Two weeks!

So much for our weekly blog updates... Henry is celebrating his fourth week on the planet today, but here we are only posting pictures from week two. Better late than never!

Henry continues to be a good natured and mellow little fellow. We catch him smiling regularly and although our pediatrician tells us these are just gassy expressions and not real smiles, we like to think otherwise. Isn't he cute??





Henry had us a little worried this week due to jaundice and slow weight gain. Things were looking up by the end of the week though - Henry was nearly back up to birthweight, got a thumbs up from his pediatrician, and his slightly yellow appearance started to turn to a rosy pink.








Once his umbilical cord fell off, we gave Henry his first tub bath. Someday he'll protest the publishing of such immodest photos...


And post bath, smiling and looking cute in his hooded towel.







Lucky for us, Grandma Nelson continued her stay for the next couple of weeks. Here she is patiently burping Henry post feeding.



And enjoying more Grandma time on our sunny roof deck...





Dad resumed his regular work schedule this week, but still got to spend plenty of time with his little man.




Gunnar was still at doggie camp this week, put Pete successfully lobbied us for a photo on the blog. Meow.




We continue to be amazed by this perfect, tiny little person we created. Where will these little feet take him in life? We look forward to finding out.
