Whoo Hoo!

Every Monday morning I weigh myself. The last few weeks have been decent. This week though I only lost 0.4lbs. I was glad it was a loss, but bummed it wasn’t more. Tonight though I realized I am exactly halfway to my goal. YEA!! And really only 14lbs more to my pre-pregnancy weight. Not half bad. I keep telling myself nine months on, nine months off. If only I didn’t have so much pre-pregnancy weight to lose. I know that is going to be the hardest. Anyway, I am thrilled to be halfway there! GO ME!

Umm, Excuse Me….

I had planned to show you how well Jackson can sit up today. Well, Jackson had to really show off.

I put him in his seat to eat dinner like I always do. Except tonight he did not want to lay back to eat. He sat up all by himself and stayed that way. I looked down for a second to get his food and this is how I saw him next. Excuse me, where did my baby go? A big boy has replaced my baby Jackson!

Looks like it’s time to get a high chair! Say goodbye to the papasan seat! Yea! I will finally get my dining room table back. That seat takes up half the table. But, it was a lifesaver for a while. It was the only place I could put Jackson down and him not scream for the first few months. Now it’s time to graduate to a big boy high chair. I have not bought a high chair yet because I could not decide which one I wanted. I really want a Jenny Lind style high chair like I had when I was a baby. But, apparently they are very hard to find now. The only one I have been able to find is oak or natural wood. I want a maple one like I had. If only my mom had kept mine. I had a little rocking chair too. I can remember sitting in it reading books. Too bad I can’t pass them on to my babies. Oh, well. I guess I just need to bite the bullet and pick one.

Jackson has really been showing off his sitting skills today. He played in the living room on a blanket. But, he fell forward and hit his face on the floor and cried. Poor baby! I haven’t let him play on the floor downstairs before today. Because (a) I feel like it’s too dirty with Sadie running around and (b) it’s too hard. The whole downstairs is hardwood on a concrete slab. I know I need to let him play on the floor, especially when he starts crawling. But, I don’t want him to get hurt with it being such a hard surface. Am I worrying too much? Probably! I know he will get bumps and bruises. I just don’t want him to fall and hit his head on the floor. He doesn’t mind when he falls on the carpet in his room.

Then later we went and played in his room.

Just look at those blue eyes! I can hardly stand it!

Jackson even sat up in the tub during his bath tonight instead of laying in his little seat. Laying down is for babies! He’s a big man cub!
