Operation slim down!

Okay, it's time to get serious!!  I am ready for the baby bump to go away.  I have done pretty well on the scale thus far.  The actual number on the scale went down fairly quickly, but I still look like someone that just had a baby.  I need to lose more weight and do some serious toning up!  Carter needs to be 3 months old to go to the daycare at the gym so I am stuck working out around here.  The weather has been my enemy as well...it's too cold to take Carter out most of the time.  The handful of times I have gone running so far have been with just Kili while Jamie watched Carter.  So for now I will run when I can and hopefully make it to the gym on the weekends.  I also bought the Insanity DVD's and I can't wait to start those!!!  Jamie got back into the gym this morning, so it helps that both of us are working towards the same goal.  I will keep you posted with our progress...wish us luck!!

Valentine's Day

Ahhh, Valentine's Day....I love this holiday!!   Not sure why I like it so much, but I do!  Thankfully I have a wonderful husband that knows how much I love this holiday, and he never fails to surprise me with amazing gifts!  This year I was surprised with a beautiful bracelet.  My new bracelet has topaz stones all around it which is Carter's birthstone, so sweet!!!  Jamie and I normally go out to a nice dinner to celebrate, but since we have little man with us this year we are celebrating at Mellow Mushroom :)  I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day...even if you hate this holiday, I hope you have a great day!

My beautiful gift from my amazing husband :o)

My little Prince Charming (thanks for the shirt Chris!)

Carter loves Valentine's Day too!

2 Months Old

Carter Rollins was 2 months old on 2/7/2011!  He is doing great, and growing like he should.  At his doctor appointment he weighed 12 lbs and he was a little over 23 inches long...big boy! He has almost doubled his birth weight.  He is in the 75th % for height and weight and the 25th % for his head size...big belly and little head :o)  He is still waking up to the world, and he is getting more playful everyday.  He loves to smile and laugh now which melts my heart every time.  He really is developing a little personality, and he is so fun to be around.  Definitely a happy baby and we love spending time with him.  I still have another month before I have to go back to work so we get to spend lots of time together.  All 4 of us (Kili included) are heading to the beach at the end of the month for one last vacation before my maternity leave ends.  Driving to FL with Carter and Kili should be interesting...wish us luck!  Here are some of Carter's likes and dislikes at 2 months old:

Likes:
Sleeping on his tummy
His swaddle blanket (he will sleep through the night as long has he is swaddled)
The activity mat
Bath time
His swing, finally!
Being held...his favorite place to be is still in my arms
His car seat...I even put him in there when we are home so he will fall asleep
Eating...obviously
His mobile...he loves to lay in his crib and watch his mobile go back and forth

Dislikes:
Putting his hat on....he likes to wear them, just not put them on
Getting buckled in the car seat....he likes being in there, but doesn't like to buckle in
Napping....he doesn't normally nap very long during the day

Now for the pictures, enjoy:

Sleeping on the couch....so peaceful :)
