Sleepy boys!

While I was pregnant with Henry, I always wondered what he would look like, who he would act more like, and which characterisitics of Matt and I he would have. This picture pretty much sums all of those questions up for me in one word: Matt...It was really difficult for me when Henry was first born because Matt didn't really seem all that interested in spending any amount of time with Henry. Sure he was excited to have a son and has always been a good dad. Only lately have I seen how much Matt truely loves his son. Now that Henry is becoming more interactive holding his head so well, laughing, and talking. Matt can't get enough time with his son. They are going to be two peas in a pod, and I can't wait to watch their relationship blossom. He'll always be my baby and run to me when he scraps his knee, but he's going to be a daddy's boy tinkering outside in the garage, hunting with the dogs, and "fixing" things are the house...watch out world, here comes Henry and Papa....

Picture of the day

This is the imfamous middle finger shot...I'm not quit sure what to think of the look on his face...

I couldn't resist this one. Henry has totally found his hands and is in heaven when they are near his mouth or better yet in his mouth. As soon as his flappers get to eye level, his brown eyes light up like hey there you are, where have you been, and they immediately gravitate towards his mouth. My view on this: hands are free and you don't lose them, so better than a pacifier. Henry was laying on the bed yesterday when I got home just going to town on his hands when all of sudden I am looking at my 3 month old son giving me the middle finger:)! Luckily he's so darn cute I couldn't get mad but rather grabbed my camera to capture the moment. Note to Henry, this is the first and last time you are getting away with that...

Henry's first attempt at lifting his head. What a ham for the camera!
Sleeping at grandma Kim's house in July. He's too big for that seat now.
Smiling for the first time at Auntie Lindsey.
Papa and the boy hanging out. Matt looks so happy!

I was going through some pictures tonight, and couldn't believe how much my little boy has grown in the last 3 months. I thought I would share his short but amazing journey through life.

Welcome!

Hello everyone...I decided to start a real blog because I realized that I was getting too old for Facebook when all of my friends have real jobs and at least one kid. It is also a great way to keep everyone up to date on our newest addition on a regular basis.

So where to start, well since this is the first post. I probably should start at the beginning. Matt and I have been married for 3 years on November 5th. We have two labradors. 2 1/2 year old Bailey aka "Leroy" is our laid back chocolate boy. Lucy aka "Psycho" is our 1 1/2 year old yellow female. She goes 100 miles an hour 100% of the time!

The newest member to our crew is Henry Marvin Schulte born on June 16th, 2008 weighing 8 lb 3 oz and was 21 inches long. He was 3 months last week as is now over 17 pounds and almost 25 inches long. You do the math...He didn't make it very long in the 0-6 month clothes. He's also the love of our lives and spoiled rotten by his grandma's and aunties....
