Luvin' my babies!

I just absolutely love seeing how Phil's personality has begun to bloom. Everyday I see more and more of it. He is such a sweet and caring little boy, it just melts my heart. Aside from loving to draw pictures, he also loves hanging out with his little brother. They lay on the blanket together outside and Phil talks to him. No doubt he's telling him all about how to get around Mommy's rules. Phil really likes his new home, mostly because this is the first time he has ever had stairs. He goes up and down the stairs all day long, climbing up, then sliding down on his belly. Oh! And for the first time yesterday he started eating a whole apple without me cutting it up. He just picked it up and started munching!

Danny is a little sweetheart, too. I adore his innocent little smile. Can you imagine being so tiny, and everything you ever see or do is brand new? I try to imagine what it would feel like, maybe it's the same way astronauts feel when they go to outer space. Danny's favorite thing to do right now is sit in his car seat and play with the links hanging down. He coos and slaps at them and it's so cute to watch! I try to keep him awake as much as possible, just hoping to see him do something cute and memorable. Maybe that's why he is sleeping so well at night. Last night he slept for nine hours before waking up to eat, then going back to sleep.

On a sadder note, my weight loss seems to have come to a plateau. I guess I'm going to have to start working out again now. I have lost 30 pounds though, and I think it will be pretty easy to get to my goal as long as I put forth some sort of effort. (Not something I'm known for.) I prefer to just have fun and do whatever I want, but apparently that doesn't make you look like the smokin' 20 year old you once were.

What I'd give to be in that good of shape again!
