First entry 6/26/06

Hello! This is my first attempt at posting something on this blog thing. Jacie, after much coercing, convinced me that this was easy and I should do it so she can keep up with Henry (since she never visits me). So here I go!

Henry is 8 weeks old today and he's growing like a weed! He is tall and thin, and looks more and more like his daddy every day. He has his eat-poop-play-sleep routine down pat, although not yet sleeping through the night. We hope that will come within the next month. He is smiling and laughing, especially after he has enjoyed a nice meal. We have our 2-month appointment and first set of vaccines on July 6th, and we are also getting his hip checked by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon that day. At his 1-mo appt he had a left hip click so we want to make sure he doesn't have congenital hip dysplasia - but when I examine him the click is gone, and a senior ortho resident also examined him at a social event and said he was fine, so I am not worried.

I went back to work last week, and in the last 13 days of June, William and I will have been on call for 8 of them. We had our first babysitters and Henry didn't even notice. I am pumping milk like crazy, so we are keeping Henry full of the good stuff. We are going down to Tybee for July 1 and 2 and we can't wait! I know the world is excited to see this fab figure in a bikini. OK, maybe I should wear a tankini.

Enjoy the photos.
