1 Year, 3 Weeks, 3 Days

Sorry for the mid-week hiatus. I almost didn't get a chance to post tonight but i'm using a few minutes before bed to catch everyone up. Henry continued his string of good naps and good sleeps. In addition to learning his colors along with the older kids at Ms. Brenda's, today they were working on the number one, as in Henry is 1 year old. I'm not sure he's gotten the concept yet but i think it's amazing that he's surrounded by so much fun learning this early on.

It's cold and rainy here and is supposed to be stuck in the same weather pattern for the next few days. This is great news for the patchmaster i put down outside but not so great for the cats or Henry who were starting to enjoy exploring outside.

We had friends over again last night and the grill continue to perform admirably. We also inspected the work we agreed to do on our condo before we close next Friday. Hopefully we're moving toward tying up all the loose ends.

At PT on Wednesday Henry had his best therapy session yet. He was well rested and happy and was really showing off his new skills. Amy was so pleased to see him really exploring and trying things that clearly take him out of his comfort zone. We saw pretty clearly that it's still his weak shoulders really holding him back. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth and even takes one or two shuffles forward and then his arms just crumble and he takes a face dive into the floor. It's not as painful as it sounds and it doesn't phase H at all, but we have to employ a number of tricks to get him to really use his arms and build that strength.
