firsts.

i lost 5ish pounds over the last 4 weeks.
considering some of it was half assed.... i'll take it!

well.
one day this week i ran for 16minutes straight! for a big ole girl... i'm chalking that up as an accomplishment. i can only do it, however... without the stroller. i'm not so great at managing keeping the stroller straight, wondering if owen is crying, changing tunes on my ipod, and actually moving my legs all at the same time. i'm going to need help from the hubs if i want to keep this up. as in, running in the evening perhaps?? or maybe just maaaaaaybe arrising early in the morning before he leaves? hmm. we'll have to ponder that. and wait, did i say running? i should really just call it elevated walking... perhaps a mere jog. but nothing more.

i'm also considering re-joining jazzercise. i hear they have babysitters in the next room from the gym at the 9:15 class for all the tots. i'm contemplating the germ factor. but that sure would be something fun to do everyday. we'll see...

also... my son is suddenly growing up up up up up. and its just really something to watch.
just yesterday he realized he could sit up all by himself, he's rolling all over the universe, he sprung a tooth on the bottom front left, and we went swimming for the first time! not like head dunking and floaties. but we got in a pool. all in all i suppose to him it was like taking a big bath with a SUPER soggy diaper on. but nevertheless, he had a big day yesterday! and the saddest part is that we had to leave daddy at home while we're having fun with my family in florida... and all this happened while he was home!! talk about the pits. i cannot believe owen will be 6 months old in 4 little days. half a year! what what! i love him more every single solitary day.

alrighty then... good times...
