A little Henry update


Henry is doing pretty well - he has been a little fussy in the afternoon, so we are watching him closely to see if we think this is the reflux that we dealt with when Leo was a newborn. After being fussy yesterday afternoon from about 4-9pm, he slept peacefully the whole night with just one 2am feeding. On the recommendation of my OB, I'm going to buy some "Gripe Water" and give that a try during the next fussy episode. His little face is broken out in the newborn pimples, so I'll get some better pictures when that clears up.

Leo's Latest Activities



Leo is totally into jigsaw puzzles these days. He rediscovered some that he had received as Christmas gifts and worked them nonstop for several days - even though they had pieces missing. We went to the toy section at Target and couldn't find any with less than 24 pieces, and I was very doubtful that he could work one with that many pieces - but he surprised me and worked it in just a few minutes!
This is Leo's latest self-portrait from preschool. This is a big improvement over the squiggles I was shown at the first parent/teacher conference, and the first time I've seen him put something close to his name on his paper!

Great baby invention!


We love our new wrap! Much more comfortable than the Baby Bjorn style. I'm planning to use this for getting out of the car to take Leo to preschool, etc. instead of the heavy carseat baby carrier.

Our boys at 3 days old



Can you tell they're brothers?

Making Cookies






On Monday, Leo and I had a great time making chocolate chip cookies. His favorite part was putting in the chocolate chips - and snagging a few, of course.
