Henry at 12 weeks

Today, our Henry is 12 weeks old. In so many ways it feels like he's been here forever, but in many ways it feels as if he just arrived. Every day he makes us smile, laugh, and count our blessings. I may be partial, but Henry is the best baby. He wakes up happy, which is just the cutest thing we've ever seen. He loves being outside, on walks with mommy and daddy, or on the boat with us and Baxter. He's a great car rider too...maja plus for this mommy. ;) 

Over the course of the last month or so, we've dropped our middle-of-the-night feeding. Now, he's sleeping from 8:30pm to 6:30am. It's amazing! Henry loves his bed, and has been sleeping there at night since he was about 2 weeks old. He naps during the day in his swing or with mommy. 

Our "schedule" is mostly like this:

6:30am - wake up and feed

7:30ish - 8:30ish - mommy/Henry cat nap time

9:00am - eat

10:00am - get dressed for the day and go on a walk

11:00am - snack and then play time for an hour or so

12:30ish - run errands with mom or nap at home

2pm - eat

3/3:30ish - cat nap

5pm - eat and wait for Daddy to get home!

6pm - play time

7:30pm - bath time - he LOVES bath time! He just melts in the warm water, and makes it easy to bathe him!

8:00pm - feed

8:30pm - night night! We put his pjs on, and swaddle from the chest down.

Henry is a great eater! He'll take 8oz in no time! He's averaging 24-30oz per day, which is right on track. He's about 14 lbs, and growing all the time! We are still in 3 month clothes but he's getting taller, so they will not fit for too much longer! 

Henry is so responsive and loves when mommy makes funny faces and when daddy whistles. He lights up when David gets home which makes me melt! 

Henry's hair is still hanging in there - he hasn't lost much of it at all. His eyes remain a deep navy blue that sometimes looks charcoal - we're still waiting to see what color they'll be. 

Henry "exercises" alot on his play mat - kicking and hitting the hanging parts with his hands. He's discovered that he can grab them too. He kicks around in his bed at night even in the swaddle - it scared me so much the first time in went in and he definitely wasn't facing the direction in which I laid him down! 

Happy 3 month birthday to our happy baby boy! We love you more than words can say!
