2 Days in a Row!!

Second day in a row. I wouldn't get too excited yet though!

Abram went to the doctor today for his 6 month check up. He's 7 months, but we couldn't do his 4 month until he was 5, and they just waited 2 months for this appointment. No biggie. What is big though is my son. Biggie Smalls as Bern calls him. He weighs 22 pounds 3 ounces. But that's also with a diaper and his clothes on. He is also 28 3/4 inches long. He's in the 90% for his weight and 80% for his height. His height has been pretty consistent every time, but I guess he's finally growing into his weight or something, because normally he's in the 95%, but not today! Today he was in the 90%!!!! Must be all that crawling he's been doing. Speaking of crawling, who really wishes for their kids to get mobile? All he does now is get into trouble. He's knocked over the dog water more than once and gotten into the dog food a bunch of times. He's even managed to eat some of the dog food! A pretty big downfall to him crawling is that he might end up a little mentally challenged because he falls and hits his poor head so much!!! He's got a pretty hard head though. Not only is it solid, but he's stubborn too. Sooo stubborn. I don't know why I'm surprised. That's the trend in this family. Husbands, dogs, why not kids?! It's not all bad to have him crawling though. I have to chase after him more, so that means some exercise! I can always use that. And it's really cute to see him get excited over something and haul ass across the room to get it. It just means he's growing up, and so fast too! I never really had time with him as a little baby, he hit so many milestones so fast and grew even faster! I can't even believe he's 7 months old. He's closer to a year than birth, as Bern has said. Crazy! Something that just won't go away though are these damn ear infections! We found out at the doctor today that he has a pretty bad one in his left ear and the beginning of one in his right ear. These are his third for each ear. I had them like crazy when I was younger. I ended up having 3 sets of tubes put in because of them. I predict the same fate for this little boy. Poor thing.

But moving on to something pretty serious. My name is Christina, and I'm an addict. I'm addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper. I didn't have any at my house today and I really wanted some on our way back from the doctor, but Abram was sleeping, so I went to Arby's drive-thru and got 2 huge cups of it. I had planned to save one, but junkies don't save, and now I'm already almost done with the second cup. Do they have rehab for this kind of thing?
