Its been a while

since I posted so I decided to do some updating. I feel as though things have been very busy, but when I sit down and think about it.... it doesn't seem like we've done a whole lot. Sawyer has had some tummy issues, but I will spare the gruesome details. We aren't sure what exactly has caused him to have these particular issues. We haven't really changed anything in his diet other than we've been trying without much success to switch him over from formula to milk. I am wondering if he is lactose intolerant. Most of my family is. Poor kid. I hope that's not what it is but can't think of much else that it could be. He hasn't acted sick at all. Its weird. Other than that he is a busy busy boy! He is climbing on EVERYTHING. I left him for about 30 seconds and when I came back, he had climbed on a chair and was on top of our kitchen table! I nearly died. What if he would have fallen?! I hate to even think of that. He is so hilarious to watch. He is talking like a crazy person, mimics everything you say or do, loves teasing my dog Taya,is the most picky eater I have ever seen, knows some sign language, and is just a little ball of energy and fun! He keeps me running as long as he is awake! He is a hoot and a half!
Brandon took me on a date and we saw Avatar. I was not looking forward to seeing it at all but I actually really enjoyed it. The 3D glasses left me with a headache but other than that it was a good show.
I have been reading like a maniac lately too. I started reading the Sookie Stackhouse series and loved them. Then, Kelly gave me the House of Night books. I am on #2 and love it! I am almost done so I can start #3. She gave me a ton of other books to read to. I have got start reading faster or something cause I think I have 6 or 7 books to read in a month. Quite a bit for me.
I made a goal to start exercising at least 30 minutes 5X a week. I have been doing it for just over a week and a half which isn't long but is amazing I am still doing it! Its great to work with my grandma cause after breakfast, Sawyer goes down for a nap {usually} and my grandma takes about an hour shower. That is the time go downstairs and run/walk on my treadmill while I read my book. Its been perfect! I have noticed my moods have improved, I have a more energy {not a ton but more} and I have been sleeping better {when Sawyer isn't walking up}. December was a hard month for me. I was having a really hard time with my father passing away. I was eating all the time whether I was hungry or not, I had no motivation to do anything, especially exercise. I probably gained about 8 pounds. That may not sound like a ton to some people but for me that was awful. Devastating in fact. When I put on weight it affects a lot of things, especially my relationship with my husband. I feel fat, hideous, and undesirable. I decided I wasn't going to let myself keep going down that depressing road. I made myself a promise to exercise at least 30 minutes which really isn't that much. I am now going to start doing P90X Ab Ripper every Tuesday and Thursday and see if I can get 'beach ready'. Wish me luck!!
Here are some cute pics of Sawyer I wanted to post. He's getting so big!
