Feeling better...

King Henry

The tree was decorated last night, and so was Henry...

Proof!

It's kinda like what I expect whale watching to be like: no one believes you've seen one until you get photo proof.

Blowing bubbles

...although the bubbles are from him having a cold. Honking cough, breathing fast, and not feeding well at its worst. But he seems to be on the mend.
On a happier note, we *think* he has smiled at each of his parents on separate occasions.

Meditation

Healthy in mind and body weight (at his 3 week and 5 day check he weighed in at 10lb 2oz).

3 weeks + 2 days

He is capable of sleeping on his own, but only if he's too asleep to realize it.

Nicknames

So Henry can have several nicknames, including Hank (American? Based on Old English), Harry (British? Based on Old English), or Hal. Lucky him? For the record, he was not named after Prince Henry of Wales (aka Prince Harry, the younger brother of Prince William).
And then there's Gus for August. Although Mark just calls him Henners at the moment.

2 weeks

Here is what happens when his older brother helps put him to sleep.


Henry doesn't only sleep and eat...

one week

At one week, he's had a bath, his nails trimmed, and still hasn't had his eyes poked out by his older brother! He's also managed to put on weight since his birthday.
