My Birthday Present!
Well, my birthday isn't for another two months (December 30th), but since it's my big 2-5 that means it's my last "big" birthday from my parents. After this year it's just cards and cake, lol. So this is the present I picked out for myself. I have no time to go to the gym, but I do have space in the garage. So after Deagan gets put to bed at night, momma's gonna be workin on some fitness. Working out is pretty much the only thing that motivates me to eat right. So, hopefully by next summer I'll be about 30lbs lighter. Just in time to start running after a mobile baby!
P.S. I learned today that my bestie from high school is getting engaged, yay! Congrats Kimmy-face!

6 and 1/2 month update:
Deagan had his check up yesterday. Started off with head circumference and length, then got the weight. I posted the percentiles on Facebook, but I did some research and realized that I used a really generic calculator and found one specifically for ages 0-3 years. Here's the stats:
Weight: 15lb. and 13oz. - 37th percentile
Height: 28in. - 97th percentile (Dude is TALL!)
Head: 42cm. - 26th percentile
We had a good rest of the day hanging out. He got two more immunizations so he was pretty needy all day. So the dishes and laundry did not get done. Today Bobby was off with him and they had a good boys day. When I got home from work I was greeted in the driveway with Deagan on Bobby's shoulders. We had a good laugh at the shadow, lol. It was SO funny, Bobby looked exceptionally tall (well, taller than he already is at 6'5") and then Deagan's tiny head poking up from Bobby's head.
I found out Deagan's food limit today. We were concerned that his weight was still pretty low, we figured he'd be caught up by now so I decided to feed him until he stopped opening his mouth. FYI--- NOT a smart idea. So he had a full container of carrots and applesauce, and he still seemed like he could eat more. So I pulled out a veggie blend and started with that. We got the last bite of that one in and I was just telling Deagan what I big boy he was eating so much food. And then it ALL came back up!!! Carrots and all. It really scared me at first, but I calmed down when he looked at me and smiled. So for future reference... Two 3.5oz containers of food is enough for my little man for now. We both needed a bath tonight. Lol.
Oh and he's learned to vibrate his tongue on the roof of his mouth. I have a video of it. As soon as I upload it and figure out how to post it I'll get it up here. It SOOO cute!

Ok so I've been busy... I'm a mom. Sue me. :o)
I realize it has been quite some time since I've updated. The only time I have to get on the computer is at night after Deagan is tucked into bed. And after I get done checking email, researching various topic that have popped into myhead that day and catching up with friends and family on Facebook, my blog has gone by the wayside. Hopefully I can get back on track with more frequent updates.
Deagan has a 6 month appointment tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be on to blog about it tomorrow night. Goodnight family and friends.

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.
