“That seems awfully big…”

Henry had his 2 month appointment yesterday, and the nurse had to weigh him twice to confirm a whopping 14 lbs 15 oz. He is so chunky, weighing 2 1/2 lbs more than Clara at this age. All else seems to be going well, and hopefully his reflux will improve after switching to PrevAcid yesterday. He had 3 shots and was extremely fussy the rest of the day. Mom watched the kids while Leon helped me arrange my classroom. I think she was more than happy to pass a crying Henry off by the time we got home! Clara went home with her and will return on Saturday. She has called us 5 times on my mom’s phone just to “talk” for a few minutes, usually asking, “Whatchoo doin?” It’s really quiet here without her, and we’re enjoying our alone time with Henry. Too bad this heat wave is really cramping our style. We can hardly do anything outdoors except one of us being out with Clara for short periods of time. We took her bowling last week for the first time. She made it 7 frames before showing signs of boredom–a breakthrough!

Leon & I are getting the home improvement bug again, contemplating a new refrigerator, as well as kitchen flooring and ceiling texture in the back half of the house. Are we crazy to do this with young children and me heading back to school in 2 weeks? As long as it’s not just Leon taking it all on, I think we will be okay. It’s a never-ending process at W.I.P.E. estates!
