P90x Challenge

OK folks, now I have never been a very skinny girl, or even a super fit person. I generally don't stick to diets or workout regimens, but I really would like to. That's where you come in. In addition to blogging about my family and our adventures, I am going to add to this blog, my new personal attempt at bettering myself. The hope is that with the feeling (whether or not anyone actually cares or reads about it) that someone is watching my progress will motivate me to stick to my goal until it is completed. I am going to start the P90x workout on October 1st. I will log my feelings and progress throughout the workout, as well as post pictures on day 1, day 30, day 60, and of course, day 90. I will share any weight gain or loss, and on day 90 I will post my starting and ending weight as well as my starting and ending dress size. I will be weighing myself every Sunday, and will most likely blog about each week on those weigh-in days. I figured that after having a baby and trying to get back into shape anyway, why not go for it and try to get into the best shape of my life! Follow me here and share your support, and look for my day one blog and pictures on October 1st! Thanks everyone!!

Blessing photos!

Well, as I promised, my sweet little baby's blessing photos are up -

Also, Just wanted to put up a few other fun photos from the moth so far - he is getting so big!!! He is talking so much, a non-stop babble all day long. I love it! He melts my heart!

My bald boys, Alan loves it - anything to get more comments about how much Zade looks like him!

All bundled up against the wind, with Teddy in tow!

He sure does love bath time! (excuse the pots in the sink! lol!!)

He is such a character! So smiley and talkative. He entertains me all day long!

Teething! Anything he can get his hands on goes straight in the mouth!

Zade's Blessing

My dad blessed Zade for us this past Sunday. It was very beautiful, my dad's blessing was the most perfect baby blessing I have ever heard. I was honored to have him do it. Zade behaved himself the whole time, and of course looked thoroughly adorable! Pics from the day as well as his blessing photoshoot to come!!

Whew!

Sorry for the long break in the blog- I really am not organized for this kind of thing! But I am slowly figuring out how to be a working momma and still get in all the things I want to do :) Zadey-baby will be 3 months on Saturday, so I will take a moment to get you up to date from the last post on just how big my little man is getting!

Zade loves to goo and coo, and while we were on our first family vacation, he started laughing! He thinks I'm extremely hilarious, and quite frankly, I think his laugh is equally as hilarious!

Zade rolled over for the first time a few days ago, sadly for me he was with his babysitter when it happened (he is such a stinker.) He showed me his trick once yesterday, but he does it a lot for Sarah!

I have been singing Zade to sleep since he was born, and he has starting to sing with me. It is the funniest thing ever! Super cute. Maybe one day he'll be a famous singer! (hard to see the video, but you can hear him!)

Zade loves to stand (with assistance) more than to sit or lay, but if you put him on the floor on his back he can be easily amused for quite a while. However, he HATES tummy time. He gets very mad at me when we do it ;)

He is also teething already! They come up and go down and bug him, but none have broken the surface yet. He is starting to be able to bring some of his little teething toys into his mouth, but when he can't get a hold of one, hist chubby little fist will suffice :)

Zade slept through the night 2 nights ago, and I got a full 8 hours! I was super proud of him, but after last night I'm feeling it may be a while before we have a repeat of that!

He is doing so well for his sitter, Sarah, and her cute daughter Maddy. It is extremely hard for me to leave him when I work, and I'm grateful to them for taking care of him. It was super cute when I picked him up yesterday and I thanked Maddy for taking care of him and she said "I hold him all the time!" and as we left she said to Zade "I love you!" Melts my heart. She'll be a great big sister one day!
