The half way mark

My sweet little Mason is now 6 months and he has my heart! There is something special about that little boy and every time I look into his blue eyes I feel it. He has the cutest smile and is so fun. He is now an expert at rolling over and even tries to do it when I'm changing his diaper. He likes to play with his toes and he is especially ticklish on his feet. He makes some very cute sounds and likes to get in on the conversation. We are still looking for teeth, but I'm sure they are on their way. He has been sleeping through the night for about two week and it's wonderful!! I have been trying to give him cereal and we started some baby food. Today was the first day that he actually ate it and didn't spit it out too much. I took him to the doctor today for his check up and shots. He is a healthy boy!!

I am at the half-way mark for my training for the 5K!!! Go me!! I am so impressed that I have actually followed through with this. It feels great. Today I ran for 8 minutes then walked for 2 minutes and ran for 8 more. Five weeks ago I could barely run for 2 minutes. In addition to my training for the 5K, I joined Weight Watchers 2 weeks ago and I've been doing pretty good. I weigh in tomorrow so we'll see for sure. It was eye opening when I started to see how much I was actually eating. More importantly, what I was eating. I won't lie and say it's been easy, but I haven't been suffering through it. It feels good knowing that I am working towards something. SO, I'm hoping to go on a fabulous shopping spree when I quit breast feeding in October. We shall see!!

Keith is starting a new job next Monday. It is such a blessing in this economy that he was able to find this job. He just barely had started looking because we knew that things at his current position were uncertain. So for now things are looking pretty good. It is always scary making the transition, but Keith is very excited and I am just glad that he has a job!
