mmmmmm.....foooood!

Liam is too young to eat food. In fact, he still has 3 months before he is old enough for food. But he is still checking out his options. We went to Olive Garden and Terry ordered something with sausage. What could look better to a fat baby than sausage with cheese? Really, the child is clearly starving. He just stared and stared at the plate with the biggest eyes. Poor Liam. If only we'd feed him.

"Can I decorate your hair Mommy?"

Really, the pictures of this one say it all. But I can't complain because I love to have my hair played with. He brushed it out and make it "straight" then he put every hair clip and claw clip I have in my hair. It was beautiful! Sort of. It also took a while to get them all out. But he had lots of fun and it kept him entertained for a good hour!

A reluctant update.

I don't have great news that I lost any weight....at all. In fact, I gained weight. But, on a good note I believe I know why. Besides the fact that I drink too much soda I may not have been getting enough calories. This sounds weird but the research I've done states that if you don't get a high enough caloric intake while breastfeeding you will not lose weight at all. This is because your body will hold onto the fat and calories it can get. So I'm going to keep with the exercise as much as possible but I'm also going to be making sure that I get enough calories. And I'm going to try to be sure those calories are good for me. Hopefully next months update will be a little happier.

Weight- 143.2 (+ 5)
Waist- 33 1/2 (- 3/4)
Hips- 40 (+3/4)
Thigh- 24 1/4 (+1)
Calf- 15 1/2 (+1/2)
Upper Arm- 10 3/4 (+1/4)

Rollerskating playdate

Collin and his friend Ellis from school went rollerskating on Sunday. Collin has been a few times before but this was Ellis' first time! They both did relatively well for beginners and never gave up. The grownups were tired and glad the 3 hour session was over, but the boys were still talking about it this morning. We all had fun and hope to do it again soon!


(Liam didn't care about skating, but he liked the carpet. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get him to look at me!)

Cowboy Golf

Terry has some weird friends. They live in the middle of nowhere desert and this is what they do on Sundays. Sorry the pictures are so bad but I only had my cell phone with me.



Do you see the little bit of grass that Collin is hitting from? This is the tee box. It is a piece of plastic grass. They carried it with them from hole to hole! It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen!


But not only was there golf, there were horses. Collin liked them the best. He wanted to feed them so we were picking their feed off the ground and giving it to them.




One of the horses thought the feed was good, but was interested in expanding his food horizon. After trying to steal our drinks off the back of the stroller he decided to taste Liam. I caught him dragging the stroller closer with his teeth by biting the tray. If Liam looks a little worried in this picture it is justified. These horses are huge!
