Triumph in the Face of Adversity: Henry's Battle with the Pink Eye

We really need to get more use out of his fringe vest before he becomes too massive for it. Henry is capable of producing some exquisite images for the camera. In addition to the photos you see here, the lady who took his 'black and white artistic baby photos' insisted on using one of her photos of H-Town for a business card, marking the beginning of his tenure as the unofficial spokesmodel for Dominique Nelson Photography. Likely, her business will now explode. The little guy is doing her a service.

This is basically the same picture as the one above but he is pooping. Every parent knows this face.

Henry has overcome his first major illness. He was battling the pink eye this past week. Sometimes he cries a little bit when we do his eye drops and that is no fun. But he has shown the kind of bravery and grit in the face of adversity one might expect from a gentleman of his stock.

While Henry has not yet learned how to press the button on the monkey truck, he has truly begun to master his exer-saucer. Displays of cunning dexterity have become a nightly ritual.

In this photo, Henry takes brief pause to admire the suede fringe on his vest. Noting its unusual color and texture, he later tries to eat the vest unsuccessfully.
