Pictures of Henry!

Okay, I promised some new Henry pictures, so here they are... I have several more, but these are all I have time to post right now! Henry still isn't "crawling" yet per se, but he is definitely very mobile. He has also discovered how to sit up and pull up in his crib, so nap time isn't going so well these days... Also, I'm not sure if you have noticed or not, but he was blessed with his mommy's wonderful "elf" ears. I'm sure he will thank me for that later in life.

I'm a slacker

Okay, well, so much for the weekly update idea... I promise to try and do better! Life is a little hectic right now. We submitted our final rank list for residencies on February 25 and we now are just waiting patiently (or impatiently) for Match Day to approach on March 19. We get more and more nervous every day...

Now for a Henry update! Henry has begun to be mobile, although he is not yet fully mobile. He gets on his hands and knees quite frequently and wants to move sooooo bad. Yet, when he does get his arms and legs going, he ends up crawling backwards... yes, backwards. And then it makes him very mad because he doesn't want to go backwards. Oh well, he'll figure it out soon enough. He is also pulling up on everything and loves to "walk" along the couch or whatever else he may be holding on to. I think he is still a long way from walking on his own, partially because he has so much weight to carry! :) I'm not sure how much he weighs, but he has his 9 month appointment at the pediatrician next week so we will find out. His very favorite thing in the world is to eat so he is definitely not lacking in the weight department! I promise to post some new pictures and maybe even some videos very soon...

I'm going to try this out...

So, I've been encouraged by several people to try out this whole blogging thing. Given that my family is going through quite an exciting time right now, I figured the least I can do is give it a shot. So here goes...

This is my first post. Henry is now 7 1/2 months old and probably the cutest baby boy I've ever seen. I promise I'm not biased or anything. Chuck is currently interviewing for medical residencies in orthopedic surgery and will graduate from medical school in May! He has interviewed at UAMS, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, University of Missouri at Kansas City, Medical College of Georgia (in Augusta), Atlanta Medical Center, University of Florida at Jacksonville, University of South Florida (in Tampa), University of Louisville, and UT Chattanooga. We will find out on March 19 where he will match and where we will potentially be moving!

If I can just maintain a one post per week record, then this will be a success... Fat chance, considering the most recent family picture I have uploaded on our computer is from Thanksgiving...

And by the way, our 5th wedding anniversary is tomorrow!! :)
