My baby has grown up

Not alot has been going on in my world. Alex is playing baseball this summer and we are getting ready to wrap that up. Other than that, he's not up to much. Just enjoying school being out and going to the pool. I recently noticed something different about Alex. At first I thought there is no way I can be seeing what I am really seeing. So you know me, the skeptical mom, I just keep looking. And i'm thinking...."no way"......But yes way....it's true......my child is officiall taller than I am. He's as tall as my refrigerator. Just to get somewhat of a measure, my friend Micaela (who happens to be about 5"8) was here the other day and he's just a tad bit shorter than her. I could not believe my eyes. He is such a good kid and it has been so much fun being his mom. I can harldy believe that he is going to be in the 9th grade this year. I just can't believe that after all the hard times we had when he was a toddler that things are finally working out for us and we are slowly but surely having the family that we both deserve. I'll have to look and see if I have any recent photos of him to post. I'm not the best at taking pictures. I should get better at that. I'm gonna wish I had those pictures later!
