So I Never Forget

I can’t count how many times I’ve heard, “You forget how small they are” over the past six weeks.  Just about everyone who has children has told me they have forgotten how small their babies once were—even the parents with small children.  That’s so sad!  Out of fear of forgetting these precious days, I have taken pictures.  Lots and lots of pictures.  I have taken more pictures in the past six weeks than I have in the past two and a half years of marriage.  I will already claim guilty for being a parent who takes a million pictures of their first born and maybe not so many of their other children.  But, just for the record for my future children, it isn’t because I love them any less.  I probably will never have the time like I do now.

Henry is already growing so much and way too fast.  He is no longer my newborn babe.  He gained almost a whole pound in one week, making him nine pounds eleven ounces (and I'm sure over ten pounds by now).  He grew out of his newborn clothes and his newborn diapers.  It made me a little sad.  I swear, every time I look at him, his head is a little bigger.  His “man hands” as I like to call them even seem a little bigger.  So…to make sure I never forget how small my baby once was, here's pictures from the past six weeks:

Happy Easter...poor kid!  We had a lot of good laughs with this photo shoot.
