Full Flavor!

Since the move and the wife's subsequent new job, we are forced to seek new daycare. Finding a new daycare provider is a serious drag. Luckily my productive and efficient wife is in charge of that so I can concentrate on various other endeavors.

This lady will provide full-time professional care in a structured and disciplined environment for the nominal fee of $85 and one carton of Doral Full Flavor 100's per week. Not too shabby... We are going to explore our options nonetheless.

We had steak and corn on the cob at Grammy Judy's place last nite. For whatever reason, his teeth are coming in in a very random pattern, his upper gumline goes gum, tooth, gum, tooth, gum. Despite having a less than ideal bite for the task, Henry liked the cob corn very much.


Henry had his one year check up last week. He is hovering at just over 20 pounds. He has dropped to the tenth percentile for weight. His height is at the sixtieth percentile. His new pediatrician has diagnosed him with acute and persistent awesomeness.

His hair is filling in rather nicely and has been described as both thick and luxurious. He is also developing a killer set of six pack abs.

Henry is a total freak for mandarin oranges. Grapes, too. And hummus toast.

You will have to come up with a good hillbilly name for him, maybe Hillbilly Hank. That's what you do when you have gaps in your teeth right?
I'm glad he is finally getting some though. Alison has a complete set now - all 16! I'm sure her 2-year molars will be in anytime.
We miss you guys. Good luck on the daycare hunt.

Oh yeah. That "acute and persistent awesomeness" can really stick around! ;-)

Good luck on the daycare search. Fingers crossed that you have as much luck as we did.

And don't mandarin oranges make for interesting diapers?

The diapers have gotten very interesting since he is off formula and on the grown up food. From a fecal standpoint, every day is a new adventure...

That woman looks totally responsible.....and beautiful! I'm sure she will do a fine job teaching Henry all the important things about adulthood like becoming a connoisseur of truck stop coffee, the proper, growth and care of moustaches as well as how to grab used smokes from honky-tonk ashtrays and skim the tobacco out to be hand rolled later. Henry will be set for his first day of grade school in Mississippi.
Good luck in the daycare hunt. I hope you guys all find something great!!
