1st sleep-over & 2 year check-up

Henry hanging out

 While his mom and dad took Anabelle with them on an out of town overnighter, Henry stayed with us.  We got a snack on the way to church. Went through a drive through for lunch. Napped and played with the cousins for hours before bedtime.

A nest bed for him and Monkey

 We took the cushions off of the loveseat in the family room and made a cozy bed in the corner of the den for Henry and his monkey. He had his own Gramma blankie and a sippy with water and he settled in and went to sleep.

Meanwhile on the other side of the room...

 Mr Garrett was a tossing and turning little dervish. He should have gone to sleep easily because he had just gotten out of the tub. We even bought him a new mattress for his bed. Perhaps it just felt different and that was the problem.  He was so tired that he was miserable. Poor guy. He finally fell asleep around 9:30.

Two year well baby check

 Garrett woke up around 6 this morning and had a 9:30 doctor's appointment. The late night and early morning caught up with him and he took a little nap on the way out to Beaverton.

He's 6oz shy of 30 lbs and is 34.25in tall. That means that one third of kids his age are heavier than he is and two thirds of them are taller. Though he is at the very top when it comes to head circumference. 

 We love his pediatrician.  She is so encouraging and upbeat. And I love her style!

Good patients get treats

On the way out there, I went through a Starbucks drive through and picked up a cake pop for him to have after his appointment.  He sat outside the clinic and enjoyed his yummy treat. What a boy!

They look like astronauts

Henry and Garrett were watching Blues Clues and I took a picture from above them. At OMSI there is a space capsule that you can sit in and pretend you are blasting off. A person sitting there looks just like this.  Laying on their back with their legs up in the air. 

These two cousins have so many contrasts.  Henry is thinner, taller and more lightly complected with fine blonde hair. Garrett is a stocky, tanned, coarse haired brunette.

But they both have brown eyes!

And both of them love their Gramma!

That is the best shared trait.
