Happy leap day!

Just a couple of snaps to post when we were changing out Jack Henry's bed.



He has been progressing well and is now considered Level 2 status, even though the doctors and nurses are cool with letting us remain in a Level 3 pod. This provides us the benefit of getting the 2 babies to 1 nurse ratio in Level 3 rather than going to 4-to-1 in Level 2.

Consequently, Jack Henry's bed was switched out partly because the warming system was not working properly and he was ready to move into a bed that does pop the lid for instant access (useful in cases of intibation or other invasive procedures). The equipment here at Memorial Hermann is top notch. I can't imagine going any place else as we have been very spoiled.

I personally blame the medical staff for our spoiling - yes, Dr. Ursula, Nurse Ashley, Nurse Amy, Nurse Kelli, Nurse Ashley (there are a lot of y'all), Nurse Erin, amongst many others. I sleep much better at night knowing that I don't have to take responsibility for you spoiling us!

Like Great Grandfather, like Grandfather, like Father, like Son

As Elaine pointed out to me and as you can see for yourself, there are strong genetics in the family.

Let's just say that the men of the White Family like to sleep and it seems that we get a whee-bit slack-jawed if this sleep occurs in a rather upright position.

Fortunately, there has been no documentation of bugs or other critters taking up refuge in our wide-open mouths, but just in case, I say "what does a bit of protein hurt?".

Oh, and for my brothers, I know that I don't have proof of your own doozings (other than Jack's faux attempt a couple of summers back), but I'm sure that your susceptible to this look as well. :)

As Jack Henry matures, we'll see if he picks up any other questionable habits of our clan - or we can start connecting his similarities to Elaine's family!

So feel free to comment below on family traits that you expect Jack Henry to have, such as being an Aggie.
