Henry-4 weeks old

Henry's now 4 weeks old, wow that went by fast :). We've loved having our little guy and watching him grow and change every single day.

We certainly aren't in any sort of schedule yet as Henry rules the roost around here (he wakes every 1.5-4 hours to eat) but there are some things that we try to accomplish every day like tummy time/playing on the play mat and reading stories. He loves to be swaddled or ride in the baby bjorn and makes lots of funny faces when he's tired. Some days we live by the 5 S's from Happiest Baby On the Block (swaddle, suck, side/stomach, swing and shush) but overall he's a great baby. He's becoming more vocal and alert when he's playing or we are holding him. He's also very noisy when eating,lots of loud gulps! Thankfully, Henry doesn't cry when Max and Lila bark and usually sleeps through it.

Chris gave him his first bottle yesterday and he took it down no problem (5.5 oz). My lactation consultant suggested leaving the house for the first bottle (as it can be very emotional for Mom) but Chris wanted me around in case there were any issues. All I was needed for was taking a photo :)
