March Madness? Not so much.
Usually this time of year we are in full Sparty gear cheering on our Green & White. This just wasn't the year for the Spartans, nor the GT Yellow Jackets. So rather than sporting our MSU T-shirts and Tech tank tops, we are layering on the snowsuits and wool mittens, much to Mark's dismay. The snow isn't slowing us down though, we just returned from a week long visit in the States. Mark went to Las Vegas for a Home Depot convention and Henry and I visited friends and family in Michigan.
It appears Henry may skip crawling altogether and go straight to walking. While he does "creep" or "army crawl" to get where he needs to go he prefers to walk with a little assistance. He has also learned to wave "Bye-Bye", this was mastered during our morning routine waving to Daddy and watching him leave for work. This is usually followed by a series of "Da-da...Da-da...Da-da's" throughout the day. Usually the "Ma-ma's" come out when he is tired or hungry, but "Da-da" gets the smiles and laughing Henry. Go figure. A couple times he has muttered a "Ja-Ja" when he hears Jake barking or when he is trying to give him a toy. So darn cute.
We celebrated Mark's birthday at Buddy's pizzeria, a hometown favorite. Even though it was Mark's birthday, Henry was the star attraction. Auntie Liza was all smiles to get her "Henry fix."
We took Henry for his first haircut as his locks were getting a little unruly. He was very good for Nancy Ann, our long time friend and expert stylist, while she cleaned up his baby 'do'. He's as handsome as ever.

Hug your kid.
Many of you who read this blog know my Mom (aka Nana Myra). Mom has two best friends who are family without the blood relation. I don't typically do this, but one of them needs our prayers and thoughts right now. Their family tragically lost their 3 year old grandson in a drowning accident. Whether you're a new parent, a veteran parent, a grandparent, an auntie or an uncle, please take time today, tomorrow and every day to hug and kiss the kids in your life and remember just how special they are. And if you pray, please include this family in your prayers. If you don't pray that's cool too, just send them some love in whatever way you choose.
