84 Weeks Old





How long am I going to keep naming posts "x weeks old"? I figure at least until 100...but then I may as well go to 104 - two years. :) Every Thursday when I write these I think about the Thursday morning when he was born. Well, I guess he wasn't born until the evening, but I went to the hospital in the morning, so I think about the morning. Since then, it's been a blur. Hee hee hee.

Henry is talking, talking, talking! Of course a lot of it only Brett and I can understand, but it's still so cool to hear. I'm trying to think of some of the new words he's been saying lately, but for some reason none are coming to mind at the moment.

Tomorrow he has an appointment with an allergist to see if he has any food allergies that might be disrupting how he eats. He's had a few allergic reactions to something; definitely need to make sure he doesn't have a severe reaction and also maybe we need to change his diet to encourage him to eat more. We're still struggling with the amount of food he eats, even with his teeth being fixed. It's quite frustrating. He's the 2 bite king. He'll try just about anything. For two or three bites. Then he's done. Pudding, ice cream, ANYTHING - he only wants a couple bites of it.
We've been going to the Multnomah County library storytimes quite frequently lately. I've found that Henry really enjoys the 2-3 year old storytime much more than the 1-2 year old one...although he does still like that one as well. Here in the pictures you can see that he has no problem getting up there even though he is one of the smaller kiddos. He is waiting to get his stamp at the end of class in the top picture and then examining it in the bottom one...the librarian here is AWESOME....she stamps their bellies too. :) She takes her time with each child and gives each one individual attention. She makes them say "please" before she stamps them - which Henry signs - it's so cute! (Look at his darling denim jacket Gigi gave him in the very first picture!)
