First Two Weeks

Henry had a pretty awesome first two weeks of life. Here are some of the things he did:

He was born (May 2).
He starred in a film made by his dad.


He had his first bath.
He took lots of naps on his parents.
He received lots of kisses.

He helped dad model his Jedi outfit.
He visited the Fremont Troll.
He took a trip to Grandpa and Grandma Nyland's house.
He became a DJ (get it - it looks like he's spinning the turn table on his onesie).

He attended Super-Cute Sunday.
And he celebrated his 2-weeks with a burrito his size.
And he slept through most of it...

good parenting

Henry, don't make these faces in public:

Sweetheart

Our little Henry is such a sweetie...






Except when he's not...

Our baby boy
