Please Pardon the Snot

Yes, he's a little snotty. That's the way our life rolls these days with teething and (I suspect) allergies. I love this picture anyway.  I was messing around with the camera and he just spontaneously grabbed my face-I of course cried afterwards. The spontaneous hugs are increasing daily.  Even after diaper changes (which he ALMOST always cries through) I will stand him up to pull the britches on and he gives me a big hug.  Maybe he's just grateful that I am done?  Dunno. 

Mommy's Little Helper

Our Mommy and Me class leader suggested letting little wee ones help with chores around the house.  So when LB sidled up to me in the kitchen I let him pitch in with the dishes.  We actually had a lot of laughs, it took twice as long but made dishes a little more interesting!

Figuresque Girl

Hi Everyone!

I have started a new blog to chronicle my weight loss journey.  I will continue to document about Little Bear and our family adjustment here at Curvy Runner, but felt that it would be best to start a new blog that has more of a weight loss focus.  I am trying to lose 122 pounds and would love for all of you to pop/click over and check it out.  Words of support and encouragement are welcome!  You can find my new blog "Figuresque Girl" here. 

I want to be the best mom that I can be, and that means:
 a. making sure that I live long enough to see him grow up
b. being a healthy role model for exercise and eating habits
c.being happy within myself, so that I am fun to be with

It's funny, I didn't learn how important it was to love myself until I had that little man in my life. I love him so much that the thought of not being here, of dying early, or missing out on fun activities simply because of my weight is simply not acceptable to me anymore.

I hope to see you there!
