Hi there!

Don't fall off your chair! I know...it's more than one post in a week. Might be a new record!
Henry had his first swimming lesson last night. A couple of things:
1. It's very hard to change when you are holding a slippery baby because he will not stand on the wet tile floor. (Bringing a stroller next week)
2. When a baby cries for the first half of their swimming lesson, ignore them. They will like it by the end.
3. Getting out of a pool with a slippery baby is as hard as getting in with a slippery baby. Maybe harder....
It was fun! But, I have no pictures since I was in the water and could not bring my digital camera with me. I got in a good workout walking around the pool with Henry! I might even take him to the pool and walk with him during free swim hours- it's great exercise if he will allow it...
And Jen, we would love for you to come and visit on the dates you gave me. Book the ticket, and get ready for the small town WI fun to begin!
Lots of love,
Marta

One MORE? YES!!!

Henry in the bath...There are cuter videos, but I can't see them before I post, so it's all a crapshoot until it is downloaded on here.

I hope you enjoy. Bathtime is a part of our nightly routine, and I love it.

He loves it too.

And just so you know I am serious...

Here is a better picture of Henry and I at the Parade. He looks a little pissed off, but I assure you he was having fun.

I'm even going to try to embed a VIDEO!

Ok, Ok, I've been busy.

Not a lot is new, and at the same time, it seems like everything is changing.

Do you ever feel like that?

It's officially spring, and I have not posted in FOR-EV-ER. (Thanks for pointing that out, Jen)

Here are some pictures.

Henry in one of our record snowfalls.

Henry with food on his face. (I love it when he gets all messy eating, and I don't know why. He loves feeding himself now, which is an improvement from giving him every spoonful when he doesn't really want it...)

How am I so lax about everything right now?

Henry's walking, and we are having a great time.

We went to the big St. Patrick's day parade, and that was fun, too. You can't see Henry's face, but he's loving it. (And yes, my jacket is on backwards, but it's the only way it would fit over the carrier on my back without squishing his little head.)

We remodeled our bathroom.

We went to meet our new little Nephew Peder for the first time.

Now, I just want to go somewhere warm and stick my feet in the

sand. Anyone want to send me some free tickets? Please do. Thanks.
