Week 7

Henry smiled for the first time on Wednesday!!! It melted my heart. He was 6 weeks old. When he turned 5 weeks old, I made it my mission to get him to smile. The doctor had told me that he should smile by 8 weeks so of course I wanted to make sure Henry met his first milestone. Henry woke up on Wednesday morning and I took him to my bed to feed him. During the middle of his feeding, I was talking and smiling at him as I always do but this time he decided to smile back at me. I was so excited!! I was screaming for Lee and he of course thought something was wrong. I love talking to him now and having him respond with sweet smiles and coos.  


We had a very big week in Charlotte visiting friends and family. The proud grandmothers threw a Sip and See in Henry's honor on Friday. I was nervous that Henry would be upset and fussy since it was being held from 4-6, which are not typically his best hours of the day. To my surprise, he did very well being passed around from woman to woman. It was fun to see so many friends that we haven't seen in awhile. I dressed Henry in his first nice outfit but of course he had to have a blow out that required  a new outfit.  It was a lot of fun!! Thanks Honey and Mimi! 


Not only did Henry meet lots of friends but he met many family members as well. He met BB and Daddy BB, Aunt Len, Aunt Mary and Uncle Mike, Tara, John, and Baby Reese. Reese was born about 2 1/2 weeks after Henry. She is precious!!! We are looking forward to seeig them together at Christmas! Henry also got to spend quality time with Honey, Bid Daddy, Mimi, Pop Pop, Aunt Katie, Aunt Alison, Uncle Brian, and Sammie.  


Henry's grandparents are so proud of him so we were asked to bring him to their offices so they could show him off. We went to see Honey, Big Daddy, and Pop Pop at their offices. Everyone loved meeting Henry!
