All about Henry: 2 months

Weight: 12.8 lbs (73%)
Height: 24 in (84%)
Head: 15.75 in (48%)

We are so happy to have Henry in our family! He makes it feel more full and complete. Here are some things we love about Henry at two months:

• The first thing anyone says about him is "Look at that hair!" I love his hair. Some people have mentioned how he already needs a hair cut, but no way. Not yet. It's too much fun. Maybe when he can hold his head up I'll reconsider.
• He loves to eat and it shows! He's growing into a little chunk and he's heavy, especially compared to Grace at this age.
• He loves to talk. If you make eye contact with him, he'll strike up a conversation with you and has been known to keep up back and forth banter for up to a half hour! During these conversations sometimes I sing to him and he "sings" with me, smiling all the while.
  
• He is strong. I really have to work to get him dressed some days when he just wants to keep his arms and legs locked straight.
• He poops out of his diaper at least once daily. I guess this goes along with the loving to eat thing. We don't love this part as much, but it is something memorable for the blog.
• He doesn't spit up. However, he is a messy eater. He frequently lets go while nursing just to see how quickly he can latch on again, over and over. This results in a lot of dribbled and squirted milk.
• He's a happy boy overall, Grace loves him and so do we! We're so happy they get along so far.
