♫...LiFe...♪

Well. It is Monday. I did not start the Alli weightloss aid pill yet. I am starting it today. I thought we would go shopping early on Saturday so I could be totally healthy but we didn't go until late that day...so I pushed it to today.

ahhh....I love my Monday's with Oliver. And I am so lucky I get a five day weekend with Oliver this week! I work Tuesday and Wednesday and then we don't have babysitters for Thursday or Friday so I am staying home with Ollie! ♥ YAY! ♥ I am very excited about it. I can't even tell you how badly I wish every week was like that! Maybe one day though...maybe if Billy gets a raise one day soon I can go to working just 2 days a week. I really want to make the most of my time off though because who knows when I will have 5 consecutive days off again. Speaking of my Oliver. He is getting so big! Here are some updates...

He is eating baby food now. Which is just so much fun for us! I love watching his reaction to all the flavors and textures. And he gets so messy! That is taking some getting used to because I am totally that mom that wants everything neat and clean. (we will see how long that will last..boys are so messy.)

He is also very rambunctious these days. (I have no idea how to spell that word) He laughs and giggles and plays and gets mad at us. I just love it. He is not close to crawling at all though. He doesn't even try. He hates being on his belly. I just can't believe he is almost 6months. crazy.

I think that he just started teething(for real) last night. He was very sad and we gave him some baby orajel and for the first time it worked to calm him down. So we will see how he does with that can of worms! AAACK!

Here are some pictures of our cute boy! ♥

He just melts my heart. I love him. I can't wait to see more of his personality as he gets older. He is till our mellow boy though even with the teething and rambunctiousness.

As for weightloss. Hmmm is all that I can really say. I plan on going for a walk with Ollie today. I think we will do my elliptical today too instead of the Your Shape game. I did that one yesterday and the day before. I have a lot of motivation to lose this last 10lbs before June. That will keep me on target. Let's see...we are going to Michigan in June...I want to have some clear progress by that time. I don't want to be Billy's fat wife that couldn't lose the baby weight ya know? geez that sounds so bad but that is really how my mind works. It is strange too because I don't judge others as harshly as I judge myself. We are also going to have family pictures done sometime soon. We only had Oliver's pics done last time. So I want to at least look ok if I have to stare at these pics until we get new ones done next year. I also bought some size 12 pants that I am excited to wear a long with all the other clothes I could wear before I got pregnant. I really want to fit into cute clothes. It will be so nice when I can get dressed up to go somewhere and feel cute! I miss that feeling. Now I just feel...yucky.

Anywho enough of that. I added a new section to the right of my blog. It is about books I am reading. I am finding more and more that I am only interested in reading books that I feel that teach me something interesting or how to make my life better...more fulfilled. So check that section our every once in a while since it will change. Also as soon as I am done with this posting I am going to do a special posting all about DrEaMs...something anyone that knows me knows I like to do a lot of! ♥

Well that is that....I will come back soon and blog some more! ♥
