April Update

Is my brother handsome or what? Mommy's computer is too slow to upload a bunch of photos, so these Target pics will have to do. Henry is six weeks old and is turning into a Hoss! He's roughly ten pounds and eats all the time-I think he loves owck (how I say milk) more than me. He's strong too. The other day he started pushing up off his tummy. I think his tummy is upset a lot because he cries a lot until the "gassy wassy" comes out. Hopefully he'll grow out of this because I'm ready to have a playmate. I try to get him to play ball with me but he doesn't like it when I throw balls at him (neither does Mommy). I do give him a pacy though and he likes that sometimes but most of the time he spits it out.

I'm learning new words everyday and can almost spell my name, but the letter R is a toughy for me. I love my letter blocks and playing in the dirt outside, except for when I get dirt on my clothes or on my hands-that's when I wipe the dirt off with Henry's blanket. I'm kind of a neatnik but I don't really like putting my toys away, but I do love helping Mommy unload the dishwasher. She thinks I'm a big help and can't believe how fast I'm growing. I'll be two years old next month, which means I won't be a baby anymore, except to Mommy, who says I'll always be her baby.

Henry is Here!

Our first family picture

I guess I'm a week late posting this, but I've so busy helping mommy take care of my new baby brother. He's a week old today, and so far, mommy says that he's an easier baby than I was (that's pretty amazing, since I was an angel baby). I think mommy is a lot more relaxed this time around. She's not nearly so emotional and knows what to do now when Henry cries.

I wasn't so sure what to do with Henry at first. I thought maybe his mom would come get him at some point, just like Eli. But after a few days, I realized that he's not going anywhere and he doesn't really do anything anyway. He just cries, sleeps and eats (which is with mommy, and so weird). I do help mommy burp him and I give him kisses, but other than that I try to ignore him.

My grammy is here for a few days so I get a fun playmate for a few days, and mommy gets to rest some. Some people think that Henry looks like me and some think that he looks like daddy. All I know is that he is so handsome! He has blond hair and blue eyes and long fingers and toes. Right now his cry sounds like a mouse squeak but lately he's been crying louder and longer. He hates getting into the car seat (but so do I) and he calms down once he's in the car. We love having visitors (me especially) so please come see us if you can. Mommy's not looking forward to getting out with just us kids but she'll have to soon or she'll go crazy.
