That's What it's All about!

I just told Brant I updated my Blog with a video of Hank in the sled. He got upset and said I should have put the video of him and Hank on the four-wheeler. "That's what it's all about. Go and put that video on." I guess now he is the producer of my Blog. Anyhow to make him happy here it is. Also the County Executive just called and told us to stay off the roads. Maryland is in a state of emergency. I told Brant he is not allowed to go four wheeling - you don't want to know what he had to say to that!

Mush Daddy!

Birthdays, Blizzards, & Boots.

Today is my Birthday, and it is not often that we get snow on my birthday. The last time I remember was 1995, I think. Well we are in the midst of a Blizzard, or at least a possible Blizzard. So far there is about a foot of snow on the ground.
We had fun this morning going out and playing in it. Yesterday Hank and I went to several places looking for Boots, but could not find any. Brant's Mom was in the Shrewsbury Walmart and found a pair of Spiderman boots in Hank's size. She also got him some cowboy / work boots. Brant met her last night and picked them up from her so we would have them this weekend for the big snow. Hank has a love of shoes and boots. He is always carrying his and ours around. He also brings me mine and puts them on me. Yesterday when we were in the Doctor's office he was walking around and went up and touched the Doctor's shoe. I told Brant he might be a shoe salesman. Brant says a Cobbler! I'll quote old Abe Lincoln and say: "Whatever you are be a Good One."

Shop Til You Drop!

Today I took the day off because Hank had his 15 month check up. He did well at the Doctors, even though he had to get three needles. He is 27.2 lbs and 32 1/2 inches. He is still in the 90th percentile for his height and in the 80 - 85th percentile for weight. He continues to eat very well and loves everything. Some of his new words are socks, which he always takes off as soon as he can. He says hot and blows on his food and now says Ho Ho, for Santa.
He also says night night and outside. He knows everything we say to him and is a total Ham now.

After his appointment today he went to Target with me and fell asleep in the cart. We ended up going on other errands also and ate lunch at Uno's with Brant, who was also off today. He was such a good boy and did so well. At the grocery store we tried on a Santa hat. He really liked that Ho Ho hat, so I bought it for him!
We were in there stocking up for the BIG snow storm that we are supposed to get this weekend.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

Today we are getting our first snow of the season. A good day to relax and put up Christmas decorations. Later we will go outside and let Hank play!

Sick but no loss of Appetite.

Hank has his second cold. It started sometime during Saturday night and has consisted of a runny nose. He is handling it well with no changes in his playing or appetite. He LOVES to eat. Some of his current favorites are Goldfish crackers, green beans, cantaloupe, apples, bananas, or nanners as he calls them. He also enjoys chicken nuggets. cheese and bread. This is a photo from tonight as he was getting ready to eat his alphabet tator tots - notice how they spell Hank!

The Countdown Begins.

Can you believe it's December?
Here is a photo from last December, when Hank was a little baby sitting on Santa's lap. He was so good and laughed at Santa, who tickled him with his beard. I am wondering how he will react this year - maybe by grabbing that beard!
