Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Introduction to One-Year-Old Style

On June 25, 2008, at 30 weeks gestation, we welcomed our three Lees in a pod to our family. Piper was born at 12:36 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 2 ounces, Henry followed at 12:37 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 15 ounces, and Rosemary showed up last at 12:37 p.m. weighing 1 pound 14 ounces. On August 2, 2008, Piper came home from the NICU at what would have been 35 weeks and 3 days of gestation weighing 4 pounds 15 ounces. On August 7, 2008, Henry followed and came home at what would have been 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation weighing 6 pounds. Finally, on August 16, 2008, at what would have been 37 weeks and 3 days gestation, Rosemary came home weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces. On August 10, 2010, at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation, we welcomed Penelope to our family. She was born at 12:35 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 14.8 ounces. On August 13, 2010, she and her mama came home from the hospital on the same day, with Penelope weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces.

Introduction to One-Year-Old Style

When we got Henry dressed on Sunday morning, his collar was popped. Henry likes it that way, and thinks he looks cool. Gary hates a popped collar, but I thought it was cute (excuse the bananas on his shirt from breakfast):

I told Gary that we just needed to let Henry express himself through his clothing if that's what he wanted to do. Henry did seem to think that he looked particularly good that morning and really struck a few poses for the camera. . . .

But I will admit that I am not a fan of the saggy pants look he was sporting along with his popped collar.

P.S. These pictures are the first ones I've taken with the camera on manual setting and using a flash. Until now, I've just been too scared to even try it, but I really think these turned out okay. I used my pop-up flash instead of my external flash because I decided to try flash at the last minute, but I think I'm ready to try a little with my external flash now.
