Feeling Proud

OMG. I just wrote an entire blog and it got deleted! AAARRRGGGGGGHHH!!!

I will do my best to recreate what I already wrote....

Do you ever have those moments where you just feel proud? Well, I had 2 of those moments today! It makes everything worth it... Doesn't it?

Proud moment #1 - I was sitting on my kitchen chair, facing Gavin in his highchair and was about to go through the struggle of feeding him solids, (we do this once a day, every day). Why you may ask? Well, I want him to gain some weight! He's so small!!! Currently he is in the 5th percentile for weight and I just dont like that! he is healthy, yes, and maybe I'm being silly trying to force something that he just isn't quite ready for. Or maybe he is just an extremely picky eater already?? I dont know... Anyways, I was sitting there and to my delight, he gratefully at an entire can of pureed apples and then proceeded to eat an entire jar of sweet potatoes! YES!! I was so happy... However, this was not my proud moment. My proud moment came as I was cleaning up the kitchen... I looked over at Gavin and noticed him waving. Could it be that he has already learned how to wave at such a young age? (6 and a half months)... Nooooo, I thought... So, I grabbed my phone, turned on the camcorder and began rollin. I said " HI GAVIN!" while waving like an idiot, and sure enough, he stopped, looked up at me, and waved!! We did this for about one minute and I was so proud! Proud and excited! I sent it to EVERYONE... And of course I got a flush of text messages and phone calls saying that my child was a genious, this and that...ect... Ohh what a proud moment :)

Proud moment #2 - I have officially exercised 3 times this week. I was fighting mind and body today but decided to compromise and take a walk down to the local starbucks. The weather was beautiful, I broke a sweat, and Gavin enjoyed the walk/jog as well! YESSS!! I'm starting to feel good about changing my lifestyle around for the better. Eat better and smaller portions, and make it a point to MOVE at least 5 times a week... Maybe not the gym, but just get out and get movin!

Anyhow, this was my day today... It was a good day :)
