Henry is following in his sister's footsteps in several ways and in others, blazing his own trail. He's just as chubby as she was and is already beginning to drool in the open-spigot-like fashion that Violet adopted. He has a big noggin and a fondness for wooden spoons but, unlike Violet, he mostly doesn't mind being awake and doesn't yet require drastic measures to help him fall asleep.
He had his first big round of immunizations yesterday and handled them like a champ. He was a tiny bit out of sorts yesterday but mostly it meant lots of extra sleep which, from a parent's perspective, is about as good as it gets. Antibodies against pertussis AND a full night's sleep!
Violet continues to be sweet with him, always making sure she gives him lots of goodnight kisses before she goes off to bed and often trying to comfort him when he cries. "I know, Henry, I know, I know."
Henry has also morphed from Huckleberry to Henry. I don't know if it's his size or awareness or what, exactly, but his slightly-bigger-person name has been getting more use around here these days. He's still not quite a Hal yet though.
