Will Thinks He's a Dog

The other day, my aunt came by and chatted with us for a few minutes. When she was set to leave, we all went outside with her to say goodbye. Across the street from us, my neighbor just got home and went to check her mail. Will walked to the edge of our grass and began to growl at her. I thought it was a fluke since he makes that noise for no reason usually, but this time seemed different. As she moved closer to her mailbox, he moved closer to her and began to growl again. My neighbor came over to say hi to him, but he just turned and laughed. It was the funniest thing I have seen him do. It is official, our child thinks he is a dog!

I'm Down 5.4 lbs This Week!!!!

I am so excited about my weight loss this week! I was just hoping to lose at least the 2.2lbs that I put on during the past two weeks. With my loss today, I gained my 10% keychain and another 5lbs star. I was not expecting to have such a great loss this week, but I will gladly take it! So with this week, I am down 23.6 lbs. I am not sure that I will start the Core plan this week, but I will definitely try it next week when I've had a chance to go shopping for it.

Will's 18 Month Check-up

Today Will had his 18 month check-up and I can report that all is well. The only concern I had is the fact that he just doesn't seem to want to talk. He understands everything, but nada is coming out of his mouth. The doctor and I talked today about this lack of talking and we are going to see how the next few months play out. If I still have some concern after the next few months then I will get back in contact with them and we will decide what to do. The good news is that in the past few weeks alone he has made some milestones with his hand and eye coordination, which is very exciting to see. As for now, we will just see what happens.

Here are his stats!

Weight: 29.3 lbs (90%)
Height: 32.75" (75%)
Head: 19.5" (90%) - he has come down 5% in this category

Editing Pictures

The other night I was going through my pictures and I found a good one of Will and Shan together at the Georgia Aquarium. I was bummed because the picture looked awful. I know the pictures are small, but clicking on them you would see Will has bad red eye and the color is just wrong. So I decided to see what I could to do edit the picture and here is what happened. It's probably one of my favorite pictures of the two of them together.

Our Florida Trip Slideshow

Here are some pictures that I finally downloaded from my camera. Thanks go out to Shaun and Lori for their wonderful hospitality, and for little Shaun and Jackson for giving us their room to sleep. As for Emma, she could not have been sweeter!

My Weight Saga..

So this week was not as great as I would have liked. I gained just a bit over a pound, so I back under 20lbs again. I have got myself back on track this week and I hope to at least make it back to where I was a few weeks ago. Either way, it could have been worse! Next week I think I'm going to try the Core plan to see how that works out for me. If nothing else, maybe it will give me a little push in the right direction!

Back From Our Florida Trip

We had such a great time in Florida visiting with my family. My youngest nephew and Will are four months apart, but you wouldn't know it by the size of the two boys. Its crazy how similiar the two of them appear. Will had such a great time playing with his cousins and getting a cute haircut from his Aunt Lori. I also got a haircut as well. It is a shame that we are not closer so we could spend more time together. There is a chance they might come up for a visit some time in August. We'd love to see them again! Pictures will be posted soon!
