6 Months ALREADY?!

This is Alexander when I first put him in the tub.



This is Alexander at the end of his bath...still smiling. He loves bath time and he LOVES to splash!

He turned 6 months last Friday. I can not believe how fast he is growing up. Alexander is now 28 1/4 inches long and 17.2 pounds. His two bottom teeth broke through and he likes to chew on teething cookies and apples. Actually, he wants to taste everything we eat. Luckily he doesn't seem to be a picky eater. Lets hope it stays that way.

He still loves reading time and is so close to crawling. He is a wiggle worm. I know he'll be into everything once he is mobile.

Goals- Update

Here is an update on the new years goals,

1. I am not training for the Wasatch Back or the Ogden Marathon anymore, but I am still planning on running the Salt Lake Half Marathon. Between school work, church callings, Alexander and the family sickness that keeps circulating, I just can not seem to keep a good training/running schedule. The good news is...
2. we have lost some weight. Gordon has lost over 20 pouns since Christmas and me, 12. It is amazing just how quickly men can lose weight...it seems like I have to work double time. Workouts have been rather enjoyable...we start out playing an hour of racquetball with other teams (doubles or cut-throat)and then do another hour of weights or cardio. The slim-quick weight lose commercial keeps coming to mind.."Now we're both unhappy." chuckle!!
3. I am much more peaceful when driving. I still catch myself getting tense and irritated every once in awhile, expecially when I am running late to get somewhere. The key for peaceful driving for me.....leave plenty early so I can take my time getting to the location and really listen to music instead of hearing "noise."
4. Last goal- to graduate. So far the grade in my class is on track so I can graduate. Lets pray it stays that way! :o) As for the rest, the previous blog explains it all.
