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.

merry christmas, everyone. i spent my first christmas with my mama, papa, lolo and lola. on christmas eve, we went to a party at the sorias' house. the sorias—lola evelyn, auntie marlu, uncle andy and uncle steven—are part of our extended family, who have celebrated many holidays with my mama over the years. by the time we got there, it was kind of late, so i napped most of the night, occasionally waking up to laughter. we spent the night at lolo and lola's house. on christmas morning, the five of us went to mass, and afterward, we went back to lolo and lola's, where we opened gifts. i got the most presents—from santa and everyone else. so far, my favorite is a toy that auntie marybeth sent. it's a stuffed animal with a string attached that you pull to play a lullaby. i like pulling the string (with my papa's help) and holding the whole thing in my hands. there are a lot of other toys i can't wait to play with and clothes i can't wait to wear. thank you, everyone. and thank you, too, santa, whoever you are!
