introducing

Cedar Tenhunen Henry
Born May 1, 2009 at 7:39 am
7 lbs 14 oz
20 1/2 inches long

Everything went really well & we are resting nicely. He looks a lot like his big brother, but still has a look of his own. He also has a birth mark or "stork bite" on his forehead that may or may not fade - only time will tell. He's been very mellow on his very first day & we are taking advantage of his sleepiness & resting as much as possible. Thanks to all for your prayers & well wishes. :)

*Some people have asked about the significance of the names we chose. Cedar is a name that we both agreed on - we just liked it...and Tenhunen is Kenton's mom's maiden name.





Sucking his thumb. :)

Thanks for letting me share in your joy with you today, guys!
Cedar is very sweet and I can't wait to get to spend more time with him.

Funny story: Jon told the kids I was going to see baby Cedar so when I came home, Macey asked me if she was going to get to see him, too. I said yes (thinking eventually). So, when I told her in a very excited tone tonight that we would be having pizza for dinner (thinking that she would be excited too) she instead said, "I want to see baby Cedar!" Then came the tears :(
So sweet!

Congratulations Henry family!!!
Love, the Greens
