News and updates

Sorry it has been a while, but we have been one busy family! Mason is over 5 months old now, and is doing more and more every day. He has discovered the joy of rolling around, and is trying so hard to creep now. He can scoot a little already to get to something he wants, but it's far from what I would consider crawling. I think he's also working on a tooth. He's been irritable (which is strange), doesn't want to eat much (even stranger), and especially drooly and has a clear runny nose. He also wants to chew on EVERYTHING! We'll see if anything develops, or if maybe it's just a cold.

Here's some other things Mason has been up to...

Mason was not too sure about the Jumperoo at first. He now thinks it's great and sqeals with delight when he can move and jump around.

Eating rice cereal. Always messy, but also always fun.

Just like the bib says, "Cute but messy"

Rolling is so fun!

Mason loves his exersaucer! He gets so excited playing with all the toys around him.

A big thanks

Thank you to everyone who showed up and/or donated to the Walk MS this year. We had a good size team again on Saturday, and the sun even came out for a little while. I'll get pics up soon, I just wanted to say thanks first. And, as far as I know, Team Hope was the #1 fundraising team for 2009!!!

On the second day

Note to self: Do not start diet the same week that you are receiving steroid infusions for an MS flare. It makes it impossible to stick to under 1250 calories a day. And the flare makes it impossible to exercise when you keep falling down.

Not a great combo, but I'm trying to stick to the plan as best as I can.

On the first day

Today, I begin "Operation: Skinny Bitch". Basically, I need to lose weight and get back into shape. I tried to start running again, but Dr. says no more running for this girl because of my hip...grrr! Anyway, I'm not disclosing my current weight, but it's more than I want it to be and since I'm no longer breastfeeding I need to stop eating like I'm still pregnant :)

I originally called it "Operation: Baby Fat" but that sounded too negative. Other thoughts were "Operation: Hot Mama" or "Operation: MILF" but I think I'm sticking with Skinny Bitch.

Wish me luck! Anyone have any suggestions on non-running cardio activities?

Who's your daddy?


Todd sent me this pic the other day while I was at work. I know some people say Mason looks like me...but come on...I think the only people who think that are people who haven't seen his daddy!
