Off we go!

We are going down to my mom's then dad's house for Christmas this year. I bought this onesie for Henry long before he was born, so I was excited to use it.

Big blue eyes, and cheeks that taste like candy.

Telling me stories.

We are trying to learn how to sit up, and it's a slow process.

S-P-O-I-L-E-D

That is what the Aunt and Uncle Moser do to Henry. . SPOIL him. They came over and we exchanged gifts. They bought Henry some really fun building blocks and a toy that he can ride, or walk with. After tasting each block, he decided it was the perfect gift.

Ripping the paper.

This kid makes the funniest faces.

Yummy!

Alan took Henry to see Santa, but it was "workshop" Santa that day. He was wearing a blue shirt without the hat or anything festive. So right before my brother in law, Roger, went to a party as Santa I snapped a couple pictures. I was surprised that Henry didn't cry, like he did with the first Santa.

Henry checking the beard to see if it's legit.

Grandma and Grandpa Roberts bought Henry this jump'n'go. He doesn't so much jump, as twirl around and look at the lights.

Maybe I should move it off the slippery hardwood floor. :o)

Henry loves Christmas

I'm pretty sure that's one of the cutest outfits I've ever seen for a boy. And if you have a boy, you know it's not often that something that adorable comes along. Besides, with the 10 dollar price tag, you would be stupid to pass it up!

Henry is now 8 months old and we are falling more in love with our little man every day. This is his Christmas outfit with matching hat.


He LOVES laying by the tree and looking at the lights. Helps me out when I'm busy doing something else.



My fun craft project for the season!

My heart is full

Not a day goes by that I don't look at Henry J and realize how blessed and thankful I am. But for this week of Thanksgiving I would like to publicly express my feelings. I know that I got very lucky for my situation and not everyone gets to see their babies go home. I will never be able to express my gratitude to the doctors and nurses at the U, who took care of him when I was not able to. I will never be able to thank mine and Alan's family enough for all the support. I will never be able to fully thank Alan for the amazing gift he gave me and for spending those long hours in the hospital at my side. You truly are the most amazing person I have ever met. Last and not least, I will never be able to tell Henry J how special he is to me and his father. We truly are blessed to have one another.

Happy Thanksgiving.


I love the holidays.

Crazy to think the holidays are already here, but we are ready at the Roberts house. I even found Henry the cutest beanie of all time. He probably doesn't agree with me, but he has no say in the matter.

Alan and mini Alan.

Don't mind my insanely red lips, they are dry as the sahara desert these days.


My awesome husband putting up the Christmas lights. They are red and white.. the Utes colors are red and white. Coincidence? I think not.

After attempting another try with the rice cereal, I needed to wash Henry off. I put him in the sink and it's just another reminder of how big he is.

Love you Henry J.

Time is flying.

This week we had Henry's NICU follow up appointment. All the doctors say that he is right on track and seems like a healthy, happy baby. He weighed in at 14 lbs and 8 oz and 25 inches long. They all commented on the size of his head though, and some expressed a little concern.. that is until they measured my head and realized it's all genetics. That's ok that we have big heads, need room for all the brains! :o)

The doctors were also impressed with Henry's sleeping schedule. Yes, my child is an awesome sleeper and for that we LOVE him. He will go to bed around 7 at night, and won't wake up till 7 or 8 the next morning. So if you do the math, that is 12-13 hours. Then to top it off he takes at least one long nap during the day. When he does wake up in the morning this is the sweet face that we get greeted with.

Henry J and mommy being bored with a camera.

We got Henry this play mat and he LOVES it. He will grab hold of the toys and just shake it like crazy.

Sitting up like a big boy in his Bumbo.

We have started cereal and it's.. not going so well. He's not a big fan, but it makes for really funny pictures.
