Staying Busy

This week I have a lot to work on. Jamie's grandmother is wanting to write a book of the memories she's made through her lifetime. I think it's an AWESOME idea and Jamie and I agreed to help her get all of her thoughts and what she has written down in a readable format. So, my job this week is to compile everything that's on files and everything on paper and get it all typed up so we can read though it and edit the document. She was born in 1927 and I love reading what she has to say and thinking about how much life she has lived! 

I'm just starting, and I already have to take tons of breaks to feed Drake, play with him and put him down for naps. So,  I feel like the only time I get in a good rhythm is when he's napping.

I can keep an eye on Drake while I write.

Drake has been starting to get up on his hands and knees this past week and rock back and forth. He moves his knees up like he's trying to crawl, but he doesn't understand that he has to move his arm at the same time and he just falls over. I feel like he is going to be crawling VERY soon. He's always in the ready-to-crawl position when I get him from his crib or if I walk back in the room.In my steamer/blender I made squash and zucchini for the week. I gave Drake squash and avocado last night and he ate every bit of both! He is getting the hang of opening his mouth and actually getting the food in his mouth. I love trying new foods because his faces are so funny. He looks at me like, "Are you sure this is ok to eat?!"

It's been raining so much in Houston. Like we have a flash flood warning about everyday, it's so ridiculous. Saturday we were trying to get out of the house. I feel like I've been cooped up because the only time Drake and I get out is to go to the gym, so we decided to go somewhere indoors (because it was STILL RAINING) and the Galleria was the only logical choice. BAD DECISION. First of all, this mall is MASSIVE. I don't even think we saw 1/4 of the mall. I forgot my cell phone at the house and got separated from Jamie and Drake and had a mini panic attack because there were thousands of people there and there was no way I was going to find them. But, I finally spotted them and felt the blood start flowing through my body again after feeling panicky and numb. AND I didn't even buy anything! Needless to say, I don't think we'll be making that hour and a half trip again. I also have a new found love for my home and living in the BURBS. We rented some movies and Jamie made dinner. What a fabulous night in! 

Shrimp fried rice!

Obviously Jamie picked the movies. Act of Valor was really good.

I've been going to an all women's gym, which I LOVE because you never have to worry about not being able to use certain weights, the locker room is more like a spa, the day care is GREAT and we have classes pretty much all day everyday. So, I've been going to classes for about a month now and I have so much fun. The first time I went to Zumba I could not help but laugh the entire time because I'm disturbingly uncoordinated. I'm sure everyone in there was probably laughing at me too. However, I really think my moves have improved and it's one of my favorite classes. 

So, I'll be writing and gyming it up this week! 

Tomorrow Drake will be 6 months! I'll be posting pictures!!
