We have a crawler!!

It's official, Maya is crawling! She's not breaking any land speed records yet, but she knows what to do to get what she's got her eyes on.



And, later that day, after so much moving and shaking, a hungry Maya could hardly eat her lunch.......

Baby Weight!

No idea why I posted this picture. It just jumped out and said "Post this one!" Yikes!

I am really disliking how long these last pounds are deciding to stay with me after the birth of my Maya 7 and a half months ago. I knew they weren't going to melt away, I knew I would have to work at it.

I am so sick of working at it!

I am at the gym 4-5 times a week. I sweat my butt off, my legs are killing me, my arms are ready to fall off and I am still frigging stuck! I've been doing a no sugar diet for two months. I have dropped 15 pounds because of this and exersize, but I have been saying that for a couple weeks now. I hate this. I am not indulging, not snacking on horrible crap, not drinking pop everyday and I am still staying away from sugar. Not everyday like I had been, but I don't eat it after dinner and I have it in VERY small incriments. AUGH.

And here I am, thinking I don't want to stop at two kids. But, I am going to be selfish and say, I am pretty sure I will because I don't want to go through this crap again! I love both of my little kiddos more than the world, loved being pregnant and will always carry a reminder of them with me, literally, but enough already!!

I enjoy getting to the gym and working at it, pushing myself and I do feel good. So geez, what's with my butt, gut and rutt?!

To the Chair He Went!

Hayden had his first visit to the dentist today!!! Leading up to it, he was excited, curious and very questioning. He was not the least bit scared.
Hayden had gone to the dentist with Buddy a few months back to get an idea of what it was all about. He was very interested and talked to the dental hygenist the entire time. Buddy will say again, they talked the entire time! So, he was so excited when I told him he gets to go to the dentist! He's been asking to go for a long time as his interest was peeked.

And here he is! Welcomed into the office with his name in print.....

He was a little hesitant to get onto the chair, only saying no once. Once he was on, the ride was smooth! The dentist was able to get in there right away, checking to make sure all the teeth that needed to be there were. All accounted for!

The pink teeth check. Hayden thought this was pretty cool. Pretty good brushing for a kid of his age! YEAH! I was a tad bit worried about this prognosis.

Getting the pearlies all polished up and clean! Such a brave guy! The dentist said we may not get this far since it was the first visit, but we made it all through flossing and flouride! Woo Hoo!!!
All cleaned up and sparkling! I am so proud of my little dude. I was so worried that it was going to be a fight made even harder by a squirmy 7 month old, but he was such a great kid today!!

Maya even got a little check. Bottom left front tooth should be popping through any day now!

What the.....?

I turned into our development today and almost hit a naked man.

Yep, a naked Ken doll was just sitting there in the road. I actually drove home, grabbed my camera and went back to take pics. I thought it was friggin hilarious! Someone seems to have "dropped" this in the middle of the road. To me, a naked Ken doll, literally sitting smack in the middle of the road, does not say "Oops!"

Baby Babbles

I enjoy nothing more now than the babbles that come out of Maya's mouth. It's so fun to just sit and listen to this Little Miss babble like she's holding a conversation. She is into dadadadada, bababababababa, and some super cute faces that coordinate with her noises.
Of course, when it comes to the camera in her face, the babbles become a smidge less. So, this is why, there are two!
