no really i am alive....

Just wanted to check in with you all. Sorry I have not been on as much. I have been a little overwelmed with work, baby and wedding planning. Oh and trying to have a life someone in there.

My sweet charles is a tiny 9 month old now. he is currently banging a bottle on the coffee table and saying dadadada.... he is starting to take his first steps now. And when i sad tiny i mean tiny. He is currently right between the sizes of 3-6 mo and 6-9 mo.

My step father is doing much much better. I went and saw in april. his appearance has changed so much. He went from a hagrid look a like to looking very like mick fleetwood. But he is getting more and more himself as he progresses.

right when i gave birth and my stepfather came down with meningitius (ya i cant spell) my grandmother became ill and moved in with my mom. She is on her way out. they think 6 months, she keeps having storokes and has cancer. And she no longer wants treatments.

i know my poor mother huh?

and what i never posted here was my son's father and my fiance had his spine fused on st patricks day. That was fun.....

I also moved to a dif area of town in feb.

so yeah life got a little crazy for me.

so how is everyone?

Same boat. Still waiting for hip replacment. I'm usually pretty dopped up more and more on stronger and stronger painkillers.

Jealous of your little kid! Khan is 10 months, wearing 12 months clothes and has his grubby little hands in everything all the time. They say there is no such thing as perpetual motion...they have not met my son.

Glad your stepdad's doing well, sorry about your grandma. Your mom's had a rough few months too, huh?

Heh...I just got together with a bunch of college friends yesterday. My one friend's son will be a year next month. I don't know what size he wears but he's a big boy (he was 10 lb 5 oz at birth). Then again, his mother is 6 feet and his father is 6'3" I think. He's not even crawling yet but he'll sit and scooch across the floor by bending his knees out to the side and flapping them up and down. It's so funny to watch.

My other friend's daughter will be 4 in August. She was adopted from China and has some delays, and apparently is deficient in growth hormone. She is a good half-head shorter than my 2 of my other friends' sons who will both be 3 in July.

Yes my mother has had a very rough time. She is planning a vacation after her mother passes.....she has earned it.

and it makes sense that my son is small. I am only 5 feet tall. although his father is 5 feet 8 inches.

Charles looks just like my father who is 6 feet tall. so we will see what happens.
