Henry fell in love with Marie's cat Marley on Christmas day. He chased her all around the house, at one time Marley was on a chair and Henry was under the table not letting her down. Marley would play games with him. She would get almost close enough for Henry to get then she would run away. Henry would go screaming and running after her. He had so much fun with Marley there maybe a kitten in his future. Outside only though! I suppose we could start off with a cat and eventually get a dog. Cat's are a lot less work. Or we could just visit Marley! So we will see.
We had a very nice Christmas. Henry did not really care about opening the presents. I think we ended opening most of them for him! He tried but did not get the hang of it. He enjoyed playing with his presents, and as you can see loved his tricycle he figured out how to get on really quick. He is still a little short but in no time he will have no problem with it. After opening presents and a nap for both Henry and Mommy(yes I had to work Christmas eve). We went to J-net and George's house for some yummy dinner and fun with their new WII. I may have flunked out on the hula hoop game but I was the ski jump queen ;') And we finished the night off with a wild game of pit. Thank you J-net and George for a most yummy dinner and an afternoon of fun and family. Hope everyone had a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.
Look at all the presents!
This must be for me!
Do you have a licence to drive that?
Finally we are over the fever! Friday night was the last night of fever. I called the doctor on Friday because Henry still had a fever and had broke out in a rash on his belly and back which looked just like when he had Roseola about two months ago. After talking to the doctor it sounded like he probably had Roseola again, so yes Debbie you can get it more than once and it is some kind of virus. So the fever is gone but Henry has a nasty cough and runny nose and diarrhea all day today. So not only did the shots kick his butt but mine also. I don't know how many times a night I was woke up all week with his coughing or crying because he was burning up. We are working on getting him better for our trip to Ohio next week. Can't wait to see everyone ;')
Henry had his 15th month check up this Monday. He got two shots and has had a fever since Monday night it seems as though shots kick his butt. He just lays around pretty much. He also has got a nasty cough now. I called the doctor and they said his fever could last up too 72 hours. Hoping it goes away soon. It must be miserable for him.
His stats from his appointment are:
Weight 23# 13oz (25th percentile)
Height 30 3/4 in (50th percentile)
Tonight we had Granny and Uncle Samson over for Christmas dinner. We had a yummy steak dinner. Ok don't be jealous you Northerners but we had a Christmas dinner picnic. It was a beautiful evening we had dinner out on the patio. Richard had built a fire in the fire pot and we sat at the picnic table and had a nice dinner. Try that in Ohio!
Henry & Granny
Tonight we went to get Henry's stitches out. We had gone to Mayo to get his stitches so since I know all the doctors in the ER the doctor that put them in said to just bring him up and one of them would take them out for us. I do have to say it was much easier getting them out. Thanks Dr Graham you did a very good job Henry did not cry at all. As you can see it looks pretty good not to bad of a scar.
Today we went with Corey and Logan to see Santa. As you can see Henry had no problem with Santa he went right up to him, not afraid at all. Which is what I had expected it seems as though Henry knows no strangers which I guess can be a good and bad thing at he same time. Not sure what he told Santa he wanted though.
Here is Henry checking out the tree for the first time. I put it up while he was sleeping so when he got up he came out and just stared at it. He has been very good with it and dose not mess with it at all. I do have to admit it is kinda a Charlie Brown looking tree but works great in my small house. I thought I was going to get a real tree this year but glad I didn't I kinda really like it even if it is a Charlie Brown tree. Thanks Mom ;0)This a first I would like to think I would not have to blog about again, but with a clumsy mama and a daredevil daddy I have a feeling there may be another post like this in the future. Though I will keep my fingers crossed and hope it dose not happen.
Tonight was our first trip to the ER. Yes that is right the ER! As you can see in the pictures Henry had to get three stitches rite in the middle of his forehead. We went to Aunt Marie's for dinner. Dinner was great, after dinner we had a good time taking pictures of Henry for Christmas and then we were just visiting while Henry was playing. All the sudden I heard Henry screaming I ran into the room and picked him up and saw blood running down his face. He had fell and hit his head on a end table leg. Uncle Bill looked at it and said he needed stitches, so off the ER we went. Henry did a very good job he only cried when they numbed it and while they snitched it. After that it did not seem to bother him at all.
OH NO! Look at that BOO BOO ;.(
More BOO BOOs ;.(
