24

Twenty-Four ...
24 is the number of hours there are in a day.
It's the number of pacifiers we have in our house.
24 is the name of one of our favorite shows starring Kiefer Sutherland.
It's the age my mom was when she had her first daughter.
24 is also Gavin's WEIGHT, which I learned at his six-month check-up yesterday.




Gavin is a big boy but he is also a tall boy so the doctor says he is proportionate and likely to be a tall, thin athlete someday. He was a bit congested yesterday, which he is occasionally, and the doctor says he has Bronchiolitis. He says many babies have that but they soon grow out of it. Luckily, he's not concerned about asthma or asthmatic bronchitis, which was a concern of John's Dad back in August. Gavin now has a prescription for Albuterol, which we give to him whenever he sounds wheezy. It helps him breathe better by opening his airways.
