Oh la la, mon petit chou!

Just because Grampa and Gramma White are in Europe and Granny Pereira is in Hawaii, it doesn't mean that Jack Henry can't have his own worldly adventure!

Today, it's France (La Madeleine) for JH... Tomorrow it may be another country such as Mexico (Los Cucos) or Vietnam (My Le) or Louisiana (Pappadeux).

Viva la France!

And now, a word from our sponsor...

Wonder no longer, ye fair gentlemen and ladies... new blog posts are starting to trickle on to this little mystery of the internets.

The well-to-do men at Google seemed to slow our little movement that is JHW by throwing an error when pictures were being loaded into Blogger. Sigh! This along with limited internet access led to many of the updates being temporarily shelved, which led to more attention being commanded by the Master Jack Henry, which led to this lovely excuse-filled note here.

Keeping praying for Jack Henry because he sure has been born to an, ahem, unique set of parents. God bless him! ;)

What is my mood today?

Jack Henry is growing, growing, growing these days and as a result, his moods are evolving as well.

Today (March 4th), Jack Henry's mood is: jazzed as today is his 1 month birthday!!!

~*~*~*~*~

Past moods have been:

March 3rd: stretchy since he likes to exercise his muscles and reach when he yawns.
March 1st: dressy since he was able to wear clothes for the first time.
February 29th: froggy since today is leap day!
February 24th: patchy because someone butchered my haircut to get a new scalp IV.
February 22nd: quacky because my Daddy says I sound like a duck when I get the hiccups!
February 20th: sneezy, but someone tickled his nose!
February 15th: sleepy and happy!

How much do I weigh today?

On a daily basis, at the beginning of the night shift (7PM to 7AM), the nurses weigh the babies in the NICU. For more precision, the weight is reported in grams, but the doctors and nurse practitioners are actually looking for weight trends over a rolling 7-day period.
