Henry and Nanny McMaggie

Henry has been such a sweet addition to our family. We all love him so much and are so thankful he is finally here. One member of our family is especially in love with her new brother. She has taken up her family responsibilities since "Nee-Nee's" arrival by throwing away dirty diapers, bringing paci's, diapers and other needs to mommy and daddy when asked all in an effort to help take care of her new brother. She's even fed Henry a bottle and today she attempted to put his pacifier in his mouth without being asked (we'll have to keep an eye out as she gets more creative in her nannying skills). But, so far it has been fun seeing them interact.

Maggie takes her
nannying skills very seriously and often practices with her baby dolls.
Henry's bilirubin (sp?) was a little high when we took him for some blood work a week ago, so the doctor had us treat him with 24 hour formula feeding (something to do with high hormones in breast milk), so Maggie got a chance to feed a bottle to him and she absolutely loved it. She was so gentle with him and paid such careful attention it was really sweet. And, Henry took a bottle like a champ and his bilirubin level has come back down, although he is still a tad yellow but he wears it well.

Maggie and her cousin"Bro-bee" (Brody) have been joined at the hip. They are really sweet to watch ...there's a lot of cuteness going 'round!

Henry's first bath. He didn't really enjoy the body washing portion of his bath. As you can see from his concerned look in this picture.

He's more of a head massage kind of guy. He practically fell asleep during this part. But, that has sort of been his personality. He is really laid back and so sweet. He really has been a blessing to us...God is so good and we cherish His precious children.
