Happy Thanksgiving and Brithday!

My favorite Bday gift yet!

White Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all! We might be a day late but really its the whole weekend right? We have so much to be thankful for this year and feel very blessed. We had a nice relaxing birthday morning yesterday and a great meal with Michelle B and family. Henry slept through the whole day even with all the noise and commotion! Then proceeded to wake up the minute we got home....we decided our house is too quite for him :) He did give me the a birthday gift of a whole 5hrs of sleep last night! the first time in over a month that I got 5hrs straight! I don't expect it to happen again but it was a nice surprise.

weighing in

    What do you think weighs more my son or the 11lb turkey I just bought.......well if you guessed Henry you are right! yes the little man is weighing in at a whopping 11lbs 4oz, he got weighed, and measured (grew an inch as well) yesterday at his one month check up, he also got a shot so that was not fun. He is so strong the Dr. was really impressed with how well he is already holding his head up. Today I put on his 3month sized pjs and while they are a little big, they fit almost too well! His newborn outfits are going to have be put away :(

We have had a real winter wounder land around here the last few days; I keep thinking I am back in Boston with all the snow, really cold tems (high was 24 today!) and the bright sunshine. I love a day when snow is on the ground and the sun is out bright. Henry and I got out for coffee and costco trip today and with all the folks in the northwest afraid of the snow we had the place to ourselves.

Henry's First Snow

Ok so it did not stick but it was pretty coming down; but more is expected tomorrow so we will see if we get a true dusting then. 

Visiting daddy at work

Help from Grandma

Grandma was up to help this week as John headed back to work. It was a great help and Henry is already missing all the singing and stories. We had our first adventure to the Rack, the mall, and visiting daddy at work to have lunch! The nights are hit or miss but I dare say our bodies are getting used to the lack of sleep....

Baby's day at the Museum

Growing Boy!

We went and saw our friends who just had a baby at the hospital today and we could not believe how much bigger Henry looked compared to him! Today is his three week birthday and he is already looking so big. There are other times though when he grabs your finger that you think, wow he is so small.

John goes back to work on Monday so that is good and bad; my mom will be up for the week so don't have to go it alone yet; its is so nice to have someone else around to pass him off to when you need to. He still has his nights and days messed up and I am not thinking that is going to change any time soon....

Last day of sun

Enjoyed an afternoon walk today down at the lake before the rain returns tomorrow. The lack of sleep is really hard and Henry was up every hour last night from 1am on....sleeps like an angel during the day however. I think he has his days and nights confused, heres to hoping tonight is a bit better. Taking naps during the day are just hard to do but we need to make a better effort.
