Travis should leave town more often! Just kidding, of course...but man, have I been productive tonight since Harry went to bed! I did some cleaning that doesn't get done very often (I even cleaned out the microwave!) and I am currently getting a head start on the laundry. I must be really bored. While Travis is out in LA, eating nice meals in the warm weather, I am home cleaning out the microwave. Hmmm, that should at least qualify me for a nice present, don't you think?? We have survived the first 24 hour period on our own with no major catastrophes. I worked today and Katrina had him for that period of time, so we'll see how it goes when it is just me and him for the next 2 days. The hardest times are still with diaper changes and getting the pj's on. He throws the biggest fit for some reason. We are recovered from our illnesses for the most part. I had almost completely lost my voice Sunday through Tuesday, but it is almost back at full strength. Harry seems much better too, but I am still having him sleep with a humidifier in his room at night because I think it helped a lot. He is back to wolfing down bottles and food again, so I am very happy about that. It stinks when your kid isn't eating or drinking very much when you know that they need to get a lot of fluids at least! Thanks for the good vibes! 
No, Mommy, I definitely did NOT get this out of the cabinet.
One good thing that has come about lately is that Harry is less obsessed with the dogs' food bowls and water (although he did manage to sneak in a piece today). However he has finally realized that he can get in the cabinets and does so constantly. I plan to get locks this weekend and hopefully con Dad into installing them for me. I kind of hate to because it is pretty cute how he does it. He usually opens it up, pulls out one item (like in the picture above), and closes the door. Sometimes he even opens it back up and replaces the thing he took out! I don't want him to hurt himself though, and it is kinda driving me crazy standing in the kitchen constantly while he explores what is behind every single door.
We are getting a little more adventurous with table food. This past week he had refried beans and rice at El Rodeo, yogurt, toast, mandarin oranges (loved those), and a big hit...grilled cheese! I wasn't sure if he would like it because everything I think he is going to like he doesn't. But it went over really well. I think that is what he will have for lunch tomorrow!
Yum, yum...grilled cheese!
We had a few really great days of weather here this week! It felt so good to get out without a coat and take some walks! Oscar and Callie were soooo excited to get out of the house! We even walked one day to the playground in the neighborhood and put Harry in the baby swing for a few minutes. He didn't seem too excited, but he was still pretty sick at that point so he might not have been very into it. Sadly, the good weather is over for now. It was pretty cold and rainy all day today. I am thankful, though, for the awesome weather we did have for a few days! It helped a lot with getting the winter blues feeling out of all of our systems!
Happy Birthday on Saturday, Nana! We wish we could spend it with you, but we'll see you in a few weeks! Also, Go Boilers in the NCAA tournament!! We love March Madness time around here!
