Feeling left out

Do you ever have those days? Those days where you feel left out? Like your friends don't seem to be as close to you as you thought they were? I've had several different groups of friends lately getting together without me there. It hurts. If it just happened once with one group of friends it wouldn't hurt so bad. But lately I can count at least four different groups, and it's getting to the point where I can't brush it off any more. It hurts. I know I'm mostly to blame as I don't have the car because DH has to go to school and where ever I go I pretty much have to take Handsome with me. But now I'm starting to wonder if it is more than that. Maybe it's just me. Maybe my personality has gone sour or maybe I just smell bad. So would anyone care to tell me why I suck?

Go Handsome, Go Handsome, Go Handsome

So we went to the doctor today for his check-up. He weighted 27.7 pounds, and was 33 inches tall. Do you know what that means?!?! He is basically 50% for both height and weight!!! YAY!!! Height and weight match!! We told the doctor he knows between 15 and 20 words, and she said that he was just fine and right on schedule!! YAY!!!

Only bad part about the appointment? I was holding him so he wouldn't cry as much and he peed on me and my pants!! I had to go to work right after the appointment and I didn't bring an extra pair of pants for either me or him. So he went into the car sans pants and I prayed my pants dried quickly.

Oh, and there was this child who was three who came in after us. He was hysterical crying and wanting to leave. He had his pacifier in his mouth and was yelling at his mother to leave, that the doctor was going to hurt him. This boy looked more like he was five and he was pretty strong. She had to pick him up and leave her bag to take him back when the nurse came to get him. Wow. I really hope Handsome never fears the doctor THAT much. Handsome cries when the doctor starts sticking him and when I can't hold him, but he's at least fine in the waiting room.

New Wave

Handsome has started waving the Ghana wave. He waves hello now and not just goodbye. DH let me sleep in this morning and when I came downstairs Owen was laughing and waving to me. Nothing better to wake up to.

New words:
Dog - Dah
Cold - Coh (not sure if I wrote this one before)

The temperature was up enough today to go outside and play. I love warm weather. Handsome played in his sandbox and we walked down to the little park and played on the swingset. Did I mention I love warm weather?

Yesterday we went to see a Ugandan man who performs his local songs and dances. Handsome actually paid attention the whole time. And a majority of the children there were actually mixed kids. Handsome sat on my lap almost the whole time until the end and he started dancing.

My tv? It's dying. Everything turns green in waves. I can't afford a new tv.

Sorry for the choppiness. I have to let Dh have the computer back quickly, so I just wanted to update quickly.
