"A Chubster"

Breast feeding has continued to be very painful for Sharon. We're optimistic and hopeful that the help we're getting (insert medical info about toungue/lip ties) will make the process much more tolerable, but if not there's always bottle feeding. Sharon has become more vocal about her discomfort. I was holding Henry as she explained "...it would be like me jamming an ice pick into my..." I carried Henry into the next room cause I didn't think he needed to hear that.
Despite the pain Henry is getting plenty to eat (his mom is a soldier!) He's gained a pound since last week and the lactation consultant said he drank 4 oz while feeding at their appointment. Sharon said he's gonna be quite the chubster. If he's like his 2 cousins, he will be.

Henry made his first trip to a restaurant when we met Pappy & KK at Famous Dave's. He didn't eat any ribs, but I think it's cause he slept the whole time.
Our Uncle Chris and Aunt Bev (Beverly) are in town visiting from OH. They stopped in for the afternoon and got to see their newest family member.

Henry enjoyed being held by them both, and was especially fond of Bev. I think he appreciated her sense of humor (understanding my dry sarcasm that is) as much as I do.
