Henry, the Big Boy, Mr. Content - Sleeping and Playing

October 10, 2012

Henry, you are 2.5 months here and you are already so big!  You nap on Mamma and Daddy's bed every morning.  It's so sweet.  You look so comfy,  like an angel,  laying on our comforter. You are a little chunker and I could just eat you up.  You have no problem eating - you are a healthy, big boy.  You are such a joy - you smile and laugh all the time - no joke.  And maybe all parents say this about their babies,  but I am serious.  It's the way you are.  You are a joy.  Such an easy baby.  It will be interesting and amazing to watch you grow and to see if your content, sweet and laid back personality sticks.  You can sit in your swing or play on your piano toy mat for an hour and be completely content.  I love you sweets, with all my heart!  Mamma

Henry's First Nap in His Crib

August 23, 2012

Henry,

Today you took your first nap in your crib. It was your first time to sleep in your crib! You slept for over 2 hours. You looked so peaceful. Swaddling you is important because you don't have much control over your arms and body yet so you kind of wiggle and drive yourself crazy if are you are not swaddled! Hudson was the same way.
You were used to being all cuddled up and warm in your Mamma's belly. Aw baby! I miss you kicking me and wiggling all around!

I love you,
Mamma

I Can't Keep My Eyes Open, but I 'm NOT Napping

Hudson,

You refuse to nap. You think nap time is for babies. One day, you will find out that this is not the case. So, you fight and fight it, however, it's a common scene to see you fall asleep in the car because you actually do need naps still. So, you will nap in the car, but refuse to nap at home. It's funny. I am not sure why. Maybe you think you are missing out if you nap at home and you never want to miss out on anything. Sometimes when we are pulling up into the driveway, you will say, "Drive around Mamma," so you can nap. Lately, with my pregnancy, you fall asleep and then I pull into the driveway and nap with you! Mamma is very fatigued with this pregnancy. I am chasing you all around and playing with you so there no rest for the weary!

I love you sweet boy, Mamma
