a little froggy

So Aden's doing great at spending time on his tummy, then sitting up on his own. He gets up on to his feet, almost doing the splits, then wham, right on his tush with a thump. He is also moving around a lot more, he gets on his tummy, and pushs his feet into a frog like position and lunges himself forward. He gets on his knees, but then doesn't know what to do. So he's going to do a little froggy hop to get around now. :) And he's into everything, we have a sleeping bag on the floor, since we have hardwoods, and he thinks it's great if he makes it off the sleeping bag, and heads to the movie rack. And he laughs the whole time he's heading over there, so then we know he's up to something. He also has his top 4 teeth now. He has been a bit crankier/fussy the last 2 days, and I took a peek and they just popped through!! Yeah, so he now has 6 teeth.

I hate that Tony has to work nights. I know it's whats best for us, but I miss him, and Aden too. I don't like that we can't have dinner together anymore, except 2 nites a week, if that. I'm miss paranoid, I don't like staying home alone, with just Aden and Chewy. We don't live in the best neighborhood but we dont live in the worst. It's so hard on a marraige not to be able to spend time together, just the 2 of us. I had a customer, tell me she would watch our baby for a few hours so we could go out, but it would be weird for the both of us. but she said she felt so convicted to talk to me and tell me that, that she started crying in my checkstand!! I can't belive that I would have a stranger offer to sit for us. Don't get me wrong, we have family that will watch him, but sometimes it just feels like it's a burden to them or to us. To have to ask someone to watch him for a couple hours, it's our baby not theres, and were not paying them. I just feel wierd about it. (I've been in a wierd mood lately and the little things are turning into big things and big matters, when they shouldn't. I think I'm being convicted about it.) The little things don't, and shouldn't matter, let them go, but for some reason I can't. So on a good note, in about a month Tony and I, with Aden, are going to go see my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, in Illinois!! My grandma has cancer, and she's doing chemo, radiation and everything else. And I want to make sure she meets Aden, before anything happens. And I wanted to spend time with her, someone is telling me I NEED to go. So we will spend a week with all of them. Then when we get back we will have Aden's first birthday, and then we will be off to Hawaii for a week, then all of the holidays after that. Wow so much is going to happen so fast!! All right, I'm off to bed.
