A family wedding

At the beginning of August, we had both a birthday and a family wedding to celebrate! My sister Abbye turned 23 and I was so happy to spend the day with her in Atlanta! My parents were up as well, and they all got to spend some QT with Henry. 

After lunch, we sang "Happy Birthday!" over red velvet cupcakes! Our fave!

Happy birthday to the best sister ever!

Later that evening, Abbye kept Henry while we all attended Fain and Laney's rehearsal dinner. I had the pleasure of planning the event with Vicky - it was so fun and an honor, too! Endive, the chosen venue, was the perfect place to celebrate the happy couple on the eve of their wedding! 

Here's my mom and Vicky outside of the candle-lit entrance!

The black and white themed event was magical! The crisp color combination was enchanting with all of the candle light.

**I'll have more details about the party on my other blog too!**

But, here are a few snaps around the party!

On Saturday, the wedding was held at The Foundry at Puritan Mill. Here's Pammy and Pop with their two grandsons!

Henry did great during the ceremony - he got a little hungry toward the end so I slipped out quietly.

Here's the gorgeous bride, Laney!

My handsome hubs was also a groomsman.

My two dates for the night!

On Sunday morning, we helped host a brunch at the Georgian Terrace. Our cousin Kathryn's baby Morgan is about 10 days older than Henry. Here's Laney holding her! 

And Fain making her smile!

It was such a fun weekend and we wish Fain and Laney all the very best as Mr. and Mrs.!!! 

Our beautiful boy!

Heaven!

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!

Playing in pj's!

I could eat him with a spoon!

Henry's Newborn Pictures

The uber talented Ashlee Culverhouse met us at my parent's house for Henry's newborn session. I loved every one of the images, but here are a few of my absolute favorites! 

I was so happy we could have most of the family there to snap pics with the little guy too!
