Avery

I took Avery to the dr. for his sports physical at the beginning of Feb., and he was two inches from being as tall as I am. I know that's not saying a lot, but still! I'm pretty sure he's grown since then even, because every time I look at him he seems taller. He's like a weed. He's outgrowing his jeans almost faster than I can buy him new ones. And the new ones I just bought look like they'll only fit for another month! It's crazy!
I've known since before he was born that he would one day be taller than me, but it's still slightly shocking. I know that if looking straight into his eyes seems weird, then looking up at him is definitely going to be an adjustment!
It's fun and scary watching him turn into a teenager. He's clueless and amazing at the same time! He lives in this blue sweatshirt, literally. He stands up for his friends and what he believes. He misplaces nearly everything he owns at one time or another, and can't find anything on his own. He's confident and sometimes responsible, when I really need him to be. He's growing up quickly, and I'm just thankful that I'm along for the ride!

btw...this photo is a sneak peek of our weekend trip. more pics to follow later.
