New Year/New Start


Now a new year is here, so I decided to start the blog up again. I made it through Thanksgiving, Christmas, my birthday and my free time is finally back for some short chunks of time during the day.

I feel like I've been mentally and emotionally gone for a while. Ashton has been a challenging baby. All of my time was spent holding him, catching up on sleep, or trying to figure out why he was crying--usually there was nothing I could do. He also only attached to me, so I was the only person he would calm down for. Now he is doing much better since he is weaned and sleeps through the night.

Here are some of my favorite moments from the last few months.



JONAH
We have been potty training and it's going well. A few weeks ago as he flushed the toilet he waved bye bye to his poop and said, "Bye, bye poo poo. I wuv you!"


ASHTON
Ashton is now 7 months old. He is crawling now and very anxious to walk. He already pulls himself up and stands next to the couch and his toys. He is much happier now that he can move. He eventually finds me though.




CHRISTMAS
My parents were here for Christmas. It was so nice to have them here and the kids loved spending time with them.



I'm holding my new "So you think you can Dance" workout video. I'm totally going to get into pre baby shape this year.

Michelle, I'm so happy you're back too! Even though i see you all the time, I totally missed reading your updates on your blog. So, first I have to tell you that the picture of you in this post is HOT! That long gorgeous hair (ALL REAL, hee, hee) and that coat you're wearing is HOT. I love it! I want it! You look beautiful!
