Just to say...

I finally did it, I joined Weight Watchers. It's been something I've been wanting to do for sometime and I finally did it. It's been just a week now and I've already lost some weight, YAY me! I can't really tell though...I've signed up for three months to begin with, we'll see how it goes.

Here are some up to date pictures of the kiddies.

Thanks Giving

Happy Thanks Giving to all my Canadian family and friends! Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

Can you believe that it has been eight years for us already! Time flies the older you get. LOL Happy Anniversary to us.

O is now starting to pull herself up onto her feet. I found her this morning standing in her crib. This led to the lowering of the mattress.

J is eating and sleeping great once again. The sores in and around his mouth can still be seems but they are healing nicely.

This picture is of him after his dentist visit last week. The dentist gave him gloves and a mask to play with. How nice was that?

J update

Well J's mouth is still sore and he is still having problems eating and sleeping. The ointment is helping and J is willing to open his mouth for me to put it on his gums so that is good. Some of the sores are going away, the outside ones are drying up but still bother him. He now has a couple on his tongue. He is eating better though and drinking isn't a problem now. Hopefully his attitude will get better and I can get some sleep tonight! I need a nap!

J's Mouth

First J's mouth is coming up with so many new words lately and a awesome willingness to copy anything we said, it's really amazing.

J's mouth is also the cause for some concern. He has a bad infection of the lips and gums that is causing sores (in and out) and swelling. The dentist gave me some ointment to numb the pain but we just have to let it run its course before he'll feel better. He has been sleeping well because of it therefore neither has Mommy and he has been eating well...hopefully it will pass quickly.

Little Girl

O is growing too fast for my own good! She is six and half months now and crawling. She is cutting four new upper teeth and has discovered the cat's tail.

The temperature has dropped this week from 99F (37C) to 81F (27C). The last two mornings it has been 66F (19C)! J loves it because he can go outside in the middle of the day. O wants to get down the play too but with a dirt yard I haven't allowed that.

Yesterday J had a fun experience. We had just gotten home and were still getting out of the car when the garbage truck picked up the garbage across the street. I took my time getting O from the car so it would be back to our side before we headed in for lunch. We watched it pick up the can and toss the content into the back then the driver waved at J and blew the horn! J thought that was great...O didn't, she didn't stop crying until we got into the house.

We went to the park on base this morning...O was cold and I was chilled. (Can you believe that?) There was a group of moms there from the YMCA on base. I got to talking to one of them and I think I may head over there next week to see what they have for J's age. I think he would love it and it would be great interaction for him with other kids and for myself with adults.
