Adrien never ceases to amaze me.
About two weeks ago, I was astonished to hear him call All Aboard! while playing with his trains. I realize, of course, that others probably don’t see the significance in this. But to me, it was the world.
I was even more astounded yesterday when we were watching Noggin. They always have these “picture puzzle” things between shows and they had a big picture with a ton of shapes hidden in it. The point was to find all the squares within the picture. Adrien walked straight up to the TV and pointed them ALL out. He knows what a square is! Once again, I realize the significance may be lost to others…
And then today. I came into the living room from just having been checking email for about two minutes prior. I found him spraying a bottle of aerosol sunscreen onto his hand and licking it off.
Never ceases to amaze me.

We got downtown at 8 or something and the parade didn’t even start until 10. It was worth it though! Once the parade started, I forgot how cold I was. Did I mention Jude slept through the entire thing? Ya. Marching bands and all. And we were front and center. I wish he would sleep that deep all the time.
Jude’s been sleeping horribly the past few weeks. At first I thought it was his stomach with solids. So I’d cut out solid foods and he was still crying through the night. I can tell he’s been in pain, so I finally took him into the doctor to see what was wrong. I was fearing an ear infection in his left ear, and I was right. I’ve been frustrated about finding a new doctor here in Tyler because I was so happy with our doc back in Dallas. I managed to find an osteopathic pediatrician at a local clinic not too far from our house and I was trying to remain optimistic. She looked nice in her More >
