Ethan's First "Real" Haircut

I have cut Ethan's hair before but it was never very much at a time. I have not cut it since before Lily was born and she is 5 months! It was long over due. I really liked his hair long but I could tell it was starting to bother him.

Here he is before:

Here he is now:

It was really hard to get him to sit still to cut it even with Eli's help. I put on some music and we sang and danced while I cut a bit here and there. It's a little wonky in a few places but it will do!

It's taken me a few days to get use to it but he seems happy that it's not in his face anymore. It's nice and cool for our HOT Texas summer. 

Lily Dawn 4 Months Old

My Sweet Lily. 4 Months old already. (5/11/11)

She weighs 14lbs 11oz and is 24 inches long.

She is still sucking her thumb!

She is rolling both from belly to back and from back to belly.

She loves to smile. She loves her big brother.

She is reaching for toys and putting them right into her mouth.

She is wearing size 6-9 month clothes.

Her eyes are dark blue and sometimes I see some green.

We love our little Lily Bean!

I fell off the wagon this week. I didn't count points. I didn't care what I ate. I ate chips and salsa. I ate ice cream and cake and I didn't even care. Not sure why I didn't care but I didn't. So I'm thankful I only gained .8. I guess everyone has these kinds of weeks.

We are off for vacation this Saturday so I won't post next week. I'm going to have a good time and not worry about the pounds!

I had my post written and published yesterday and I don't know where it went. If it shows up again please don't think I'm crazy for writing two Weekly Weigh In's this week!

I'm excited to hit 15lbs lost! Less then 4lbs away from my 10%. It was my birthday yesterday and I don't think I ate one vegetable. I did eat some fruit if you count the strawberries with sugar on top of my cake topped with real whipped cream (thanks Eli!).

I do want to start exercising so I walked a few times last week. Every little bit helps.

It feels good to hit that 15lb mark! Less then 4lbs away from 10%. Today's my Birthday so I'm going to eat whatever I want but I didn't plan well because I would have had more tasty things in the house. Like Funyuns. or brownies. That is probably good. I may stick the kids in the stroller and walk to the corner store to buy some. I'll burn most of the calories off that way!

I really need to start exercising. I know I would lose more/faster that way. Plus firm up the flabby parts.

Well, I didn't make my 10% goal yesterday but I did lose 1 lb.  I'm re-goaling myself for June 3. I'm sure I can lose 5lbs by then! I'm making it a long time because I have various vacations/reunions in the next month with lots of great food.

Go see Brandy- She gives away cool stuff!! I won!!!
