working together at Trader Joe's...

santa, baby....

Poor Henry! Too sad to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas. But Luke was a champ--just walked right up and told Santa he would like some dinosaurs and a ramp for cars and told him Merry Christmas!

15 month check-up...

I apologize for my lack of recent postings. We have been out of town over thanksgiving and then when we returned, Sam's father has been ill and we have been in and out of town to Nashville as well.

So to return, I wanted to update you on Mr Henry's latest checkup results. He is right on track developmentally with his walking and starting to run, esp after brother. He is similar to his brother, in that he does not have a lot to say yet, but he can say a few words, such as Mama, Dada, here, ball, eat, and something I am pretty sure is brother, but sounds more like "brud-da"!! He is also getting to the great age where he is starting to assert his independence, which we have seen a bit, especially when eating something he is not particularly fond of. Also, Henry has really become interested in puzzles and having books read to him (who does that remind you of?) Here are his stats:

Length 32 in--85% percentile
Weight 23lb 7.5 oz--35% percentile

So still very tall and skinny. He is about 3/4 inch and 1 full pound behind Luke at this age. Only 2 shots this trip, so not too traumatic, but between the 2 regular flu shots and the 2 H1N1 flu shots (thankfully not for sick visits--we have been pretty healthy this winter), he knows the pediatrician's office and starts to cry as soon as we step in and especially when he sees the nurse! She is the bad guy!

I promise I will update the blog with the Thanksgiving pictures very soon! Thanks for your patience!
