For Nana Cindy And Boppa Poopy In Tennessee...We Miss You

I'm Lovin It

Beau had his first Happy Meal a week or so ago. He ate most of it, after I broke the nuggets and fries into itty bitty pieces. It was fun and easy. I mean what kid doesn't love a Happy Meal? And then when he found out there was a cool toy at the bottom of the bag, it put icing on the cake! My little man is getting so big!

Oh How Time Flies

Beau turned 9 months on April 25th, and had his 9 month check up shortly after. He weighs 21lbs. 10 oz., is 28" long, and just overall healthy. He stopped drinking formula about 2 months ago. Not because I wanted him to, but he simply won't take it. And if he does try he will most likely throw it up. We have tried whole milk, but he won't take it from a bottle. So I have to give him little bits at a time from a cup. He is on a vitamin, that is a must since he isn't drinking any formula and very little whole milk. It's frustrating, and at times like this I wish I could've breast fed. For those who don't know, I got really sick with Mastitis (breast infection). I was hospitalized for a few days and told to stop breast feeding all together. Again, frustrating. But, Beau seems to be as healthy as can be, and the vitamin should help.

Even more exciting news! Buggy now has 2 teeth! He got his first at 8 1/2 months. And then the 2nd like 2 weeks after. It's his two bottom teeth. It's so cute. I am trying to get a picture, but he won't let anyone near those things. They aren't fully in yet and I am sure it's still sensitive, so as soon as they are sticking all they way up, which I cannot wait for, I'll get a good pic. He has been a trooper. He is of course cranky at times, but I think he has been really good. No fevers, just a sore mouth. A little orajel and tylenol seem to do the trick. I feel blessed to have such a sweet little boy. I mean, like everyone, he has his moments, but over all he is just heavenly. I know I am suppose to feel this way, being his mom and all, but I have known kids that seem to cry all the time and parents who are constantly trying to entertain their little ones, and I don't have to do that. I love to entertain Bugs but I don't really HAVE to. He will even sit and look at a book by himself now. It's the cutest thing to see him turn the page and look at it so seriously. Oh I just love being a mommy.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I know I did. We didn't go anywhere. We just hung out at home and it was perfect. I got a cute card (and cash!) from TK and Beau, to do whatever I wish. Whoo Hoo!

YUCK

I have never been good at exercise. And I am at my heaviest in my life right now. It's weird at how badly I want to lose weight, but never get up and start to work out. Then I beat myself up for it. Has anyone been in my shoes? Can anyone give me ideas, advice, or encouragement? I would also love some eating ideas. Like good healthy recipes. And good snacks. I snack alot. I just can't continue on like this or before you know it, I'll be big enough for the Biggest Loser! I mean that's how it happens. You just let go and you don't realize how much you are gaining and then you can't explain how it got that bad. I may not be big to some, but for me this is big. Like I said, I am at my heaviest to date. I'll even post a recent pic. That's how I realized I was getting bigger than I wanted to be. You think you look one way and then you see a picture and you're like "REALLY? There must be something wrong with this camera!" Oh my. I just don't know where to start. But I know I need to start or it will just get harder and harder. I had noticed I had gained a little bit and then I got pregnant and just figured I could eat whatever cause I was pregnant. I found out the hard way that you shouldn't do that. I thought I would have Beau and go back to what I was before and then only have like 10-15 pounds to lose. Boy was I wrong! I feel a little better being able to come on here and vent, which I should probably do from now on cause I am sure TK is tired of hearing it. Oh, what a world!

Whoo Hoo!

Beau got his first ride on the tractor with his poppa the other day. He isn't smiling but I know he had a blast. He is just too busy checking out everything and trying to figure out what's happening to smile. It was so cute to watch. I think poppa mighta had more fun than Buggy :)
