HIRO Update

All is well in Hiro land. We have been doing very well and Hiro continues to be a deliciously good baby. He is gained quite a lot of weight and we are guessing that he is around 11 pounds. He's grown out of all his newborn clothes and has moved on to 0-3 months. He is sleeping 5 to 6 hours a night and it makes a huge difference in our energy levels.

It snowed the last few days in November and we were housebound. Matt made it to work via the buses but otherwise we hunkered down and waited for it to blow over. Seattle School's closed down for 2 days because the road's turned into pure ice and no one here knows how to drive on them. It's a bit funny to me, growing up in Alaska the only reason the schools shut down was when it was negative 50! Crickey! We took a couple of pictures of baby in the snow but they did not turn out very good. Sorry Auntie Lis!

We are looking forward to Christmas! Auntie Lis, Uncle Eddie, Uncle Howie and Grandma Yvonne get here on the 22nd and the revelry will commence. When we get together we have the most FANTASTIC times and conversation, I can't wait. We (Echohawks) always go a little overboard on presents and we are trying to hold back. We will have lots of pictures and maybe video to put on the blog.

Take care everyone and Merry Christmas.
