Last week Henry had his 18-month check-up. This is the last one where he has to go every three months, which I suppose is a good thing for him (fewer shots) and us (less exorbitant parking fees). The past several visits to the doctor (both his regularly scheduled ones and when he was sick), Henry [...]
As Kristen and I have both written lately, Henry was eating everything in sight. Any foodstuff within arm’s reach was quickly gobbled up with a cry of “eat! eat! eat!” While that has subsided (he’s back to his standard meals and snacks), the outcome of the gorging has finally arrive. Henry’s clothes suddenly no longer [...]
So, I’ve been sick. Still am, in fact. It’s the sickest I’ve been since I can remember. On Saturday, I started to feel a bit out of sorts. Sunday, I was worse. By Sunday night, I was shivering and feverish, and I was worse Monday morning. I stayed home from work on Monday, of course. [...]
Yesterday I took Henry in for his 15-month physical. (I think that makes it about 243 times we’ve been to that office in the past 450 days, although I think that’s about standard nowadays.) Up until now, Henry has been okay with the whole experience. He happily plays with the doctor and the stethoscope and [...]
As you can see, I’ve changed the site a little bit. I’m going to be working on it for the rest of the weekend, so there may be times when things look even stranger. I liked the old look, but some people were having issues with the columns, and as much as I tried to [...]
We last left Henry on Thursday with a fever and grumpiness that only Ebenezer Scrooge could match. Friday morning, he seemed much better, so we left him with Super-Nanny Silvia and headed off to work. That is until early Friday afternoon when Silvia called to say that Henry’s fever had returned, this time to 103. [...]
For the past week, Henry has had a sniffle. Nothing bad, really. Just your standard baby snot. And then this morning he woke up with a temperature of more than 101, so gone went the mild cold and instead we got a little worried. Worried about swine flu, of course. We gave him some acetaminophen, [...]
One last post on our vacation. And this one has to do with one of Kristen’s favorite subjects. That would, of course, be bugs. I’m no fan of bugs, but if I see one crawling around the bathroom (the favorite haunt of the many legged ones), I’ll grab some toilet paper and go smooshing. If [...]
Today is Kristen’s birthday. (Happy birthday, darling.) We were planning on going out for dinner (with our downstairs neighbor Lillian looking after Henry), but plans changed when our little boy went and got himself sick. This morning, after waking up from his first nap, he threw up, and this afternoon, proving that the morning puke [...]
Yesterday was Henry’s 10-month birthday and my first Father’s Day. (We had donuts to celebrate.) Overall, it was a great day and weekend, somewhat dampened by the cold that Henry was fighting (and losing). Friday night his sniffles turned to an all-out mucus fest, and he spent most of the time moaning in his sleep. [...]
Henry is happiest when he's looking at or playing with or reading about cars and trucks and fire engines and bulldozers -- pretty much anything with wheels or that makes a loud, growly noise. This book has all that (and if you're a little nutty like me, you can add the sound effects).
