Alex is sick :(

Alex is sick again. He's had a few fevers and some vomiting over the weekend which put us at a med check on Sunday night. He is now on a z pac and steroids and doing much better! Just a pic with Alex and one of his "boy cousins" he loves so much (it's from a few weeks ago...not when he's sick) ...he LOVES to ride on the golf cart!

Ready? Set....Go!

Alex's first official word is "go!". He actually said it a few weeks ago but I have yet to blog about it. He has said other words but nothing consistently. His vocabulary that he understands is HUGE. He is now completing 3 step tasks..."go to the kitchen, get a pen and bring it back". He amazes me more and more everyday! He has started doing puzzles well and also learned how to turn on my very expensive washer and dryer....how long will they last???

Waves of grief.

I've always known that grief comes in waves. It comes in the wave of walking though the girls section of clothing and knowing there is no point in looking. It's coming in seeing a double stroller with a set twins. I feel it in the instant the oven buzzer goes off and just for a second I think it's Lauren's alarms before I reorient myself. Time is the greatest healer of all. I just need more time.
