Weekly Update for 104 weeks!!

Yes, 104 weeks...that means Henry is two - tomorrow! I can't believe it! In many ways it seems like just a month or two ago that he was a newborn baby...in other ways, it definitely does feel like two years! I don't have the time or the energy right now to write a long, reflective entry about the last two years - so I will have to leave it at that for now.

We took Henry in to Penney's to get his 2 year photos taken today. Wow, he is definitely going into the terrible twos. He was so unco-operative that I didn't think we'd get any good photos. But, in fact, the photographer did manage to get a number of great ones - so stay tuned for those, they'll be ready in about a week.

More Food Photos

We discovered food that Henry loves....sauerkraut. No video this time, just a couple pictures. (Also, he's wearing his sweatbands on his arms because he was just playing hoops!)

On top - Henry showing off his mouthful of sauerkraut.

On bottom - reaching into the strainer to get the kraut.

Feeling Better

Ahh...the wonders of antibiotics! Henry, who has been on them the longest, is most definitely improved. He's got his pep back in his step and is his happy self once again. The difference in his mood is amazing. I took him to his regular storytime this week (we've been so cooped up in the house for so long, plus he's been on his meds for 4 days, so I figured it'd be alright). Here is a short video of him participating in the bop 'til you drop segment of class...hilarious! And a picture of my sweet boy with his smiley face.

Sick...once again

A plague has visited our house. Henry has either bronchitis or pneumonia (or possibly both) - a chest x-ray would determine for certain, but the doctor decided to just prescribe antibiotics. Brett has a bad case of bronchitis and is on antibiotics and an inhaler. I have a touch of walking pneumonia in one lung and a sinus infection and am on antibiotics. The good news is that the antibiotics seem to be working for Henry already (taken 4 doses) because he has totally perked up...and gone wild...which is not a ton of fun for me and Brett since we're still feeling sick. Thank goodness for Gigi who has spent a bunch of evenings over here helping with dinner, bath and bedtime. Now that Brett and I have started our medicines, I'm sure we'll be perking up soon ourselves.

Finally...an update!

Subtitled: Tennis anyone?

We are all still in the midst of a horrible cold. Hopefully we're on the mend, but from what I've heard from other people that have had this, it can last a long time.

Henry's obsession with all things sports continues. I got him a little used racket from Play it again Sports and he is now completely enthralled with practicing his tennis swing. He has been watching tennis on television and has decided that the sound the players make when hitting the ball is obviously an integral part of the swing - thusly, you can hear his grunts with every swing. Pretty hilarious.

Weekly Update

Oh boy, I am so sick right now. We all are...therefore, that will have to be the update for now. Sorry!

Henry's Favorite Snack

Butter!!
Fair warning: Brett gets disgusted watching Henry eat butter...so beware if you have a sensitive stomach too!

I truly do not let him eat butter like this all the time, but he loves it so much that I do let him every now and then. Here's a still picture as well in case the video has problems again.
