What's New...
Here's the latest on the sweet baby boy:
We started him on rice cereal about a week ago. He LOVES it! In fact I think he's put on a full pound since then! Well, at least he looks chubbier anyway. He's sitting in his highchair to eat like a big boy. He hates to lay on his back... so mom and I went to Target tonight for a Bumbo. He uses one at daycare and loves it. He really likes to sit up and see what's going on around him. On my days off I can't get any landry or dishes done because he wants to just sit in my lap while I help him sit up by putting his hands on top of mine. It's really cute, but sometimes I gotta pee! And I hate to hear him cry when I put him down on his blanket in the floor.
We also got him some more teething rings, more spoons and some stage 1 veggies. We got squash, pees, carrots, green beans and sweet potatoes. I think we're gonna try a green veggie first. I definately want him to get used to veggies before we add in fruits. I took him to his 4 month appointment on August 20th. He weighed 13lb. and 9oz. and was 26in. long. He's still only in the 10th percentile, but he's making steady progress. I can't wait until Oct. 21st at his 6 month appointment to see how much he's grown with the solid food.
That's all for now. Time for bed...

My Sweet Angel... Who Forever Has My Heart.Bad Blogger
I know, I know. I've been a BAD BLOGGER lately! To be perfectly honest it has a lot to do with it being back-to-school season at work. As soon as I get Deagan bathed and put to bed I usually end up checking my facebook and then watching some TV so my brain has time to unwind from the days events.
I've also fallen off the bandwagon as far as the weight loss goes. But I am determined to get back on track. I was watching a women's triathlon on TV Sunday, they have it every year at Lake Lanier Island here in GA. It's sponsored by IronGirl. I'm actually really interested in doing one. I feel like I need more motivation than just looking good, because some day I could care less what I look like. What I need is a goal, a training schedule that I can stick to, rain or shine and a support group.
I researched a group called North Atlanta Multisport Club. All of the members compete in local and/or national events. I believe I'm going to contact them and see if I can sit in on a meeting or even an event to see if it's something I really want to do. Bobby's cousin Meghan did one last year and her Bridal Party is the weekend after next, so I fully intend on picking her brains.
Deagan is doing absolutely wonderful. My heart swells when I go pick him up from daycare and he gives me a big gummy smile and laughs. I'm pretty sure he is getting ready to start teething though. His hands are CONSTANTLY in his mouth. I got him some rings that we can put in the fridge and get cold and he likes to suck on those for a while, until it gets to be room temp, then it's back to the hands.
He's only waking up once through the night if he sleeps in his crib. If I bring him in our bed he sleeps all night. I'm not gonna lie, I've brought him in our bed a couple of times last week, lol. Ok, ok last night too. He is getting so long! I have to put him in 6-9 month sleepers because the 3-6 month aren't long enough and the feet pockets are too small. His poor little toes curl up at the bottom. Lol.
Hopefully we'll get some family pics done soon. I'm still determined to lose 10 lbs. before we do though. Actually I'd love to lose 20, but hey, you gotta set realistic goals in order to attain them. It'll come. I plan to be 155 be September.
Well, that's been life lately. I'll post some pics here shortly...

My Talkative Baby Boy!
I was off today so Deagan and I had a fun filled day. After his bottle at 7:45am we played together on the floor. And I got this video while he was being really vocal.
Then we met Mom for lunch... we won't even talk about how our burgers were literally still mooing. Eww, needless to say we sent them back. Then I went to go visit my best friend Cait at work. She was really excited to see Deagan. We made plans to go to the festival downtown this Saturday. Then on the way home Brittany called. She was getting an estimate on her brakes so I picked her up and we hung out for a little while. Took her back to her car when they were done and then headed to Target for formula and rice cereal.
Tonight was the first night I put a little in his bottle. I've heard that it will make them sleep longer. But that's really not why I'm doing it. He just seems to not be fulfilled with formula. I'll get about 5 oz. in him and he refuses the nipple like he's done but 5 minutes later he'll chew on his hands and fuss, but when I try to give him more formula he refuses it again. So I started out with 1 tsp in his 4 oz. bottle. He seemed to have no problem sucking it down.
I guess it's too soon to tell if it'll help him sleep longer. I just put him down at 9pm, it's only been a half an hour since then. I just hope it keeps him full since he won't take anymore formula after 5 oz.

Sister-in-laws Rock!
So yesterday Bobby's sister Kayla came to hang with me and Deagan on my day off. We went to Rite-Aid to get my brother a birthday card and to pick out some hair color for me. Then we went home and played with Deagan for a while, fed him and during his nap I cleaned my bathroom and Kayla downloaded me the lasted cool tunes. I've been out of the loop for a while on my music...
So Kayla's job was to keep me current. She hooked me up with some 3OH!3, All Time Low, Flyleaf, Hey Monday and so much more. When I took her home we went in to visit with Stan so Deagan could see his grandad. He is so sweet with him, Deagan was smiling up a storm. His uncle Kirk held him for a while too, until he got hungry then it was time to head home, lol.
My girlfriend Brittany came over to do my hair after that and gossip. Yes, we gossip, but not anything bad, more like... current events chatter. Lol. You know, who's dating who, who has a problem with the two who's that are dating, etc. And by the way, it was the first time I'd done my hair from a store bought box, so I didn't trust myself to do it alone. Ha Ha Ha... Knowing me I'd end up with either purple hair or none at all!
It was also my brother's 26th birthday. We all sang him happy birthday and ate some ice cream cake. Sat around to shoot the bull. Gave Deagan a bath, then went to bed. All in all it was a fun day.

Megan Fox... she's so hot. I'll post a pic of my newly darkened hair this weekend when I actually have time to do it.

Germany and Panama City
What do these places have in common? People that I love will be there this weekend... Dad works for a company based out of Germany, so he's gotta go for business and mom decided to take a vacation so she's going with him. My brother and his girlfriend are going to Panama City, Florida for a couple of nights. How romantical! I wish I could go on vacation. But MY vacation time was spent confined to a bed. I don't accumulate another full week until about October, so I guess that's when I'm taking mine. I was thinking of going to visit my girlfriend Jessica at law school in VA for a couple of nights. I might even wait until November just so I can go when New Moon comes out since we're both Twi-hards. (For those of you who are UNCOOL and don't know, Twi-hard is a Hardcore Twilight fan, lol.) I guess I'll make that decision when it gets closer to November.
I know, I know...
I've been slacking on my blogging lately. I'm sorry, it's just been really busy lately. Let's see where to start. Work has been crazy lately. I normally get off at 4pm but almost all of last week and this week I've gotten off at 4:45pm, leaving me no time to go to the gym. In fact I'm thinking about cancelling my membership all together. I think I could do a better job on my own. I've got a safe neighborhood to run in, one of those big ab balls, some free weights and I think not worrying about how fat my ass looks in my workout pants will help me stay on track too. I'm tired of standing next to these gym-bunnies with mirrors all around me to remind me that I will probably never be that small again. By the way I can work out while Deagan naps instead of leaving him at daycare so long or relying on someone else to watch him. So that's where my frame of mind is at on that subject...
