Signs of Things to Come

I guess we should have taken baby Henry's first actions as Signs of Things to Come. As soon as he was born--he could not have been more than 5 minutes old--he wet all over my arm as I was holding him. He was so new born that they hadn't cleaned him off or put on a diaper yet.

Yesterday I started to change his diaper and he began to wet. My reactions are pretty quick, but he managed to spray my blouse, my skirt, the bathroom floor, and the bathroom counter (where he was). I yelled and Kirk came running upstairs to help. As I cleaned up, I noticed that he had started to do a little bit of No. 2, which I quickly tried to wipe up. Suddenly there was a massive explosion and he sprayed his yellow liquidy BM all across the counter, though most of it got in the sink. Good aim! said Kirk. I was laughing so hard I had to leave the room. Kirk got to clean up most of the mess. We've never had that much of a mess from a baby before.

Andrew now has the runner up on the messy baby category for his diaper that leaked all over me while I was sitting in a government office building in Caracas. I got to try and clean him and me, then travel back across the city on the metro to our apartment.

Henry is a very cute baby.
He was blessed on the first Sunday in December.
We all love him (though Lucy gets tired of him sometimes and tells me to "stop feeding him").
Edward also had his birthday last week with a volcano cake and M&M lava bombs.
