Our Chunky Monkey

Henry is six weeks old today! The time has gone by so quickly, and he is growing like crazy. We went for the one month appointment on October 30, and Henry weighed 9 lbs, 14 oz. We had to go back to the doctor on November 9 (10 days later), and Henry had gained nearly two pounds! Babies typically gain two pounds per month, not per week. The doctor said Henry had a little growth spurt that moved him from the 54 percentile in weight to the 74 percentile. BIG BOY!

Henry has started to "talk" to us more, is smiling regularly and trying to laugh. He's a great sleeper, too. He sleeps about four hours at a time - day time and night time. We're getting a little more sleep, which is great, but what's better is seeing Henry's smiling face. :)

On his changing table after a bath....He's not in newborn diapers anymore. Kind of bittersweet for me.


Happy and handsome!
