Enzo woke up bright and early and despite starting to develop some terrible diaper rash to go with his terrible GI problem, he was in a pretty chipper mood. He snuggled with mommy for awhile then we went to the grocery store to beat the crowds. Whole Foods at 730 am is definitely NOT a nightmare...we plan to do that more often. Enzo seemed to eat more this morning than he has in the last week, so we were happy to see that. We hung out at home, took a walk, watched some whales and sharks, and Enzo took a nap until he was awakened prematurely by the sound of a honking car.

We baked Christmas cookies after his nap - star shaped ones and special whale - shaped ones for Enzo. He had fun - too much fun - putting sprinkles on his whale cookies. He sat in wonder at the table after they were out of the oven, saying "wow" "many" "yum".

We took a walk to see out old friends the ducks - we saw many coots and not so many ducks. We got home in time to get dinner together, and had dinner with Katie, Luke, and the Pfleegers. All the kids had fun playing with the train set and with Enzo's playhouse. As Luke left he gave Enzo a very sweet hug and kiss.

Enzo is overall doing a bit better but still seems very small a lot of the time. We used to take his overall good health for granted, but we never will again. We are really looking forward to seeing him 100%, hopefully very soon.
