tooth

already. seriously. he is biting (gumming) a lot while nursing and not nursing well...he pulls off all the time like it's time to burp. i've been extremely frustrated, enough to think we needed some help. well now i know what's up but what do i do? i asked the api mommies tonight because he is still pulling off a lot. gus didnt cut a tooth until he was exactly 6mo. 11 weeks seems kind of early.
anna and jim came over today for a bit and aiden had a bath in our sink. she is such a sweetie, so easygoing...much more so than both of my children. they get their anxiety from me. we talked about cloth dipes today and it made me soooo anxious to get mine in. we left for my parents' house for a cookout so the three that i have are in the dryer. h has to wear a sposie tonight. at my mom's we went for a walk. it was nice. grandma was there and aunt jean too. grandma encouraged me again to keep on breastfeeding, he is getting the best start possible. she said she tried three times to breastfeed and was unable to because of her anatomy. how awful.

i asked aunt jean what she's been up to and she said she can't get out, she cant bring herself to. i am very concerned. she has always been around but i've never been very close to her. now that joe is gone she is all alone. her whole world was consumed with taking care of him for so long that now she literally has nothing to do. i would do more with her but she doesn't like little kids very much. i remember how tony used to make her so nervous. my mom and i are at a loss for what to do for her. obviously we should include her when we get together. we'll be out that way for the fireworks in a few weeks and she will come to august's party but still...i wish there was something i could do for her to make her feel better.
