Always on His Mind
This weekend finishes what has been a crazy, yet completely enjoyable week. Kevin's family came to visit and Aubrey got to hang out with Grandma, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Eric, Abby and Aidan. And yes, we fit everyone in our house! Aubrey and Aidan are only 17 days apart in age but given their size difference, you might think it was 17 weeks. I thought Aidan had the upper hand when he started poking Aubrey and pulling her hair, but our girl started to defend herself and do some hair pulling of her own. She also managed to steal a toy or two! The week went by too fast and ended with Kevin going out of town for a couple of days to Chicago with Tom Rossi for a conference.Only one other time since Aubrey had been born has Kevin been away from her overnight... and I think it is killing him. He wanted to make sure that I gave her enough kisses while he was away and he reminded me that he checks on Aubrey TWO times before he goes to bed and not just one. Then when he got to the airport he called to tell me that a safety pin that was in the cuff of his pants (to keep them from dragging on the ground... and yes he does have clothes that fit) fell out somewhere between home and the airport. He wanted to make sure I examined the carpet before I put Aubrey down to play.
I think about Aubrey every minute of the day, it's just the nature of being a mom. I think about how she is eating, how long she slept, are her teeth (she has two by the way!) bothering her... and sometimes I wonder if dads think about their kids as much and moms do. I don't know about all dads, but I know our little girl is never far from her daddy's mind.
