Henry's Happenings

This is Henry getting an upper GI test. It looks sad, but he actually really enjoyed it, sadly enough. The heart paci in his mouth makes me smile. Poor baby. He has reflux and we are trying our best to get him relief. Between formula change, meds, and other tricks, we are trying to get drama free feedings around here. Pray for our little guy's GI tract to mature quickly!

Henry's Nonnie (Randall's mother) came to meet him over the weekend. He enjoys his weekend company. He has yet to have a weekend without a grandparent...spoiled boy!

Nonnie got to feed Henry. Our feedings are sometimes pretty stressful because of the reflux. He sure is cute when he eats though. We love all his fun burp rags (He has 22 burp rags and they are ALL monogrammed....LOVE IT!) and looking into his little eyes as he gulps as fast as he can. So cute, he is.

Henry is more alert each day. The only toy he pays any attention to these days is his new gloworm he got from Hollye, Claire and Thew for Christmas. I think it is the light on it that grabs his attention. He likes to listen to his Jesus Loves Me bear he got as a gift from Hollye's MIL and his musical horsey he got from Grandaddy and Aunt Connie when they found out I was pregnant. He listens to them on his changing table when he is getting diapered and dressed. He is so fun to observe each day.

He likes his swing and he is noticing the little mobile more each day. I think the motion soothes his reflux. He is really filling out his swing more and more each day. He will be driving a car around JTown before too long.

Henry is learning that napping in his bed and lying awake in his bed for a while is an okay thing. He is so cute when he is awake in his bed. This is what I get to see before I pick him up. I love those arms. I can't wait until they reach for me.

This is Henry's mad face. This is the face I get to see when his bottle is empty and he wants more or when the flash of the camera blinds him for the 1000th time...bingo!

Henry's Daddy is a great multi-tasker. He comes down from his office to work often so he can spend time with his little guy. Henry likes working with his Daddy and his Daddy likes the companionship. He is the best coworker ever!

And this is me soaking up my baby and stealing all his kisses. I am so blessed to have this sweet baby to look after each day. Even at 2:00 in the morning, fuzzy eyed and listening to a refluxing baby scream, I count it all joy.
Abby

Be sure and ponder these things in your heart. It won't be long and they will be just far away memories.

What a beautiful time! I am glad he is feeling better. Mary-Kate had reflux and it is a nightmare.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
