The NC Zoo
We decided that if we would drive eight hours to Cincinnati to go to the zoo, we might as well drive and hour and a half to the NC Zoo. The weather was in the eighties and quite sunny. We walked over five miles and were all pretty pooped by the end, but a great trip and we joined the zoo so we plan to go again soon. Henry loved it - especially the new playground. My favorite part was the RJ Reynolds Aviary (always get a charge out of the irony there). Enjoy the pics - and go to the Zoo!
Cincinnati or Bust!
Well, the Stinehelfer gang went up to Cincinnati for Danny's Spring Break - yes, not your typical Spring Break destination, but what can we say. We're not your typical Spring Breakers. We got to visit with Aunt Susan, Great Uncle Dennis and Tim, Great-great Aunt Joan and Uncle Jim, and our friends the DeAngelos. We saw a lot of Cincy sights - the zoo, the Children's Museum and the Natural Science museum, Graeter's ice cream shoppe, a Gymboree outlet, and several bars to watch ACC ballgames.

Miss 25th Percentile
Well, Claudia and Henry are very different babies in many ways. One of them is their girth. Claudia has gained two pounds since her first doctor's appointment - she is now 8.4 and 20 1/2 inches, so that is terrific and lands her in the 25th percentile for weight (Henry was 98th). So, essentially, Claudia now weighs and measures what Henry did at birth. The doctor was impressed with her progress and even thought she might be tracking already. Anyway, a good report from the doctor today. Go baby girl!

Henry-isms
Well, Henry is doing a good job adjusting to being a big brother and no longer an only child. We have been getting a kick out of hearing him learn new words and phrases. Some of the new Henry-isms are:
Yummy kisses - somehow Henry and I were talking about a book that he has called Yummy and Yucky (which educates kids not to eat worms, soap, etc) and when he gave Claudia a kiss afterwards we said yummy kisses and now he says it almost everytime he kisses her - awww, so cute!
Buy some - this is less cute but we can see he is beginning to understand our capitalistic society. This morning for breakfast he asked for bacon and ice cream. We usually don't serve him ice cream for breakfast, but he keeps asking. We did not have any bacon to fix for breakfast so we told him we were out, all gone. To which he said - buy some. We weren't sure this was what he said but he confirmed that it was. Buy some Mommy. Aww - a sign of things to come?!?

Claudia Days 12-15
I have a streak going on right now - since Claudia's birth I've taken at least one digital picture every day - and you, faithful reader, have been subjected to many of them. So far she's still sleeping like a champ, as you'll see in some shots. Tonight is my first post in 2 weeks, but I've unloaded a flurry of them that should keep you busy... enjoy!
Henry's new hobbies
Henry got a birdfeeder from his Gram for his birthday and loves watching the birds... he also is quite fond of retrieving the milk himself from the fridge
Claudia Day 10
I know what you're thinking - what about Days 7-9????
Sorry, I'm just a bad parent I guess...
