Oh the joys of teething!

So the last couple of days have been crazy at the house. Jasper is teething and it is really bothering him. We are all ready for these next teeth to come in. He is drooling constantly and is trying to bite me all the time. I know he is not trying to bite me just to bite because he has never done that but his poor teeth are hurting so bad that I just can not get too mad.

Today, Jasper was so funny playing. Since he is walking around so good now he plays a lot more alone and all over the house. Thank goodness we do not have stairs to worry about! If Jasper is not in my eyesight, all I have to is say his name and he toddles to wherever I am. Lately, he has been playing with a curtain rod from the kitchen and you can hear it dragging across the tile so we know where he is at when he is playing with that.

He is getting so big and is slowly being able to get on all fours and rock. He has been army crawling but has not actually crawled on all fours. I hope he does not decide to do this in the next day or so since Jeremy is gone to Georgia.

I am hoping to keep up my blogging better now that Jasper is sleeping in his crib and I can type a lot easier and not go to bed so early. I just have to start going to bed earlier than I have in the last week so that I am not worn out the next day!

Allergies

It's official, Jasper has a milk and egg allergy. He also had a slight reaction to wheat but he has eaten it before and not had a reaction so I will just have to watch that too. This should be a fun adventure for at least the next year. We will go again next year and they will re-test him to see if there are any changes. Hopefully, he will grow out of this but if not I will grow to be a creative cooker! I have already had a lot of great suggestions on what to give him, recipes, help from others who have dealt or are dealing with this.

Day 1

We got the 30 day Shred DVD in today and I popped it in tonight and did it! I feel like jello but I do not care what it takes. Jeremy is leaving early in the morning to meet the book selling kids so I did it alone tonight. Jeremy has no other excuse from now on. We are going to jump on this train together. The people at Weight Watchers say that you do better when you have a partner. Jeremy is not only my partner in life but he is going to be my workout partner to make sure I stick with it. Let's see how it goes!

30 Day Shred

So I have had such a hard time trying to lose my baby weight. I am not sure if it is because I am still nursing and my hormones are still just crazy. I do not know why but I am tired of carrying it around. I do not feel like myself and we are hopfully going to Mexico in November and I DO NOT want to look like this in Mexico. I ordered the 30 Day Shred off of eBay and I should get it in a couple of days. Jeremy and I have decided to do it every night after we put Jasper to bed. I am glad I have Jeremy on my side and he also wants to lose his "baby" weight. He gained weight with me while I was pregnant, hehe. After I get it in, I will try to update on how it is going.

Sleep

Well, let me update everyone. Jasper is now walking all over the house! He follows me like a puppy dog. He is still not crawling but he is trying a lot more now. He is just a little backwards, hehe. Last week, Jeremy and I decided to finally put Jasper in his crib. I was so nervous because I have read so many horror stories. The first night he slept 8 hours and from then on he sleeps almost 10 hours in his bed then another hour and a half in ours in the morning! We would have put him in his bed earlier if we knew we had such a good sleeper!

Jasper is growing up so fast. H is such a giggle box and wakes up smiling and happy. We could not ask for a better child. Jeremy and I were talking about when we have our next one and that we are going to be so nervous because Jasper is just SO good and could we actually have another that will so good? Hopefully so but it will be a few years before we really have to worry about that.

I am starting to plan his birthday party. It is going to be a lil' tiger theme. I did not want it to be too themey(sp?) but since we are such big Auburn fans, I thought this would be a cute way to do it baby style. Poor Jasper is going to have to deal with his birthday being during football season. The Auburn game is not a big game this year but Alabama will be playing Florida at home so I do not expect any of my Alabama friends to come. I understand the importance, sort of!
