 24/7, which of course I would love to do, but his big sister won't have it.

Henry loves his big sister and she loves him.  She loves to give him hugs and kisses and still oohs and ahhs over him.

We love our little man and are so glad he is part of our family!

Sidenote: Thanks to my sister Jennifer for designing and making all of his super cute monthly ties!

Introducing Henry ...

 Henry Theron Roundy

August 5, 2013

7 lbs 10 oz 21 in

We are so excited to have our little man here with us.  He was born Monday, August 5th at 4:24 pm.  I was admitted to the hospital that morning to be induced.  After the speed of Grace's labor I was really anxious about this one so I opted for the induction.  Unlike his sister Henry took his time.  They started the pitocin at 9 am and things didn't really start progressing much till around 3pm.  At that point things got more intense.  I had opted not to get the epidural until I thought that I really needed it.  I waited too long, I got some IV drugs, but no real pain killers (I don't reccomend waiting that long).  I was pretty loopy from what they gave me so I am not totally clear on how things went down.  I know I wasn't fully dialeted yet, but Henry's heart rate dropped pretty dramatically so the doctor felt he needed to deliver so I started pushing at 8cm (once again I don't reccommend this method).  The doctor helped out and he came pretty quickly, it took a minute to get him crying, but he was perfectly healthy and just perfect.

He has the same chin and mouth as Grace and really looks so much like his dad!  He is a very handsome boy!

Grace met him that evening and immediatly wanted to hug and kiss him.  She has a cute baby talk voice and she just oohs and ahhs over him.  It's so cute!

 

Our little family of four!

We brought Henry home on Wednesday.  Grace was excited to have him there and loves to hold him for two seconds at a time.

He is so tiny!

 But it is so fun to have a sweet tiny baby again, and I love seeing Grace take on her role as big sister!
