First Steps!

My son took his first official steps today! It was with my hubby and since I have experienced so many of his firsts I certainly don't begrudge him this. Apparently my hubby placed our son on the floor and held his hand only four or five inches away and our son proceeded to take three or four steps all on his own to reach his daddy. I'm so excited and proud. Now I just have to grab the video camera and see if he'll do a repeat performance tomorrow!

Changing The Routine & Stopping Excuses

My husband and I have been on Weight Watchers since New Year's and we have done well for ourselves on. We have lost some forty-five pound between the two of us since the first of January and fell good about ourselves. Unfortunately at this point we have "stalled out" for lack of a better term. Our recent excuse for not doing more excersize (walking for us) has been time and, oddly enough, our son.

Usually my husband will stop at the grocery store on his way home and then by the time he gets home we end up deciding that it's too late to go out since our son will need to be in bed in forty five minutes. It's stupid and a small change in routine is all we need to get our walking time in but small changes can be so hard! Tonight we are trying something new. My hubby will meet our son and I at the park where we walk after work then he'll take him home and I'll go grocery shopping. I'm hoping that our supper won't be much later than usual which is around eight and really there is no reason for it to be since we end up waiting for our son to be in bed before eating supper ourselves. Tonight's test run of this should prove to be very beneficial and hopefully put an end to our silly excuses!
