Baby boy is somehow 6 months tomorrow. The time is flying by somehow.... I guess working two jobs and juggling everything else does that. At today's appointment he stayed the same length (Ped guessed he was too wiggly to get an accurate assessment, but he's in the 90+ percentile still), is 17 1/4th pounds, and did really well with his four (yes, 4!!) shots.
I'll upload pictures once Blogspot lets me.

Aaron at 5 months
Big guy turned 5 months old almost 2 weeks ago, and he's up to over 17 pounds. I'm not sure how long he is, but he'll get weighed and measured on the 23rd of this month for his 6 month appointment. Where did the time go?
He still absolutely loves his big sister, and his eyes will follow her wherever she goes. She is the light of his little life. He's ticklish -- on the back of his neck, his belly, armpits, and under his chin. I love his little giggles. He still eats every 2-3 hours around the clock now but that's ok. He actually is still sick and wasn't eating that well, so I see it as a sign he's recovering
I am leaving in a few hours for a meeting in DC for 3 days -- my first extended time away from him. I'm heart-broken, but this is an important meeting too. Skype will be my lifeline.
Such great kids!

Emma's Haircut
We took the plunge! Emma has been asking to get her hair cut for a couple of weeks, starting for the first time when Aaron pulled her hair and then asking again when the wind would blow her hair into her face.
In order to make sure she really wanted it done, I bought a super-cheap doll with long hair and then the two of us proceeded to give the doll a haircut. She thought it was awesome, and still wanted to do it. So we talked and talked and talked it over, and I caved. She's never had the back of her hair cut since she was a baby.
We first took her to Cookie Cutters, which is a kid's haircut place, but they were booked with appointments and couldn't fit us in. The next place was too busy. At this point I was ready to give up, but we had built her up with anticipation and she really wanted it done, so we tried one last place. They could take her right away, so she hopped in the chair and did really well. She listened to the lady and never once fussed, and she LOVES her new hair. Absolutely loves it. And I love it too.
We only got 8 inches, which is too short for Locks of Love, but it was long enough for the Pantene donation, so we sent it off last week. She was excited to know her hair will help another person.
