Weight Loss

So on March 22nd I weighed 175 and today I weigh 166!
That's 9lbs in two monthes! I'm used to losing wieght quicker but I am also used to going to the gym 4-5 times a week and doing 10 minute abs everyday. Now I'm lucky if I get to the gym 3 times a week. My brother's wedding is July 15th. Do you think that I can reach the 155 mark by then?

Update

Swimming- Since Sean was in Bar Harbor last weekend Christian and I invited Grampa Goding to come watch his lesson last Saturday. Christian did such a great job kicking and going under water. Grampa enjoyed being able to watch and took us to breakfast afterwards.

Teeth- His third tooth is well on it's way to being fully in but the fourth tooth is just taking it's sweet time. When I checked it this morning it was very red and inflamed. He is taking it very well.

Sleeping- I took two days off from work and de-cluttered the house. I moved Christian out of our bedroom and into our large living room. Christian has spent 3 nights sleeping in his new "room" and he is sleeping through the night. He goes down around 7:30 pm and wakes around 5:00 am. It is so nice to be able to sleep and to also have my space back.

Eating- Christian eats so well. He is eating three meals a day with bottles in between. He also has dessert and cookies on occasion. His favorite cookie is the arrowroot cookie and I think that they are pretty good as well.

Binky- about two weeks ago Christian decided that he is no longer going to use a binky and we are not going to question him as to why.

Sitting- He is sitting all by himself now. If he falls he can't get back up though.

Crawling- we are starting to see the beginning stages of crawling. We have seen him get up on his hands and knees but he can't move from there. We're close though.

Hmm, I can't think of any other topics for discussion so I guess you'll have to wait until my next post for more info.......Enjoy the rainy weather.

Swim Lessons at the YMCA

Christian had his first swim lesson on Saturday and he did great.

This is what they did in the 30 minute class:
2 songs
laps the short length of the pool on their belly attempting to paddle and kick
laps the short length of the pool on their backs attempting to paddle and kick
laps the short length of the pool 1/2 way on their belly and 1/2 way one their back
laps the short length of the pool with the baby on a kick board
the instructor dunked the baby for the ring
laps the short length of the pool trying to catch a ring
laps the short length of the pool with a noodle for the parent (to prepare to do laps the long length of the pool) and a noodle for the baby
2 songs and a dunk at the end of one song if you want

There were only 3 babies in our class.

Another Tooth and He can sit all by Himself.

So last night Sean and I felt around in Christian's mouth and we discovered that his top, right front tooth has arrived! The left one will be in soon as well. His temperament has been wonderful so we would have never guessed.

He is also sitting up all by himself lately.

I am so proud of my little man.
He is the best baby ever (I'm sure that every mother feels this way)
