Henry is
my 13 mo old son. He was born on December 31, 2002. His original due
date was Jan 21, 2003. So if you think about it, he was alive in 2002,
2003, and 2004! even though he is only 1 years old. I love you Henry!
He was born into this world a healthy 7 lbs 6 oz. When I first saw him
I cried and marvelled at his perfectness ! I couldn't belive he was
finally here and he was mine. Every night for 3 months he slept in my
arms on the sofa in the living room. After that we moved upstairs to
the bedroom. I had a co- sleeper attached to the bed that I tried to
put him in to sleep. Alas, the only place he would sleep was in my arms



. I would just hold him and look at his perfect little face. And smell
his fresh downy little head. The buttery baby smell of him would relax
me and make me forget about my own tiredness. I love you Henry! After a
while he slept next to me on the bed, always reaching out to see if I
was still there. His little dimpled hand touching my face and holding
my hair....... I love you Henry! When he nurses he always reaches up
and holds my hair. Now that he is older , when I carry him around the
house he pats his beloved " deekies" and smiles his toothy grin..... I
love you Henry! Toddler nursing is always a challenge! Especially in
public. Henry is an acrobat nurser. He wiggles , turns upside down,
pops off and pokes me and lifts my shirt up and down. His laughs are
like little bells..... I love you Henry! He is my precious little boy!
I could not imagine life without him. I am looking forward to the rest
of his LIFE. And seeing what kind of person he will become. No Matter
where the road takes him. I will always remember the bond we share. And
I will see his cherubic little boy face in my heart! Because .........I
Love you Henry!
