Germ X

The smell of Germ X will forever remind me of Azlynn's baby days. That was before I knew about all the crazy germs of the world but was still a cautious Mama who insisted that anyone who touched her have clean hands. My mom bought a half gallon bottle (it was huge!) that sat just inside my front door so that whoever came in could immediately sanitize. Our home smelled of Germ X all.the.time. and it will always remind me of the sweet baby girl I so adored.

5 months

...since I met my littlest one. He is currently still not rolling over except accidentally. Has tried green beans with a spoon as well as cereal. He is a fan of neither. Is smiley in the mornings which reminds me of his sister who was such a happy baby when she woke up. Weighs 13 lbs and 8 oz. Recently had to have a few breathing treatments due to a wheezy cough. Is reaching for objects but rarely can grasp them. And he loves his daddy. His brother is his biggest fan, I think.

stream of my life right now

-A couple weeks ago Owen was diagnosed with the flu at his 4 month check up. At the time he weighed 11 lbs, 15 oz. He has more than doubled his weight. Finally! He was also 25 1/2 inches. The boy is long.

-He rolled from his tummy to his back a few days ago.

-Friday night (3-4-11) we found his first tooth. It's the bottom left. So soon?

-Azlynn wants to join a baton class. She needs something to do for sure!

-I helped my step mom, who is pretty much a hoarder, clean 1 room and 1 bathroom in her house. Well, I actually did all the work. I jumped at the chance when she asked me if I would do it. I found, among other things, ashes of an uncle (yes, I am serious), a pistol in a sock and some silver. It was interesting and I am glad I got to do it.

-Evan is chugging along. I deep cleaned his room just the other day. It was horrible! Horrible. Gross. I found a sweet note to his teacher from him. He really is a sweet boy and I am so thankful.

-Last, but certainly not least. After a long time of trying to get pregnant, one of my best friends is finally going to be a Mommy. I am incredibly excited for her. I am just beside myself with joy for she and her husband. I know that they will be great parents and she will be an awesome Mama. I just can't wait to meet their little person. I plan on being there for her like she was for me- through thick and thin, rain or shine. Huge congratulations to them!!

That's all for now. I am pooped!
