We had a nice walk in the morning. Grandpa joined us on the walk. Grammy came in the afternoon, while I went to school. I had extra office hours today, because there's a lab paper due on Monday. Two students showed up. As usual, it is the students who know what they are doing who come to office hours; they just needed some validation that they are on the right track, which they were. The SBS tech guys came for my laptop. But I had problems backing up the data, so they are going to pick it up Monday. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a backup done. I went to a talk on negative advertising in Latin America, which was held by the political science department.
While I was out and about, Grammy had Henry do some tummy time. Jeff said that Henry was looking really good. He's almost holding his head at a 90 degree angle to his body. And Jeff said he didn't hear him screaming in protest, which is nice.
At some point in the day, Jeff told me that Henry had been staring at his hand. He had been grabbing one of his toys. Staring at hands is a good thing. Another step in his development.
When I came home, Henry and Jeff had already gone out to take the dogs for a walk. I managed to find them. Evonne and Hal love seeing Henry. The new hat is a hit!
We gave Henry a bath tonight. He doesn't seem to mind bathes, which is great. He even was OK with washing his "hair." I think that he enjoyed having the cannula off his face for a little while. The duoderm was looking pretty shabby, so we decided it was time for a complete change. Jeff lights up when Henry has all of the tubes off his face (see picture to left of text). It is fun walking around with him when the tubes are off. We finally weighed him tonight: 12 lbs 9.5 ozs.After the bath, I nursed Henry for a while on the couch. He fell asleep soundly. Jeff just put him to bed in the crib.
