i was born on august 21, 2009 at 3:40pm. i weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces and measured 21 inches. my mama had a hunch i’d be big, but not that big! • i was named after the great men in my family: henry is the name of my great-great-grandfather, henry wexner sr., my grand-uncle, henry wexner jr., and my uncle henry. thomas is the name of my lolo, tomas castro, and my uncle tom-tom. • i live in a crooked old house in los angeles with my mama & papa, who love me like mad.

today i got moved out of NICU and into my mama's room, where she and my papa have been staying for the past two days. i kept trying to tell the hospital staff i didn't belong in the NICU—i even made some of the nurses cranky because i kept on pulling out my IVs—and finally they paid attention to my cues.

shortly after i got to the room, our first visitors arrived: lola lita, lolo mon and uncle john paul. i was so touched that they came all the way out to burbank to see little ol' me!
later in the day, i got circumcised. mama & papa were proud of me because the nurse said i didn't cry one bit. guess i'm one tough cookie.
