Toddlers really DO eat!

There is much to update on since our last post. Primarily...HENRI IS EATING! For those who have never had a baby that won't eat, you couldn't possibly understand the toil and stress Josh and I have been under trying to help Henri overcome his aversion to food. Now, let's not get carried away here...by eating, I simply mean he is eating more consistently at therapy, at school, and for his Dad. He is also starting to have glimpses of greatness when I feed him which is the biggest accomplishment yet. Henri is starting to eat more fruits and vegetables and is initiating the meals with enthusiasm. WE are so proud of how hard Henri has worked, but understand this...if it were not for Sensory Solutions and his therapists Laura and Sheree...we would still be lost. I am so grateful for these two women Simply put, another day at the office for them has changed our lives forever...namely Henri's.

Henri is also stepping up as a big brother a little bit more now...starting to love on Graham and be a bit more sensitive to his needs. Henri took Graham to the zoo for the first time every yesterday and told him everything he knows about all the animals...it was great to get out with both the boys in some sunlight.

Graham certainly has news of his own! He is coming into his own...and QUICKLY. That boy is getting huge..and is a lot to lug around! A select few of you will understand how exciting that is. Graham goes for his four month check up on Monday and we are anxiously awaiting his numbers on the scale. He is working hard in the bumbo seat and is very close to holding his head up. This baby is one of the happies I have ever seen. He loves to talk and anytime he looks at Henri he smiles. He giggles like a big boy and brings all three of us so much joy. He is starting to grab at toys and is on the cusp of starting to whip up on Henri.

We are looking forward to a trip home in mid April to do the March of Dimes walk for Henri...we are going to do it as a family. Look for more updates soon. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
