I'm Back!
Ahhhh Back home after a few days of fun and sun.....
I feel like I'm always playing "catch-Up" these days. I'm pages behind on Journals and have been bad at updating my own but time just flies..
Vacation
Went to Miami to visit our friends who moved down there 2 years ago. We stayed in their building as they have guest apartments and having the baby, the space sure does help. The place was actually really very nice so I'm glad we decided to do that. They live just north of South Beach madness which is nice cause you can get away from the crowds if you want. The weather was nice - high in the 70's with pure sunshine! I tell you it's not such a bad life and I wonder why we live here.
Jackson got to swim and we took him to the Park and he was great. Loved his stroller rides along the beach. I bought a second lightweight stroller for trips that I plan to keep in our car. I bought the Maclaren Quest and LOVE it! I actually got a deal on the 2005 model which is basically the same except the 2006 has slightly bigger wheels which is not a big deal as it is not my everyday stroller and the colors are different - big deal. Saved me $50 so I was happy.
We ate dinner out most nites pretty early - 7PM or so and he did really well. Had toys and bottle and having bread at the table keeps him occupied too~ I must say that travelling with a baby is tough. We went to The Bahamas when he was 4 months and I found him easier to travel with then. He's 8 months now and the ball game has changed. He's much more active and does not sit for long periods of time :-) In any case, all went well and I think we're all relaxed although I would not pass up a massage.

Birhtday Bash
I know it's crazy but my little boo is going to turn 1 in 4 short months. Where does the time go? Not sure what I'm going to plan. Might do a mid sized party with Kids and Adults someplace fun. I must start thinking of options now. Anyone else throwing a 1st birthday party? Would love to hear what your doing!
Misc
Crawling - No crawling just yet. He gets up on all 4's and rocks (it's hysterical).
Talking - He's also into exercising his vocal chords and he's LOUD!
Eating - fruits, veggies and Yogurt and has had no real aversions or allergies. He also likes the weat teething biscuits which make a freakin mess. Very rarely do I give him table food but I guess I can start.
Clothes - Need to start building the summer wardrobe. I bought a few things. I actually got him some Vans and the cutest Summer sandals from Soft Star.
Weight/Fat....
Lost all the baby weight but I feel flabby and just yuck. Put on my bathing suits in Florida and realized I do not want to look this way so I called the Gym from the beach and finally got signed up for my Pilates class. I also got a 6 pack of Personal Training sessions. I'm hoping this will kick-start my exercise routine.
My sleeping beauty is going to be getting up from his nap so I better Jet!
