Splish Splash

Henry spent most of the afternoon hanging out by the pool...

so sleepy from all those laps around the pool....

Henry's Many Faces

Ikea

On Saturday the Dockendorf's went on their first little trip as a family. The day was full and a long journey for our little mister, but he hung in their like a champ... We got him this super cool Rockin' Moose! I cant wait to see him ride it when he gets big enough!

Sweet Like Birthday Cake.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Oh Lord, I do not wish for much, Eternal beauty or youth or such.
Just give me a little hand to hold, and I'll forget I'm growing old.
I do not ask for cloudless skies, a life that's free from tears and sighs.
Just give me a little face to kiss and anxious moments will turn to bliss.
For what is there really, that means so much, as little hands that reach and touch.
And little eyes that search and see, only the best in fragile me.
So let me grow more loving and wise, as I gaze into their little eyes.
Tis' through this little one you have given, this grateful Grandmother a glimpse of heaven
-a poem by Barbara Burrows

Naptime is our favorite.

Jared's 1st Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Jared! Henry and I are so blessed to have him in our lives... I love my little family so much. Today we went to church for the second time with Henry, it went a bit rougher than last weekend but still manangable. Then out for lunch of Jared's choosing. Now back at home and Jared introduced a bottle to Henry and it went great! They are both sleeping like little bambinos.

Here are pictures I took from this week... Henry is changing everyday. Today his big thing was to make sounds while lying in his cradle and entertain himself. So cute! He is smiling more and more each day, and loved the Peek-A-Boo game I played with him yesterday.

5 Weeks Old

Yesterday was our first day alone together. All of the family has gone and Jared is back at work. It was a bit of a rough go but by the end of the day I was able to shower (finally) and I got a smile from Henry! He was working really hard to give it to me too, so it made the day totally worth it! I tried to catch it on video but was a bit unsuccessful, however I thought I would post the video anyway.

p.s. Today is going much better... he is napping away!
