Today Hendrik is 101 days old! Since I am someone who likes numbers and symmetry, this is quite a momentous day. There are so many little milestones... I had been concerned that he wasn't keeping his head up yet, and of course I kept seeing pictures of everyone else's more precocious babies who were younger yet already doing algebra or something while holding their heads up. I would put H on his tummy and he would face plant and drool, then cry. I nervously chalked it up to a huge noggin. But then all of a sudden, the day he turned 3 months old, it's like his head became buoyant and he lifted it up and looked all around. He still face plants a lot, but at least it's not his only tummy-bound perspective on the world. Another fun first was on Mothers' Day. |
Here is Hendrik, roughly 40-100 days... our boy getting bigger and bigger. Feeling blessed in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over!
