Henry Update

Here's a little update on my Henry boy. 

He is the sweetest big brother! He loves Rosie so much- the first thing he says when he wakes up is "Baby!" and he instantly tries to find her. He loves to pat her head, give her little kisses, and just give her big cheesey grins. He also tries to "play" with her (at least that's what I tell myself!) by throwing balls at her or hitting her with pillows, so I've got to protect her quite a bit from him. :) 

I am constantly amazed at how smart he is. He is a little parrot and is saying so many new words! He understands quite a bit and loves to be helpful. He loves cars, climbing on things, and playing with his little kitchen and fake food. He loves to swim and is always trying to find a way to splash around in water. (by spilling cups and sitting in it or trying to jump in the gutters, the crazy pants!) 

He is definitely a strong willed little guy and puts up a fight every once in awhile when asked to be obedient. He is normally very happy and go friendly with other children but every once in awhile (and it seems to only be with certain kids) he'll be a bit more aggressive. Otherwise he kind of loves other children to death, as in he'll hug them and never want to let go, or chase them all over trying to give kisses. He seems to get along best with kids that are older than him. His nursery leaders tell me he is always easy to please and happy even when other kids take away the toy he was playing with, so that's pretty good! 

I think the two best words to describe him are PARTY ANIMAL. Seriously. Everything is a party to him. He is constantly laughing, beaming a cheesey grin or dancing. He loves being the center of attention and loves smiling at others. (unless he's tired, then he's all partied out. :) )

I love this adorable boy and his fun personality! He truly keeps me moving and learning each day. I will always cherish these days with my little Henry boy. 

Rosemary's One Month Update

Rosemary hit her one month mark! I already can't believe how much she's changed. Definitely chubbier and more alert. I think she'll be a chunker like her brother was, she's got some great rolls in their early stages already. :) 

I can't believe what a sweet, easy baby she is, especially because I thought Henry was easy, but she blows him away. Just one content, easy to please little lady! She still eats great but definitely spits up quite a bit. Nothing that's out of the normal for a newborn though. She is also sleeping a bit better at night! She'll go down around 9:30/10pm and sleep until 2 or 3, and then do a 3-4 hours stretch after that. 

She has started giving hints of smiles- at least I think so anyway :) I'm excited to start seeing more smiles and maybe even hearing a coo or two soon! Henry loves her to pieces and she is starting to wince a little less when he's near, so that's good right? :) When I see them together I just die- they are too cute. 

Also let's talk about how this was the fastest month of my life! Time is on warp speed these days, and I'm trying my best to soak in every moment with these precious little ones.
