More Feats & Coins

Things here have been going well. Meg and I continue to be impressed by Henry and his skills. We have continued his Ferberization and it seems to be working well. So far only the first night was bad. The three nights after the first he didn't even wake up. Naps aren't as good, but he does seem to be able to put himself to sleep in under ten minutes. If this keeps working I'm definitely going to have to recommend Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems by Richard Ferber, M.D. Meg got the book for the library and read it for us.

There have been four other development worth mentioning. On Wednesday Henry had his first meat product and began his life as an omnivore. He ate some beef. Today Meg is making him fruity chicken with squash. I hope he likes it as there are multiple servings being made. On Friday we took Henry out to our favorite Indian restaurant. He did well there and for the first time sat in a high chair at a restaurant. Yesterday at a graduation party for my cousin Henry had his first opportunity to try out a swing set using a baby swing. He loved it. We might try to take him to the park today. Lastly, since last week I've been noticing more improvements in his standing ability. Every time he gets himself up to a standing position it just seems like a miracle to me and today I saw him take multiple steps forward while I held his hands. Soon he'll be able to run after his cousin Liam. I know he wants to do so.

I searched some coin last night.

6,002 halves, six boxes and two from a teller's tray, produced nine 90% silver halves (1939, 1941D, 1942D, 1944, 1963D, 1964(4)), twenty-one 40% silver halves (1966(3), 1967(6), 1968D(5), 1969D(7)), one proof half (1973S), and one Panama ½ Balboa (worth 50¢). One Walker, one Franklin, and a bunch of clad halves were chrome plated. Strange how one would chrome plate a silver coin. As always it was good to find a new coin for my album, the 1941D, and get a new foreign coin.



5,000 dimes turned up just one silver Rosie (1964).

Found: 1 dime (at Papa Gino's)
