7 months later...

I'm proud to say that I have a healthy, very happy, crazy baby boy.

This kid is the light of my life, every time he smiles at me I fall more in love with him.

my best friend

 

The last 7 months have flown by, I now know what people mean when they say "don't blink"!

Marshall is now an exceptional crawler, except sometimes his arms don't move quite as fast as his legs and he face plants, but he gets right back up

and proceeds to get into everything and anything he can reach.

He's a great eater, he likes eggs, applesauce, leaves and magazines.

 

He pulls himself up on anything he can reach, stable or not.

This also means he falls a lot, thank goodness he got his dads toughness.

I don't think it will be too much longer before he decides he's ready to walk!

 

 

My life is nothing like it was a year ago... everything I do is for Marshall now.

 

I've adopted a healthy lifestyle.

My eating habits have changed, my exercise habits have changed (or should I say emerged?) and the people who I choose to allow into our lives are all positive, healthy, good people.

I've let go of a few people who don't add to my happiness or the happiness of my son.

 

Yesterday I even went back to work!!

I am not at all excited about being away from Marshall, but I also want him to have a good life,

and I know that means he needs to be able to rely on other people sometimes.

Luckily, Mitch is understanding and supportive so I only have to work a couple days a week.

I am SO thankful for that. I can't imagine not being able to raise my own child.

I have absolutely nothing in life to complain about, other than the weather ;)
