Ahhhh, the love. Alex is now showing signs of jealousy. I know, the picture would indicate more that Alex smells (look at Audrey's face!). He does love her but he thinks that maybe she should stay away for an extended period of time. He hasn't verbalized that yet, but you can tell he is thinking it.

Alex was sick last week. Very sick. A temperature of 104.4 degrees sick. Ever since then he has been very clingy with me. I do like it. I really love it. I just wish that I had more time to indulge it. My mom says that we now know what he will be like sick - a wimp. I guess he takes after me. His dad is not a wimp when he is sick. But I probably shouldn't admit to this.

Alex now fake cries. It is funny. And when something touches him he says "Ow". A little dramatic. He has the memory of an elephant - to his grandparents chagrin. They can no longer tease him about spending the night or buying him a $200 Thomas the Tank Engine train table (Mom?!). He is getting bigger day by day and smarter with every second. Oh, and he loves pretzels.

Audrey is getting big, too. She is in the 75% for height and weight. Alex was always in the 20%. She is beautiful though. I dislike that fact that I do not have the one on one time with her that I had with Alex. I feel so torn because I want to pay attention to her and to Alex too. It is hard. She doesn't seem any worse for the wear. I must be doing something right because she is growing like a weed. Oh, it may only be feeding her but I am doing it right.

Audrey slept through the night for the first time May 6, 2006!!!! Sweet. And since then she has done pretty well. Wednesday night she was up until 3am but I think she did not like the medicine she had to take.

Audrey smiles all of the time. I love it. It is the best thing. Since Alex did not smile until he was older this is a new experience for me. A lot of things are different between the two. Audrey slobbers, chews on her hands, talks, smiles, eats like a small horse, and makes very manly sounds. Alex may have eaten like a small horse and made some manly sounds but not with the regularity that Audrey does. Not a fun thing when you are on the phone with some company from Vermont - trust me.

Well, it is 11:58 pm EST and Audrey is still up. I am off to try and coax her to sleep. Nursing definitely has its advantages.
