Gaga Googoo

So we're safely out of the holiday zone and back to reality, whatever that means these days. Henry decided to wake up at 6am this morning which is a mere hour and a half earlier than usual, grrr. But we're dressed out of bed and I thought I would catch up with everyone while he plays with his new collection of toys. I can officially say that last weekend I reached my limit and achieved the status of burnt out. As some of you may already know, the Eichorst family comes from a long line of Tshirt vendors (well just a couple generations) but when the work arises, we're there. It's usually decent money, fun people watching and sometimes even a chance to spend quality family time. Anyway, this weekend I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Rosemont Theatre selling Lady Gaga merchandise to glitter covered, spandex wearing, stiletto stomping men and women, talk about people watching! Luckily John and I were able to work together on Saturday and Henry was able to spend Friday with his Grandma and Grandpa Eichorst and Saturday with his Grandma Polanek, he's one lucky guy (and so are we!). Needless to say, I worked a few long hard days of work and following my previous sleep deprived schedule, I made it pretty easy for myself to catch a cold and I did. Boo! So now I'm at war with this cold and fighting it with a regimen of zinc and vitamin C, I'll let you know who wins.

In other news, Henry is doing great. He's growing like crazy and trying to do so many new things at once. You can check out the big improvements he's making on his dialect in the video below. No crawling or scooting, but he is spending a lot more time on his belly playing with toys which is something he would previously avoid at all cost. We're going to be laying low the next week or so and then Henry will be going to our cousin Nina's wedding! I see lots of fun ahead for the Polanek family!!
