6 Months of Baby Henry

Dear Henry,
I don't think I've mentioned this yet but October 8th you'll be having a little surgery to repair eh, eh, a somewhat poor circumcision eh, eh and a little common problem you had at birth so you'll but ready to function in that area when you're ready to function... It isn't a big deal but last week

we went to your pre-surgery appointment to talk about what was gonna be. It made Mommy and Daddy very nervous and anxious to think about your little baby body being put under and going into surgery on a gurney, while you blissfully wrestled the bit of paper the nurse lays on the exam table like a crazy wolf boy. We feel really confident in the doctor so we know all will be good. Dr. gave you a weigh in and in the last two months you've gained 2lbs making you a whoppin' 16lbs 10oz. You do seem to love being put into that scale basket.

Just days later you had your regular check up and shots. You received a flu shot and seemed to handle it okay. In the couple of days you had put on 5 ounces, putting you in at 16lbs 15oz, in the 50% and your height was 26.5", 75%! You're making gains. You did show off a bit for each doctor by pushing your butt into the air and crawling across the table. There is no doubt that you're a strong one for just 6 months. You can view your first doctor's visits if you click here and here. Look how much you've grown!







I'm so grateful that you're healthy and doing well! Mommy is trying her hardest.

Love,
Mama

Lisa, it is so clear from your posts that you are trying hard....and SUCCEEDING. It really seems that your family - particularly your precious son - is thriving.

(How do you make time to keep up with things so well and write such thoughtful entries?)
