6 MONTHS OLD!! How is motherhood going?

I really no longer feel like I just had a baby. In fact, it all seems like a distant blur that happened years ago! Okay well maybe not years ago. Still not ready to have another one though, lol. Maybe when Caleb's about a year & a half, we can try for another one. Just the thought crossing my mind, omg. That's next July!

Updates on the mom front...

I'm tired all the time it seems. There are a few nights when I've gotten some really good chunks of sleep. We dropped a night feeding, so Caleb will sleep for 9-10 hours. It's rare if he wakes up for a night feeding now. If he does, it's usually between 1-3am. Anyway, I don't go to bed right when Caleb falls asleep (although I should), so I find myself getting 5-6 hours of decent sleep. I still wake up tired and will nap whenever Caleb naps.

I'm doing pretty well with weight loss. For a while, I kept yo-yo-ing from 136-139 lbs.. but just recently I went grocery shopping for nothing but healthy foods, and right now I'm at 135 lbs. Eating healthy definitely works. I've been running and going to the gym as well. I feel like that gives me more energy whenever I do. I don't always get an exercise in though, but I make sure to compensate for it on my next workout. I have abs again! Not saying that they're abs of steel, but you can feel them and see the outline of it starting to come in. I'm slimming down a little, and I've definitely gotten stronger. I'm lifting more at the gym! And I can definitely give credit to this guy below! He's super heavy.

Anyway, I can't believe this boy is 6 months! (and he's about to be 7, since I'm updating this blog so late.. he's been 6 months for 2 weeks now, lol) He's growing too fast!! I feel like we're hitting that age where they just learn at lightning speed.

New developments include...

Sitting! Caleb is able to sit without support for long periods of time now, but we like to keep pillows around him because he still falls over on occasion. 

Eating! Although we started solids at 4 months, he has gotten better since then! He loves to eat real food :)

Caleb's 6 month check up isn't 'til next Tuesday. Can't wait to see how he's growing. He's been in 6-9 month clothes for a while now. Everyone says he's a big boy, so we'll see just how big he really is!

Love,

Tiare
