Easter

9 Months

Henry had his 9 month check-up today. We combined his visit with David's post-hospital follow-up visit, which will get its own post in due time. Just wanted to update the blog with Henry's stats:

Weight: 17 lbs and 4.3 oz (10th percentile)
Length: 27 3/4 inches (25th percentile)
Head 18 1/2 (75th percentile)

Summary - Skinny with a big head. We will take that!

Tee-ball

David had his first T-ball game last night. It was actually his team's second game, but he missed the first one due to his pnemonia stint. We were so excited that he was feeling better and able to play last night. He had a lot of fun and his team is pretty good. They don't keep score although you can get "out" if the team can throw, not run, the ball to first base...which didn't happen during this game. Everyone gets to play and go up to bat and they play for an hour - which for this age group equals about 1 to 2 innings. Even though they don't keep score, our team kind of kicked butt. They were way better than the other team. I think it might be because they have such a great coach!!

Here are the pictures (by the way- David is No. 12):

 

We went to dinner after to celebrate his first game:

 

Henry enjoyed the game as well. There are 4 sisters of players all between 6 and 8 that LOVED Henry. They made a circle and took turns telling him how cute he was- which he thought was pretty cool. It was a good thing they were there as well, because I got stuck at work and was late (just a few minutes) getting to the game. When I got there, he was just giggling at all the ladies fighting for his attention.  

 

He spent the rest of time eating grass- which he also thought was pretty cool.

 

Oh yeah - And this happen this morning. Parent of the Year!!

Play Pens

Now that Henry is pulling up on everything, we had to lower the play pen base. He use to love it when it was at the bassinet level because he could see everything.  Now that it is a play pen - it is a torture device intended to trap him and he hates it:

Apparently, such reaction is genetic because here is David around the same age:

Sick Sick Kiddo

Last Friday, David woke up with a cough and a fever..so, we kept him home from school. His illness seemed to get worse on Saturday (although it still just seemed like a minor cold) until late in the evening after he went bed. Pretty quickly, it seemed as if he could not breath. So, I rushed him to the after hours ER clinic and found out he had pneumonia. They confirmed with the radiologist the next day that he also had a lot of bronchial swelling - which was further impairing his breathing and causing pain.  He got two shots (of which he was not a fan) and we got sent home with a machine for breathing treatments and more antibiotics. It has been a rough week. He continues to need breathing treatments every few hours, has been in lots of pain and has been coughing non-stop. He seems to be starting to turn the corner, but recovery is slow.

On a sad note, because he has been so sick, David missed his very first T-ball game. Since Matt is the coach, he attended and said the team did great. I am hoping that David is better by next week so he can play.


At the ER visit (yes, I grabbed him out of bed..so we just went in PJs)

Follow-up visit with Dr. Brown

 

 

Henry, on the other hand, has been great. It is driving him nuts that David can't play with him! Look at these teeth:
