I'm just dumbfounded that three months have gone by already. Yes, I know, time flies when you have kids! Just let me marvel in the fact that my life the last three months has been a whirlwind! (A happy one!)
Carson's favorite things right now are:
- Not wearing any clothes
- Blowing bubbles
- Drooling
- Chewing on his burp rag
- Grabbing a hold of your hands and sucking on them
- Trying to suck your face (when hungry)
- Eating
- Pooping/Farting
- Watching mommy & daddy do things around the house
- Chatting
- Grinning
I love him to pieces. Words cannot begin to describe the love I feel for Carson and the overprotective-ness I have for him. He's my world.
We had Carson baptized on Sunday and he did wonderfully! He jumped a little bit when Pastor Traxell got him with the water the first time but after that he went right back to sleep. So proud of my little guy. We then had some fabulous food catered AND delivered from Hy Vee and had a nice luncheon that was loads of fun. My house is super small, but it is wonderful when it is full of family celebrating something wonderful!
I'm already planning Easter since it is the next thing coming up. Carson is going to have the most amazing memories in our little house. Just like I have amazing memories from growing up in our tiny houses! He'll hunt eggs (next year), get a basket full of goodies, go to church, and then come back home for food and fun with his family! Can't wait! I think that will be one of my most favorite parts about being a parent. I want my children to have the same love of holidays that I have because regardless of gifts and candy, it is spent at home with loved ones and that is what's most important. (Good food helps too....)

Last Week's Weigh In:
I didn't post last week because I wasn't able to on Friday. Friday ended up being a stay at home and do laundry day because Carson had a pukey day. Kid gets so active he shakes himself up and then pukes.
Anyway, here are the results of last week, 2/27/2015:
Previous Weight: 256.4
Current Weight: 251.6
Lost/Gained: -4.8
Total Lost: -32.8
A 4.8 pound loss is fabulous for one week! I really, really like the personal coaching. Knowing that I have an action plan and that my coach is going to call me weekly to check in really helps keep me focused. I talked to her on Tuesday since I missed her Sunday call but she was very happy for me and we made a quick action plan because I'll be talking to her again so soon after tomorrow's weigh in. I am going to try and update more regularly. Promise.
I need to start taking progress pictures too. I keep saying I'm going to but don't. I did start taking my measurements though. That will definitely help show progress.

Other Things:
Not much else to update. I'm still receiving my Farmbox and loving all the delicious produce that comes in it. This week I got the cutest little plums and cannot wait to try them! I devoured everything in my last box. The other day mom and I ate the acorn squash that we were sent. I stuffed it with beans, quinoa, mushrooms, and cilantro. It was amazing! I'm going to probably add how many boxes I get a month because being vegetarian means I eat tons and tons of produce. In fact, today I have already had an orange, a banana, blueberries, and a grapefruit and it's only 11:45.
Oh, and Andrew and I are still following Dave Ramsey and the only debt left is school loans. We have worked hard, budgeted and paid off everything else! We own both cars! Such a freeing feeling to not have car payments anymore. Andrew and I are a great team when it comes to budgeting and we help each other to stick to the plan. I love Dave Ramsey's common sense approach and it has helped up tremendously!
