I have been such a terrible, neglectful blogger the last two weeks!  Please forgive me, dear readers.

Here's what we've been up to lately:

~Henry is up to 12 teeth.  This time last month, he had like 8 of them or something.  Lots of dirty diapers and fussiness has ensued.

~Henry likes to dance.  If he's laying on the changing table, and I sing to him, he wiggles his upper body.  If he's sitting in a grocery cart, and a song with a funky beat is playing over their speakers, he will wiggle his upper body, but he leaves his head in the same position.  It is so cute, and I laugh at him because I cannot help myself.  He does it when he is playing the keyboard, too.  By playing, I mean haphazardly banging keys.

~Henry has learned to say "No."  As of right now, he only says it when he really means it, like when I am putting him in his carseat or trying to bring him inside or get him to eat steamed carrots. 

~Henry is still nursing like crazy.  I have about decided to just let him nurse for as long as he wants to.  He obviously still needs it.  And on days when he won't eat anything but Froot Loops, it's comforting to know that my breast milk is giving him all those nutrients that aren't in Froot Loops.  Man cannot live on Froot Loops alone, but Henry tries to prove that wrong some days.

~John has been crazy busy with work because they are in an outage.  He has gotten calls numerous times in the middle of the night.  But never fear, it hasn't interfered with my sleep at all!  Apparently, when you become a mom, you can sleep through anything that doesn't involve your child.

~And me?  What have I been up to?  Well, I've been up to enjoying my little man.  This sounds crazy, but I really didn't enjoy the first 14 months of being a mommy.  Something happened (and I don't know what it was) at 14 months, but things have been much better.  I don't get as frustrated at Henry acting like a baby, since, you know, he is one after all.  I have tended to be calmer in all aspects of my life.  I don't know what it was, but I thank God it happened.  I kinda wish it had happened sooner, because then I would have enjoyed Henry even more than I do now.  Regardless, I'm glad the fog has lifted.  Ha ha, that phrase always reminds me of "the eagle has landed" and I don't really know why, because I don't think they mean the same thing at all.
