Seven Months

Kellyn is getting big so fast. She is now eating solid food, has two teeth, and is saying "Da-da" (although she won't do it on camera of course), and I think we're on the verge of crawling and sleeping through the night. Whoo hoo!

I totally organized all my pictures and videos on our new computer today. My OCD, teachery, organizer self feels such a sense of accomplishment! Here are some for your viewing pleasure...

Teethies

Are you supposed to brush baby's teeth as soon as they come in? Kellyn has two cute bottom teeth that I want to take care of! Please advise.

Eat Food

A couple of people have asked me for recipes. I decided that since I am really into cooking right now, I would try a food blog again. I attempted one a while ago that was an absolute failure. I have a better feeling about this one. I put a few posts on tonight so if you're interested in some healthy recipes, check it out here.

Six Months, Two Teeth, So Cute

To Run or Not to Run

I need some advice from my runner friends. I started running again and want to do a race this summer. I have never raced before although I used to run a lot. I think the longest distance I ever have run at one time was 6 or 7 miles and that was a couple of years ago. I have run on and off since then. I have only been running probably four or five times since Kellyn was born and I'm surprised how quickly I've improved. When I started I seriously couldn't even run for five minutes. (Probably had something to do with the feeling that all of my insides were somehow not attached anymore and they were bouncing around...oh blessed childbirth...) But I can run a couple of miles now without dying. So, here is my dilemma: Thanksgiving point is starting a half-marathon race this year. It is on April 24th. That would give me about 8 weeks to train. Could I do it? Should I do it? Would you do it? Will I burn myself out if I try to do it? Is a half-marathon too big to do for my first race? I really would like to run it. I need some input. Thank you.

Shoe Thief

Kellyn and I had some friends come over last week. Kellyn apparently decided that if we wouldn't buy her any boots, she would just steal them from her friend. Sorry about the video, I know you all get a shot of my back and bum at the beginning. (Had to hide the camera because of Kellyn's camera-issue.) Consider yourself lucky--I don't let just anyone get a close up look of my backside. P.S. I am not scratching my bum at the very beginning, I was pulling my jeans up. Hopefully my friend doesn't mind I'm putting her child on the internet. They will remain nameless to protect the innocent. After all, her baby isn't the thief.

We are waving...

...and it's adorable. Also we are dancing but we don't have a video yet. That is all.
