Losing weight

I know almost everyone makes the new years resolution to lose weight. Jeremy and I are both trying. It is a lot harder to lose weight by yourself so I am glad Jeremy is finally on board. We did really good for a couple of weeks but we are now in a slump. As some of you know, I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome.) In other words, it is really hard to lose weight and very easy gain it. The fist 2 weeks I was steadily losing weight. It was not much but anything was exciting for me. The next week, I was back up to my starting weight which was frustrating. I have not been able to lose any of my baby weight. My Dr put me on some medicine to help me and it worked great before but has seem to have lost its touch this time. I am going to give it more time and try to make some more changes so that hopefully I can get healthier.

Jeremy is doing well. I have been his little cheerleader and I think it is working. We have made our own little thermometer that is in the kitchen to try to get to certain goals. Hopefully, I will get to color in more soon!

Jasper is growing day by day. He is saying new words everyday. His new favorite thing is to turn the tv in our bedroom on and off. He has learned to say off very well so anytime he has the chance to use it he does. He is climbing all over too! He can get on the coffee table and almost on the couch. I am so glad he happy and healthy. We are truly blessed to have such a great child!

Sorry for the wait!

I have been a slump the last couple of months and have just not felt like blogging. I am amazed at how different I feel now that I am working out on a pretty regular basis. My grandmother passed away in December so the holidays have been tough. So to stop with all the depressing talk...Jasper is growing SO fast!

Jasper had his 15 month check up and he was 32.5 inches tall and weighted 24 lbs and 5 oz. I am still so amazed on how fast children grow and how everyday is so different. He had met and exceeded all of his developmental goals. I am pretty proud of Jasper because he catches on so fast to everything. He signs and is trying to talk. He does carry on conversations but I am not really sure what he is saying at this point.

Jeremy is working hard and is protecting lots of families! We have actually been able to go out without Jasper since his birthday. Jeremy has worked so hard over the last few months that he earned a trip to Mexico and to Miami for us. We were Jasper free for both trips and it was almost like having two mini-honeymoons. It is still hard for me to get used to leaving Jasper with someone but I have definitely enjoyed my time with just Jeremy.
