Henry is 18 months old!

Henry is officially 18 months old now. He had his check up yesterday. He is 33 inches tall (70th percentile) and 25 lbs. 14 0z. That is only 50th percentile for weight. He had been consistently at the 60 - 65th percentile before. The doctor said she was not too worried though since he had been sick recently.

The purists among you may be saying to yourselves, "but wait, today is the 14th, and Henry was born on the 9th day of the month". You are of course correct. It has been a very busy week. Plus, he's a second child. What do you expect?

I submitted a manuscript today to Science, which is the most prestigious scientific journal in the world. I'm not exaggerating either! If I had to guess, I'd say it won't be reviewed even, much less accepted, but hey, you gotta try. Somebody is publishing there, right?

Tomorrow morning we leave early for the first leg of our vacation trip to WV and FL! See everyone soon.
