In the Blink of an Eye

Let me start out by saying "wow." It has been almost a month since I have blogged and I do not even know where to begin. My little guy has done so much growing this last month, it just does not seem real. One day he was this little helpless squirming, rolly polly and now he is a crawling, climbing, fearless little guy. I can't believe my baby is getting so BIG!

He is definitely keeping mommy VERY busy. When he is not pulling out all of his clothes from his drawers, he is crawling all over the house climbing up the coffee table, the couch, the shelves, and even the wall. Anything that he can grab onto to help him stand, hes climbing up it.

I feel I can NEVER express enough how grateful I am to be able to stay home with my son and watch him grow. The changes occur daily and it just amazes me how fast time is flying by. I'm afraid to blink because I am afraid I will all of a sudden notice my baby has turned into a boy, and then boom into a man.  I suppose that is just how it does though. Everyone tells you, slow down and enjoy it while it lasts. And I will now be attesting to that! Do not rush your babies, for they will never be this little and innocent again.

Look at him now! No boppy needed!
















Besides normal mommy duties, and general life I have been working real hard on my "dreams/ goals" whatever you want to refer to them as. I've (TOOT MY OWN HORN) now have run my second 5k with my 3rd tomorrow night. I am now even lower than my pre-preggo weight. I feel so good! So strong! SO happy! I was doing eh with my reading when along came Mr. Kindle and got me completely off track! I can't really complain. I love to read, and so what if I throw in a new book here and there. I was tired of everyone talking about how good The Help was, and I just love Chelsea Handler and felt I was doing her an injustice by watching her show and NOT reading her books. So I did, I read them. And I read a baby book to try to help me figure out how to get my nearly 8 month old son to learn how to sleep. ( in process, i will have to update on this later) Have I mentioned I love reading? I really do. So much more than I love watching TV, exercising, even eating chocolate... which really is HUGE.

Sometimes I feel like I have ADD and just need to refocus. So enough about my obsession with reading, I have also been working on a little business idea, and the Honey and I have decided to start talking wedding after the New Year. So many exciting things to look forward to in 2012! Well that is all for tonight, I will slowly get this blog to where I would like to be.
