15 Weeks

It's our two year anniversary today! So many amazing things have happened in the last two years. Hoa was saying that's the great thing about marriage- but we amended that statement to say that's the great thing about being married to the right person. 

I usually put Marky to bed, but this week Tom started putting him to bed too. He asked if he should sing a song to him. I said, "Well I sing 'hush little baby' to him every night. Right after I said that, Tom started singing an Usher song, "Baby, I don't mind."  When he finished I said, "Unconventional choice for a bedtime song, but that was nice." He said, "You chose that song! You said you sing 'Usher little baby' to him every night before bed." Hahahahah. 

New nautical outfit from grandma and grandpa! So cute!

My fave pic this week. 

Getting so good at sitting! Shannon says Mark's very advanced. Tom says, "Shannon is smart. She knows that's what you want to hear."

With my cutie pie. 

Such a gentleman!

Baby buddies. 

Nom nom nom. 

Bath time!

Face off!

So sleepy before Tom feeds him at night. 

Went to Christy's shower this week. Tom did a single parenting stint. Seems like the boys had fun! Lots of pizza in the fridge when I got home. 

Gorgeous baby shower cake!

He found his thumb!

See you next week!!

14 Weeks!

14 Weeks!

Marky has reached so many milestones this week! He started being able to grab things, he is able to sit unassisted for a second, and we dropped the swaddle! He also got his first cold- sad. But, he's still a happy little bug. He gives us a huge smile when he wakes up in the morning. Tom's been giving Mark a little bit of extra milk at night, which is nice because they get a little extra special time together. 

So big! And handsome I think!

What's happening over there!

A more traditional shot. 

Sitting unassisted! Can you believe it! Ah- time is flying by!

Mark looks like Frances in this pic, don't you think? I flipped her picture to make it more obvious. 

He looks a little like Kelly- but not as much. Lis said he looks like James this week!

Alice is always trying to hold Mark's hand. So cute!

Handsome little man- ready to run a structural equation model. 

So happy in the bumbo!

Kind of a sly grin- this is what I picture Tom looking like as a kid. 

Extra time with pops at night. 

Better picture for scale. Went on a few road trips this week. 

Like our trip to Mexican food! Mark's on a new schedule. It's working out great!

After a bath!

See you next week!

Love,

The Atlanta Henry's!

13 Weeks!

13 Weeks!

Time is flying by! I cannot believe Mark is already 13 weeks old. We just started giving him an extra ounce of milk at night, and he's started sleeping until 6:30 or 7. Coincidence? Not sure, but we are collecting data!

Ah! Growing so fast. He's been sucking on his hands. Pretty sure it's because he's teething- I can feel tooth buds I think. We broke our old photo frame- but it made it 54 weeks, so not bad!

Mark and his second cousin Isabelle!

We had a fantastic time! Jean, Izzy, and I got pedicures. They had a kids' chair! We also made cookies with Kimie!

Mark's first zoo trip!

Babies in the park. 

Playing during the day!

Family time!

Chillin'.

We set the iPhone timer for this one!

Little man!

:)

Ha! Pops and Marky are dressed alike!

I think Mark's hair is getting reddish. Tom disagrees- for now!

'Til next week! Love you guys!

12 Weeks!

12 Weeks!

Tom is back! We are so happy he's here. Mark has been going through a growth spurt, so he ate nonstop all weekend. He may also be teething- he's got flushed cheeks and is drooling a lot. But overall, he's doing great! He is so precious!

Hard to get a good picture this week- he kept sliding down on the pillow. 

First time in the bumbo chair!

Mark's first Easter! I told Kelly Mark had a message for his xiao a i (little aunt).  She was confused 'cause she forgot she is his auntie! Aren't babies fun? Everyone gets a new title!

Rapid growth, no?

Green is his color!

I love this picture- chatting with dad!

Spring babies. 

See you next week!

P.S.  Ender turns 7 tomorrow! Time flies! He's celebrating with a can of wet food!

11 Weeks!

11 Weeks

Tom comes back on Friday! We are so excited. I am giving myself and Mark a pat on the back for our single parenting journey. 

Mark is doing fantastic! He is sleeping through the night, and last night he slept from 9:30pm to 6:45. And it was a night after my teaching day to boot. I finally figured out that he just wasn't getting enough to eat on the days I went to work. Poor guy!  Also, he had been having trouble with naps.  He would look really sleepy, fall asleep, but then wake up a few minutes after I put him down for a nap. I sat and watched him to try to figure out what was happening, and it turns out he still has a really strong Moro reflex. I started double swaddling him and now he gets great sleep during his naps instead of poor broken sleep. 

I have to rush to post this, or Kelly will send me a text asking why I'm taking so long. Ha!

Mark with his current favorite book. Thanks grandma and grandpa Henry!

He makes so many great faces!

Extreme close up. 

Flyaway hair. 

Laaaa. 

Already a heartbreaker! Alice is trying to grab his hand. 

Very suave. I think he looks like a Henry here!

He is such a sweet pea. 

Ender says see you next week!
