Potporri ...

Here is just a quick update ... I haven't been in this blog for a while ... again.

Henry is growing like a weed and at a check up this week he weighed in at almost 18.5 lbs at 14 weeks - off the charts for length and weight. No surprise since all he does is eat, eat, eat! He has been giving us great smiles for the past couple of weeks and he is reaching for the toys in his baby rocking/bouncy chair. I will say he is stingy with the smiles and makes daddy work way too hard for them. He really doesn't spare a smile for mama, a sign that he will always have her wrapped around his finger.

Liana and Henry have been taking baths together ... her in the big tub and him in the little tub within the big tub. She gets a little rough with him but it's not too bad. We are constantly saying - don't touch his penis or don't touch his face.

Anyway, the best distraction for her is to tell her to show Henry how to do something, ("show Henry how to wash your face"). She started to embrace the role and dunked her head under water and said "watch this Henry!" Not exactly what we had in mind :-)

After Henry got out of his baby tubby the other night Liana climbed in and after a couple of minutes said "I'm going poopie". I immediately told her to stop and that we would go on the potty. I took her out, saw the little turd she left in the baby tubby and plopped her on the potty. She did her first pooh on the potty and it made a nice splash so I said "I heard a splash" and she echoed with a smile "I heard a splash, too!"

She did some pee-pee and poopie on the pottie the next day as well but after a shot at big girl underwear that got soaked with pee after 5 minutes.
