Somebody has been bad....

Yes, I know, I am sorry. I have been a very, very bad blogger lately. But between a baby with a cold, dentist appointments, doctor visits, work, and trying to be a domesticated little diva I just am having a hard time keeping up! Ok, ok, enough feeling sorry for myself ;) Starting today, February 5th, I promise to be better and to put aside a few minutes to update you on our lives! Here's a recap of January. Seriously, can someone PLEASE tell me where January went??? I didn't even get a chance to make any New Year's resolutions.....


....except one. Our only real, true new year's resolution for 2008 was this: Get Fit. I know, I know, it sounds cliche, but that's until you find out what I really mean by that. Some of you may remember back in April we sold my baby Bugablu version 2.0. So for NINE FULL MONTHS we only had one vehicle. Now, that wasn't a big deal at all when my husband was in another state and never needed to borrow the car, but then he came back. And we had a baby. And he started a job. And I had NO CAR! This was unacceptable, of course. A mommy needs to be able to escape from mommy prison (aka home) every once and a while, so over Christmas vacation we resolved to buy a new car as soon as we returned. After going back and forth trying to decide what would be the perfect, er, "fit", we ended up with this:

"What is that?", you ask. Well, my friends, THIS is the 2008 Honda Fit! It's Tim's brand-spankin'-new-non-gas-guzzling-get-around-town machine. And he loves it. And so do I :) It's kind of like a 4 door version of my little Bugablu, so I have fully embraced it. And it is a standard, which reminds me of poor lightning struck Bugablu version 1.0, so I love it that much more. Tim drives all over the Dallas- Fort Worth area for work, so this car is just perfect for him. He's been driving it for a month now and so far no complaints! Yay for us getting our only new year's resolution crossed off the list!

So, what else have we been up to? Well, Jake has had a cold for a couple weeks now. We took him into the pediatrician and they told us there is pretty much nothing we can do but ride it out. So that's what we've been doing. We use the aspirator (aka Booger Getter) a LOT and Jake has learned to twist and turn very well to block us from sticking that thing up his nose. Our child now weighs 18 lbs. Actually, probably more now since it has been a week or two since he was weighed. He is getting better and better at eating his veggies. He's now had butternut squash, carrots, acorn squash, and avocados. So far he seems to like avocados the best. He definitely has the love of Mexican food in him :)

In adult news, Tim has joined a softball team and they had their first game this past weekend. He had a blast and their team won! Go Novocain! Jake and I had a great time cheering them on since the weather was PERFECT - I'm talking 80 degrees people! We are looking forward to spending more time outside with all of Tim's games before it gets too hot here in North Texas.

Not much is new with me. I decided that I am not as bad of a cook as I originally thought. I've been planning out our meals weekly and have been executing them quite well! Only one has turned out just absolutely horrendous (but I'm not taking the blame because I followed the recipe EXACTLY!) and the rest have been pretty tasty! I also discovered the Razor scooter which I now love and want. Really bad. I borrowed it from our little neighbor girl and had so much fun cruising up and down the street while Tim played basketball with the neighbor boys. I'm hoping Tim will read this and get a good hint for Valentine's day :) (I like the pink one, honey!)

Oh, and yesterday was our TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!! Thank you to all of you who thought of us and sent us emails and cards. We have had an incredible two years and just feel so blessed to be living our life together. I really am so thankful to have such an amazing, funny, hard-working, perseverant husband. It's such a great thing to spend every day with your best friend!

Ok, so without further ado, here are the photos you have all been waiting for. The beautiful, charming, and oh so chubby and scrumptious Jakey!
