Sick little Henry

Our little babe has been sick, sick, sick. He had the norovirus last week and today he has pink eye. Poor guy. His eyes are all red and he's got a terribly runny nose. The good news is that he has hardly ever been sick before this, so I guess we should be grateful that this is his first real string of illnesses.

He had his 1 year appointment. He is 33" tall (97%) and weighed 25 lbs, 6 oz (80%). Everything checked out a-okay, which we continue to be grateful for. Now that he's one, we've cut down two daytime bottles, but he still has a morning bottle and an evening bottle before bed. We've also introduced whole milk during meal times, which he has either completely rejected or guzzled down depending on the day.

The only other *BIG* news is that Henry has officially taken his first steps! Nathan said he saw them last Friday, but I think I saw his first *real* balanced steps tonight. We've been playing "pass-the-Henry" between Daddy/Madeline on one end and Mommy on the other. Madeline is so proud of her little brother. It's pretty fun to all be excited about his first steps together. It'll be interesting to see how long before he ditches the crawl all together.

Hope all of you are keeping healthy and staying warm!
