On July 17, 2010 at 4:,31pm Henry Ward Beecher Smith V (Quincy) was born! He weighed 6lb, 3oz and was 19in. long. It's been an entire month since
we've updated the blog...life has been busy.
Brand New!
Quincy has had lots of family visitors since his birth...all 3 of his grandparents (Ol'Pa, GC, and Ma Barb) & Kayla arrived just before the birth, then on Sunday, his Uncle Chris, Aunt Vee, and cousins Christal and Sack came to visit.
Monday 7/19/10 before leaving the hospital
On Monday, the 19th we went home from the hospital, it was surreal as we were driving off from the hospital, Quad and I had envisioned this moment for quite some time and now it was real...it wasn't just us in the car...Quincy was there too!
Leaving the Hospital
My first car ride..on the way home
Even more family members have been to visit since we've been home...Uncle Alan, Aunt Erin, Kalin, Aunt Margaret, Kelton, Uncle Jr., Uncle Kevie and of course Ol'Pa, GC, Ma Barb and Kayla have been back again. Quincy is truly loved!
Quincy is growing and changing each day. At his 2 week doctor's appointment, he weighed 6lb, 10oz...I can't weight to see how large he'll be at his 8 week appt. His favorite activities include sitting in his bouncy car, napping in his floor nanny, and the newest addition..his swing. The swing is his favorite!
Napping in my Floor Nanny
My swing!
At 1 month, he can lift up his head during tummy time and turn it from side to side. He can also take his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in all by himself! He tries to suck his thumb, but he promised his Aunt Erin (dentist) that he wouldn't. He also enjoys listening to his parents read him books, singing songs, and looking at himself in the mirror. He always seems to point his pointer fingers up, I'm not sure what that's all about...maybe he's just saying that he's Mommy and Daddy's #1.
Ready for bed!
Hanging out with Mommy!
Today's my 1 mo. old bday! I celebrated with my Daddy is my Hero onesie.
Yay! Congrats again mommy and daddy! Can't wait to meet him and of course, I'm bringing my camera!
ReplyDeleteQuad and Keisha,
ReplyDeleteQuincy is precious! Technology is wonderful. He's changed so much since the hopsital phone picutre Hank sent me. I understand that Quincy has VIGs (very important grandparents) visiting this weekend. I got a good laugh talking with Cheryl as they drove toward you. They're loving being grandparens..as if you didn't know that. You are blessed with a beautiful boy, and I know you're great parents.
