80 Weeks Old!



Henry's appetite seems to be improving, at least a bit. We've stopped overnight nursing which is such a relief for me. Since Friday, Brett has been spending the nights with Henry, putting him back to sleep if (or when) he wakes up during the night. This way Henry doesn't expect to nurse and he goes back to sleep much easier than if it was me trying to put him back to sleep. Other than one night when Henry was a newborn and we went away for the night, these are the first nights in 18+ months that I've slept through the night. Strangely, I haven't been sleeping all that well...maybe I'm used to waking up 3 or 4 times a night. But Henry is definitely getting more rest; I can tell because he is now getting up around 7:45 instead of 8:30 or 9.
Grandpa Rex got Henry the basketball hoop in the picture last week. Henry loves it. He has come up with his own version of "Horse" in which he runs to a spot in the dining room and points for Brett or I to come there and shoot. Once we shoot, he grabs the ball, runs to another spot, points and waits for us to shoot from there.
PS If you've seen the YouTube video, then you know why his collar is popped. Hee hee hee.
