Great news...
I have some great news to share. A few weeks ago I applied to be a feature blogger on What to Expect website and on Wednesday I found out I got the job. It is a paying freelance blogging. I submitted a few names for my blog to my editor yesterday and I am waiting to hear back so I can get started on starting my blog and writing my first four blogs. Hopefully I will get the hang of writing so search engines will pick up my blog. The first few will probably be learning experiences but I am hoping to gain alot from this venture. I am SOOOO excited!!!!
Tomorrow Trevor, Lacey, Caleb and I are going wine tasting and to dinner for Valentines Day. It should be a good time. Hope everyone is able to spend sometime with their loved ones this weekend. Have a great weekend!
XOXOXO

Book, Books, and more Books
I am obsessed with buying books for Gaven. Last week I order 9 more books. Gotta love Amazon's 4-for-3 book deal. I am mostly buying board books right now but I try to add a regular book into the mix also for when he gets older. But I will read it to him now too. This is my newest purchase....
My latest Parents magazine suggested this book. I will have to let you know what we think of it. Any comments?

7 months and counting
Now that he has a tooth, we have started giving him teething biscuts & cookies. He is having fun with them. I get at least 15 minutes of free time. I also bought a box of Cherios so he can start working on his pinching ability. For now he is just raking and having fun throwing them. I have added an additional feeding at night for Gaven, maybe this is what attributed to his pound & a half weight gain. He gets Beechnut Goodnight cereal. He loves it, just wants us to shovel it in as fast as we can. Giving him this additional feeding has changed his eating patterns for the rest of the day, some. Before he would eat a jar and a half to two jars of food for lunch and dinner. Now he eats one jar of veggies and sometimes a few bites to a half jar of fruit. I think this is working for us. He is gaining!
He is playing with all his new toys very well on his own, but does enjoy when mommy and daddy play too. Thanks to Gaven's Aunt and Uncles for the noisy toys. He seems to really like playing with his steering wheel, the gears and the fish bowl (it lights up too). We didn't get many books but we are still reading our books. He likes to touch the books now so we are reading our 2 touch & feel books often. Time to hit up amazon for books. Gotta love the FREE SUPER SAVER SHIPPING. To bad mommy can't use her Bath & Body works gift card there, lol.
Being a new mommy, I am just trying to take in all his new experiences and enjoy them for the simplicity of an infants view.

2010....A new year
So I have been thinking about resolutions and goals since the new year is fastly approaching. And I wanted to have some place where I can write down my goals and be held accountable. I have even been thinking about starting another blog just about my resolutions/goals for 2010, since this blog is supposed to be about my family and our adventures. It is ambitious but maybe if I have to write about my progress, lets say once a week then I will be more likely to stick to my goals.
So lets start here by me writing out my Goals:
1. Be the best mom & wife, I can be.
2. Take better care of myself.
A. Drink more water and much less pop.
B. Eat more veggies.
C. Exercise more.
3. Make more time for my friends.
4. Train to run a 5K. (Couch-to-5K running plan - http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)
5. Blog more
6. Have more date nights with my husband.
I think this is a enough to tackle in one year. As I write these I really do think I will start another blog to track my progress/set backs for 2010. A blog about me. Please check out my new blog:
