Lordy is it ever dumping down today. It's hard to believe that official winter is still 3 weeks away, because we're getting hammered with cold and snow. Environment Canada is predicting this year will be the coldest winter in 15 years, so this could just be the start of a long, long season. Prepare yourselves for a good 6 months of weather-related bitching from yours truly.
Tom's brother, Jonathan, is visiting from California, and what a nice taste of a true Canadian winter he's getting. He's supposed to fly out this afternoon, but we're not sure his flight will actually make it. Anyway, the visit was short but fun. Henry loved having Uncle Jon here, and was very happy to escort him through the Dinosaur Museum. Jon and Tom took Henry sledding yesterday, an activity Henry has finally come around to enjoying (before now he only liked pulling his sled, not riding in it). We even went out for dinner with the whole crew and managed to eat a meal without either child having a meltdown.
In other news, Dexter is now 4 months old! He had his checkup on Friday. The kid weighs in at 15.5 pounds and is 26.5 inches long. He's a bit smaller than Henry was at this age, but still on the big side. I think he's in teething mode so he's been a bit grumpier than usual, but still cute as hell and mellow most days. We're also having some success getting him to nap alone in his cradle. This is huge for us because Henry never, ever napped in his crib. Dexter doesn't stay asleep for very long on his own (usually about an hour) and prefers to spend his nights curled up beside me, but it's a start. I'm hoping that we can move him into his own crib in his own room around the 6 month mark. Then we would only have Henry, a.k.a. the night stalker, to deal with. But I never get my hopes up when it comes to that kid's sleeping habits, or lack thereof. . .
