Happy Birthday MeMe!

Today was Jasper's MeMe's birthday. She came up for a visit with Pops, Aunt Suzy, and Nanny. We went out to eat at Ruby Tuesday which was yummy as usual. Jasper decided he did not want to take his usual naps since there was so much going on so he got a little fussy. He had SO much fun playing with everyone though. We will get to see everyone again in about 2 weeks!

Jeremy also got back from training this week. I guess he is all official now. We are going to get business cards printed ASAP! He is so excited about his new job. He has set himself some goals and I am so excited to see him so happy again. I was watching TV the other day and they said, "happy wife, happy life." I imagine that may be true for the husband but if I did not have someone as amazing as Jeremy to share that with then I would never be as happy as I am. Soooo...BUY SOME INSURANCE FROM MY HUBBY!!! It is really good supplemental insurance. Just send me a comment if you are interested!

Sitting Tall

I am so excited that Jasper is finally sitting up on his own. He is still trying to get a hang of it but he does it pretty well when he is playing with "Scout" the dog that his Aunt Mandy and Uncle Richard got him. Sorry about not having pictures but Jasper is nursing/going to sleep and the camera is across the room. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I feel like it has taken forever and I was so excited for him to get to his next milestone.

Speaking of milestones...I loved Jasper being so small, when all he did was eat and sleep but I love helping him grow and learn new things. It is just amazing to see him change!

Happy 7 month Birthday!!

Another month has flown by. I can not believe he is 7 months old today! In the past month he has gained about 2 pounds and probably grown an inch. He is starting to look so much older and his personality is really starting to come out. We are so blessed to have such a happy baby. He hardly ever fusses and as long as you are outside or letting him walk he is happy.

We still do not have any teeth but you can really feel them coming through now. I really want them to break through but I just hope he will not be a biter!

Baby weight

So I have had trouble getting rid of my baby weight. I tried weight watchers but I got tired of paying to lose .2 pounds. I have to make sure I get enough calories since I am still breastfeeding so I really can not diet. My Dr said to not even worry too much until I stop and my mom told me that she never lost any until she stopped nursing me too. So all I can do now is TRY to watch what I eat and exercise. I made sure and emphasised try because I have developed a sweet tooth. When I was pregnant, I did not want sweets so I guess my body is making up for it.

I have joined a mommy walking group and I hope this will help with the weight. It is so much more fun to walk with other people than by myself. I have met some new people that are not originally from Gardendale. The first day we walked I was sure I was going to know the people I was meeting but I was wrong. I am not sure if walking with Jasper in the stroller will be able to continue because he never goes to sleep and we always have to get him out because he starts to fuss. I may have to put him in my front carrier so that he will enjoy it a little more.

BIG changes!

The last couple of weeks have been a little crazy in the Adams' household. Jeremy now has a new job. He will begin selling insurance. He will be working for a company that he worked with when he was in college. It is a great company and there are a couple of guys that he worked with a few years ago that he will be working with. I defintely think this will be a great move for Jeremy. He has always wanted to do this and I am glad that he is able to get a job that he will enjoy a lot better that working offshore.

Jasper is growing by the minute. I got him on the scale the other day and he has gained about 2 pounds this month. He is getting taller too! I think he may be tall like his daddy. At first I wasn't sure if he was really going to be tall but he is growing lengthwise so fast. He is about to start wearing 12 month clothes! Jasper's newest thing is that he LOVES to walk around the house. Of course, he is holding onto our fingers but that is what will calm him down now when he gets fussy.

Easter

Jasper celebrated his first Easter at his Meme and Pops' house. His meme made his outfit and it turned out beautifully. I am so blessed to have a Mother-in-law that is so talented. We woke up early and went to sunrise service with Jeremy's nanny then went to the Catholic church in Butler. When we got back we ate, hunted Easter eggs, and went to visit some friends who were in town. We had a great time and can not believe how fast Jasper is growing.
