October Goals, Starting Today

A couple days before the beginning of the month I wrote out a bunch of goals for myself, collectively entitled “Get Your Life Together, Alexia.” There were around 10 total, including things like “lose 30 pounds” and “blog daily,” among several others that I either don’t feel like sharing or can’t remember at this moment. Clearly, I have not dedicated too much of my time or energy to Project Getting Life Together, as I have not yet lost the rest of my baby weight (I have lost 37 lbs, but it was all in September, and thus, does not count towards this month’s goal) and I definitely haven’t been blogging on any sort of regular basis. Don’t worry, I haven’t been doing any of that other stuff either. So with a month left before I go back to work, I have decided it’s time to get serious. I will be blogging on some sort of regular schedule from here on out. I am also going to lose the rest of my baby weight so I can actually fit in my work clothes, and I might even take a look at those other goals and see what else I need to be doing. Updates in blog form will ensue.

What have we been up to instead of being productive, you ask? Holland and I are both feeling pretty under the weather at the moment. I am officially sick, a result of my lack of sleep, and she is TEETHING! I couldn’t figure out yesterday why she was being so fussy…One minute happy, the next minute crying. Also, drooling. Lots of that too. My mom suggested that she might be teething, since I started that at 6 weeks, so I took a look in her mouth, and lo and behold, two little white spots on the roof of her little mouth. Combine this new discomfort with her growing ability to “talk”, and this is what you get:

She really likes to tell me all about it.
