I think Philip may have actually lost weight, just a few ounces, it that's possible. He's definately going through a growth spurt though. He's eating a frequently and vigorously every time. He's gained 2 oz in a month, but his head looks much bigger and I think he's longer. Oh well, I won't worry yet, his growth is supposed to plateau and I suspect he's also burning more calories with his extra movement and general growing.
I've been grieving a lot lately for Leslie. It's almost been 2 years since her death and I still miss her so much. I remember last year finding all the April mass shooting anniversaries troublesome, but I think I'm even more uspet this year. I get so angry to think about all that was stolen from me in just a few seconds. When I look at Philip, it's always a little bittersweet because I don't have Leslie to share him with. She would have had such fun being one of his aunties. I'm so frustrated that 10 years after Columbine we don't seem to be any better at preventing these kinds of shootings. Whether its a church or a community center, a school or a mall, you can never be certain what will happen. I often have people (esp. family members) ask me if I'm scared about moving to the Middle East and I can't help but think, well it's safer than KC. I mean really you need to embrace the opportunities that come to you in life, because you just don't know what will happen.
