5 Months old!
(Every month I put him in this 12 month onesie and take a picture of him on his rug)
What a big weekend at our house! (not really) Alexander turned 5 months old on Saturday! That is a big deal. He got to have a date night with Aunt Sara, while we had a night out. That is a huge deal! And one of our dogs turned 3! Not as big of a deal, but would have been a big deal before Alex! (poor dogs)
5 Months Old Already!
I can't think of anything that has changed since my last big update (last week), so I will save you from having to re-read all his stats. I am pretty sure he is really teething now. It seems like he has been for months now, but he must be now! He has been a little grumpy, which is not like him! He was so fussy on Saturday that we thought we were going to see a tooth that day. I also think he might have been bored. During the week he goes to work with me and has 3 girls to play with, and most weekends we are so busy that we are going all day. Well, Friday night and Saturday we didn't go anywhere, and I don't think he likes to be home all day! Silly boy! On top of that we had a lot of cleaning to catch up on, so he was left to play alone, which he doesn't mind, but not for long periods of time.
He was much happier when his Aunt Sara showed up! Later Uncle Joe came to help watch Alex and he really liked having both of them over. Saturday night was only the second time in 5 months that we have left Alex to go out. It is hard for me to do, but I am working on it. I was a little uneasy about it, until we got to the mall and into our movie. I started to feel better, but checked my phone during the whole movie. After the movie we went to see some friends. It felt really nice to be out at first, but after saying hi to everyone I was ready to go home to Alex. The best way I can explain it, is what I was telling Joe. When I think about leaving Alex it feels like I can't breath. He feels like such a part of me that I feel like I am not whole when he is not near by. I think back to the over night scrapbook party that I went to, and I don't know how I did it! I guess it's a little different leaving him with his dad! That must be how I did it.
Sadly, this is causing a little problem this weekend! My sister's bachelorate party is this weekend, and it is an over night party about 3 hours north of where we live. I want to go, and it sounds like fun, but there is no way I can leave Alex for that long, and be that far away from him! I could have a panic attack just thinking about it! I think some of this comes from a point that I touched on in the last post. We do not have a finalized adoption, and the thought of loosing Alex makes me want to really take in every second that we have him. If we were to not finalize our adoption I would hate to look back at the nights that I could have been with Alex, but I was not. Everyone says that I should not even worry about it, because we are not going to have Alex taken from us, but no one can say that for 100% until it's finalized! I just hope that this feeling goes away after we finalize, or I might just be crazy! lol
So, that was our weekend. We saw A Nightmare on Elm Street*, it was good, but not as good as the original. I hope to have more date nights soon.
