Travis was at Scout Camp for a few days this past week and Hank and I missed him. When Travis got home, Hank kind of looked at him a little bit funny, but when I handed him to Travis, he gave Travis the biggest hug and wouldn't let go! He hugged him long enough for me to get out my phone and take a picture. It was the cutest thing. He missed his Daddy!

Hank's Blessing

On Sunday March 6, 2011, we blessed our little Hank! It was a stressful but wonderful day. We had soooo many family members and friends come to support us! In fact, I don't think I have ever seen a circle quite so big! Travis gave an absolutely amazing blessing and then we had a wonderful testimony meeting. I was pretty much crying the whole time. I am just so grateful for the many worthy Priesthood holders in my family- especially Travis. He is such a good husband and father.



One really cool thing is we were able to bless Hank in the same outfit Travis was blessed in! Brenda made it over 25 years ago for her son and then he got to bless his own son in the same outfit. I just thought that was awesome! It was such a wonderful day! Our sweet boy is getting bigger every day and we fall more and more in love with him every day. He is almost four months now!! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! He is already such a Daddy's boy and I just love it! It has been fun to see Travis take on the role of a father. Life is just so good!!!





I love our little man's smile! Such a cute face! He looks just like his Dad!

Hank

I wrote this post about two months ago but never finished it-- so I am just now adding it. It is a little outdated, but better late than never, right?





How horrible is it that I am just now blogging about my son when he is over two months old?? Better late than never I guess.

We have the most precious little addition to our family and we are L-O-V-I-N-G it! He was 4 weeks early and only 4 lbs 13 oz, but completely healthy! He is our little miracle baby! I won't go into details about his birth, but I will say that it was the most amazing day of my life and I would do it again in a heart beat. I never thought that I would enjoy that day, but I did and I miss it. There is nothing like holding your baby for the first time and the emotions that come with becoming a parent. Best thing ever!

His first two months of life have gone without incident- thank goodness! Because of his size and the time of year, we have had to be really careful to not expose him to too much because his little body wouldn't be able to handle much but he is getting so strong and the doctors aren't as concerned about him anymore. At his two month appointment he weighed 7 lbs 4 oz so he is still tiny! I have finally been able to put newborn clothes on him rather than preemie this week. I love babies so I have just enjoyed having a little one for so long. He is the sweetest little dude ever! I have never felt more blessed!
