Henry Christopher- Two Months Old
He is growing so quickly and changing every day! He had his two month old check up at the doctors yesterday and is looking healthy as can be! He had 3 shots and one oral vaccine and he was MAD about it! He seems to have survived the ordeal though :)
He is 24" long (75-90%), weighs 12lbs, 5oz (50-75%) and his head is 15.75" (50%).
Tommy was also 24" long, but a little bigger at 12lbs, 12oz. Tommy's head was 15.94"
What is Henry up to at two months?
- He eats every 3 hours during the day and does longer stretches at night. Usually it's about 6-7 hours, but he has done 9!
- He sleeps from about 8pm - 7:30am getting up to eat once.
- His naps are getting more predictable- a morning snooze, a long afternoon nap, and a quick third nap around dinner time.
- He still tries to get his thumb in his mouth, but has learned to keep a pacifier in his mouth and that seems to do the trick. He especially loves his "wubbanub"- a pacifier with a small stuffed frog attached to it.
- He is just starting to wear size 2 diapers
- He is in mostly 3-6 month clothes and even a few 6 month outfits.
- Smiling and cooing are getting easier and coming faster.
- He loves to lay and bat or kick at things and can watch his mobile for several minutes at a time.
- He still loves his baths- it's one of my favorite times of the day with him.
Tommy was NOT too into this at the beginning!
One of my favorites!
I love this little boy!
In front of church
Receiving the baptism
Three of Henry's cousins- Madelyn, Ellie, and Audrey- sang "Shine on Us." They did a great job!
After church everyone came to our house for dinner. Here are four of the cousins eating at the "kids' table."
Grandma and Papa Plaisier
The Plaisier side (poor Sarah had a broken nose- ouch!!)
Great Grandma and Grandpa De Vries (and Henry's namesake)
Grandma and Grandpa Batts with all of the grandkids (minus Andrew)
The Batts side (minus Chris Bol and Andrew)

Henry wore the same baptism gown as Tommy wore
Kisses from big brother
Trisha wore the ring for her baptism and the chain was Papa Plaisier's from his baptism.
More love from big brother
My boys ;)
Saturday was a gorgeous fall day and we headed out to the Kalamazoo Holiday Parade! Tommy loved it and was right up in front with all of the other kids. His favorite thing was a man dressed as Frosty the Snowman.
Mommy and Henry
Having fun!
All bundled up!

Snuggling with Daddy before bedtime.
Just relaxing...
All fresh and clean after a bath!
Ready for bed in his jammies!

Pretending to be a woodpecker...
Nathan the pirate with his talking parrot.
Instead of saying trick-or-treat Tommy would make his toucan chirpping noise and then say thank you in a deep voice which I guess is how a toucan talks. It was pretty funny! :)
