Aaron talking (with Charlie in the background)

As you can hear, Charlie likes to involve me in every imaginary scenario that his cars and trucks go through ("...right mommy"). It actually gets pretty maddening to have him address me like that for minutes (hours) on end, but he's cute and I think it's more habit than anything. When I respond with "yes Charlie" or engage him while he is doing that, he does it just as much, even more sometimes. Anyway, that was a happy baby Aaron after his cereal this afternoon. He stopped sleeping as great the past two days for some reason and we don't know why, but otherwise we are plugging along. Aaron has a cardiology appointment July 13th which is basically just that we have to see cardio for them to schedule the tests they need to do to rule out a vascular ring. Silly, but I'm sure it allows them to bill more for the insurance.

His breathing seems worse to me over the past two weeks and now, especially right after his bath when he's all excited and happy and moving like a little maniac, he has stridor too, which is a much noisier breathing and more concerning to me. We go see his regular pediatrician on thursday so he can check him out.

We are officially daddyless this week. Alex left early this morning (before I got home from work, thanks Jill for the overlap!) for Memphis for five days for work. He doesn't get back till sunday afternoon! One day down, so far so good. We are going to the beach this weekend because my cousin is in town with her kids and hubby and everyone is headed down to Dewey for some chaos and beach time. I might be really stupid to head down with both kids, Aaron really hates chaos and noise and anywhere but his own house, but I'm doing it anyway!

Talking to Cousin Tammy

Passed out after a long day!
