Ridiculous

By ridiculous, I mean this outfit is ridiculously awesome. It is my most unreasonable clothing purchase for him so far, but certainly one of my favorites. Nick had asked me to get him some church clothes. This counts, right? I bent or broke some of my own baby-dressing rules, but he just looks so adorable in this outfit.

Laughing Place

I found what makes Henry laugh: oink like a pig and he thinks it's hysterical.

Nick is taking his Step 2 board exam right now. He's been very diligent studying. The stress has had me at a breaking point, so I'm very glad that he's taken it. However, I still won't have him back- he leaves in the morning for a general surgery interview in Chicago. Once he gets back from that, I may actually see him.

My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma

The title is a reference to a bumper sticker.

I was on my way to meet my friend Natalie and her little, cute, two-week-old Baby M. While waiting for the stop light at McCausland and Southwest, I spotted a cute little beagle wandering around unsupervised at the 7-Eleven. I decided I couldn't just leave the dog there because I would just worry the rest of the day if she were safe. I pulled into the 7-Eleven, called the vet's number on her tag and her owner picked her up ten minutes later. It was a pretty easy fix, but I felt as if I had done a good deed today.

I need good dog karma. Caesar is a know bolter- he'll always run away given the opportunity. So in thanks to the multiple people who in the past have called to say "I found your dog," I helped little Ruby the Beagle make it home today. I'm hoping it will help build up good karma for any future running away he will do.

So Ruby and her owner were reunited, and I was soon at lunch with this little gem. (See picture above) So tiny and so sweet. It's true that you can't believe how fast they change.

New Toy and Teeth

Jo Ellen sent Henry the Fisher Price Play and Learn Learning House. He doesn't know exactly how awesome it is yet, but he loves it.

A rare sighting of his bottom two teeth.
He has now cut an upper tooth.
