So Much Going On

I don't even know where to begin, so much is happening:

Avrum is getting bigger by the second. I weighed him two days ago and he was 14lbs! He has literally doubled in size since birth. He is so into everything he can get his little hands on. Watch out Doggies, Avrum pulls ears, tails and fur. He absolutely loves to play with plastic bowls. He is getting attached to his blankie (a burp cloth). He pulls them over his face and thinks it is sooo funny. He is getting very close to sitting up on his own for more than a few seconds. Avrum loves when mommy sings the ABC's and the ABC Sounds. We also like to play A is for Alligator, B is for Bumblebee, C is for Cougar... I pick a subject and run with it. One day we did politics, that was challenging even for me. I had to mix it with government. I think he is going to be an early teether. He is drooling like crazy and chewing on everything. He is hungry all the time. We are probably going to have to start him on Cereal soon. He is still chewing/sucking his thumb but not as much as when I was at BSB. I have been nursing more often and longer each session and it seems to be helping.

Andrew is such a young man. He graduated from 6th Grade June 20th. His school had a whole Graduation Ceremony and everything. He received three major awards this year. First Place in his class for his Science Project and was featured at the District Office, Academic Achievement in his class (one boy and one girl were selected) and The Silver Award from the President of the United States! He also went on his first real group date. Georgeanne wanted to take him to Dave and Busters to celebrate and bring some friends. So he invited his BF Jake, his girlfriend Bailey K. and her BF Bailey R. So Alex drove and picked everyone (kids), they had their own table and Andrew got the girls cards for the video games and lunch. It was really cute.

As for me and Alex. Our 3 year anniversary is in two week. My mom is going to watch Avrum so we can go to dinner. I have been feeling a little low lately. But I am going to start jogging again, I am going to cut out the Starbucks because it is making me breakout like crazy. My hair is falling out in clumps. My friend told me this would happen and I didn't believe her. But it will grow back. Ha ha ha. It is all worth it. Alex finally agreed to having two more Babies!! So when Avrum is about 18 months-24 months we will start trying again and then when that baby is four or five we will try a third time. I will have my four Babies! Andrew, Avrum, #3 and #4. I hope we have another boy and then a girl. Alex has been surfing like crazily lately. It is good for him to get out and have that time to himself. I know he is feeling the strain from me not working.

We are going to Colorado for the 4th of July. Avrum is going to meet his Great-Grandparents!
