January Birthdays

Each of us is a year older now.

Nádya and I each got to mark the turning of the new year by also celebrating our birthdays. While it was my intent to get you told about each celebration separately, something came up, and I couldn't. Okay, that isn't really true; I forgot. Now I really do feel older.

There are a lot more photos at our photo web album, including pictures of the awesome guitar cake my mother-in-law made for me with help from my wonderful wife. And, of course, lots of pictures of both kids.

Hendrick celebrated four months on the 22nd

Hendrick turned four months on the 22nd. At his checkup a couple of days later, he was 9 kilograms, and 68 centimeters (19.8 lbs, 26.77 inches). When the nurse weighed him, she did a double-take, and ended up weighing him again. Yes, he is that big.

For comparison, Kylie was 7.5 kilograms at five months. See also, Kylie at Four Months.

Stay tuned for information about our return to the US. We think we are getting close, just want to be sure all the pieces are in place before the plane takes off.
