Day XLIX -- 11

Today is a bit random.

The Roman numerals are getting a little out of control.

Recent update from the TX cousin -- Another boy will soon join Jack in the next generation of family. No name as of yet. Very exciting for all.

Talked to the 'rents in Ireland Sunday (while walking 18 miles). Things sound brilliant (to quote the Irish.) They spent the weekend with our family. This included going to an Irish dance festival and seeing the sites -- the family farm, the church where Mom's grandmother was baptized. I am sure it's been a very emotional and heartwarming experience. Wonder if they've remembered to take pictures?

Walked 18 Sunday. Walked 10 Monday. Still can feel my legs which is a good sign, I think.

Took Jack to the doctor Friday for his one-year checkout. He's doing well except he has fallen to the 25th percentile for weight. He's 21.5 pounds. The doctors a smidge concerned about this and wants us to put butter on everything he eats... and then mix in sour cream. He's very active and tall (75th percentile) and his head is quite large (98th percentile) so that may be why he's not gaining quickly. (Heavy head could be a real workout.) Husband of course laughed out loud at the the size of Jackie's noggin because it is indeed from my side.

Jack stood for about 30 seconds Monday until he noticed, giggled and fell. We are getting closer I think. I tried to get him to stand more -- and practive walking -- but he's just not interested.

Speaking of not interested, no nibbles on the homestead. Great!
