My 26th Birthday!

Wow--it seems crazy that Im 26 now--where has the time gone? Anywho--I had a good birthday! My present from Caleb was our Mexico trip so that was obviously amazing. On my actual Birthday we just went out and ate at Don Jose's with my parents and then afterwards took Brandt to his first trip to Kiddieland. He really liked riding the train! Nothing to eventful but I got to spend time with my family and there is nothing better than that!

P90 X

Since having Brandt I have lost around 67 lbs which makes me 25 lbs less than I weighed before getting pregnant with him--which is awesome because the whole time I was pregnant I was worried I would never lose the weight. I've been maintaining it for a year with working out and eating better but I would really like to lose 10 more lbs and tone up a little more so I decided to do P90X. This is my 2nd week of it. Its crazy hard but I really like it. Im in decent shape and cant even do some of the stuff they do. Maybe in time I will be able to. Im going to continue going to the Simmons Center and doing the classes there and the elliptical trainer though, because I really enjoy that--and Brandt likes going to the nursery there too. So we will see how it goes. I hope I can stick with it! I will post my progress later!!

Brandt at 15 months!

Brandt turned 15 months on June 15th. I can't believe how time has flown by. He had his Drs. appointment that day also. He weighed 25 lbs and was 32 1/2 inches long. That put him in the 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height. He has got a mouth full of teeth--like 14 I think! And they all started coming in at once--poor guy :( He has started talking alot more but most of the time we still can't understand any of it..haha. He is running everywhere now, not just walking. He loves being outside and being in the water. We took him over to our friends house to swim the other day and put his floaties on and let go of him and he kicked his legs and was fine all by himself. It was so cute! It makes me so glad that he's not scared of the water. He is putting himself to sleep in his crib all by himself for his naps and at nighttime and is sleeping all night until 8 the next morning, which is so nice!

Today was his first day of Mother's Day Out. It was kind of hard leaving him this morning but I know he will do great because he loves being around kids. He didn't even cry so that made me feel better. I can't wait to go pick him up at 3 to see how he did!!

Riviera Maya 2010

When we got back from our Florida trip on May 21'st Caleb and I turned around and went to Riviera Maya, Mexico on June 3rd. Sounds kind of ridiculous to take two trips so close together but Caleb bought took me there for my 26th birthday present so we could get away just the two of us. The resort we stayed at was amazing! It was definitely the nicest one I had ever stayed at and I have been to Mexico like 5 times before that. It had 7 restaurants that had wonderful food, 5 bars, infiniti pools with loungechairs in them, 24 hour room service, a mini bar in our room and the best part was that everything was included!! My Mom and Caleb's mom traded off keeping Brandt while we were gone. We missed him so much!! By the last day we were so ready to come home and see the little guy. Caleb and I had a great time together--that was an awesome birthday present!!

Destin, FL 2010

This post is a little late but oh well. Me, Brandt, Caleb & my mom all took a vacation to Destin, Florida the week of May 15th. The previous Wednesday Caleb found out that he would have to travel to Newfoundland, Canada for his job the next day. I was really disappointed b/c I thought that was going to ruin our vacation but they flew him into Pensacola, FL on Sunday night and we went and picked him up so it all worked out great. So it was just me, Brandt & my mom on the drive there. Brandt did really well in the car. We stopped in Shreveport the first night and stayed in a hotel and then got up Sunday and drove to Pensacola and picked up Caleb and spent the night there. Then Monday we got up and headed into Destin! The oil hadn't made it there yet so I was thankful for that. It breaks my heart that is there now because that was the most beautiful beach I had ever seen. Hopefully it is cleaned up by next year so we can go back. Brandt had a great time playing in the sand with his shovel and bucket and wasn't scared of the water one bit. He loved the ocean. We stayed in a condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, so that was nice for everyone to have their own space. Basically we just spent everyday either swimming in the pool or laying out on the beach and then at night we would go out to eat. It was a blast--it made me just want to move there..haha.
