Mason just woke up from a nap, so I have to make this quick. One of my goals this year is to be happy with myself, and in order to do that, I need to lose a pretty significant amount of weight.
Plan: Weight Watchers. I've done it in the past and was very successful with it, so I plan on using it again to assist me in my weight loss goals. I'm going to have a "Fitness Friday" post, where I will post my weight, how much I either lost or gained, and some tips for those who may be wanting to lose weight.
Today is my first day on the plan, and I will be weighing in each Thursday for my Fitness Friday posts. I'm also going to attempt to post a weekly (or maybe bi-weekly) picture of myself, for a reference on what losing 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 pounds looks like.
Yes, I said 50. I need to lose at least that. More than anything I want to feel good about myself. After having a baby, I think all mothers do. Some are freakish and can manage without a weight loss plan. I, however, am not one of those freakish people. So here is to the first day on the path to skinny town!

Snow Day
Yesterday we were lucky enough to get about a half inch of snow (maybe a little more. Of course I bundled Mason up, and we ventured outside for a brief ten minutes to snap a few pictures of him in the snow.
His little cheeks turned rosy only have after a minute or two. This is my favorite, and my picture for the day!

4 Month Well Baby Check
This morning was a hassle, as usual. Woke up at 6 to get myself ready for the day, and also get Mason up, fed, and ready for his 4 month Well Baby check. We had an appointment with the nurse practioner, Shannon, and I really liked her! She was very thorough, answered all of my questions, and took her time with my little (big) guy.
He is weighing in at a whopping 18.8 lbs now, which is more like the weight of an 8 month old. He is also 26 1/4 inches long, and looking very healthy!
Of course the little guy cried the biggest crocodile tears I've ever seen him cry as soon as the nurse gave him his shots. Bless his wittle bitty teeny tiny heart. I rocked him and held him, and then the Mr. gave me quite the pouty face, so I handed Tubs over to him and he calmed him down before we left.
We discussed starting him on rice cereal. So this is my picture for the day.
First attempt! We shall see how it goes, and I will definitely take pictures!
And to catch up, my picture from yesterday was of my favorite thing in the world. Other than Mason, and the Mr., the one thing I need to get through my day.
I'll admit it. I'm not a black coffee drinker. In fact, I don't see how anyone could drink it that way. I love my Coffee Mate and my Splenda. Gotta problem with it? Go enjoy your bitter black coffee, black coffee lovers. While I sit here at noon, enjoying another cup of my sugary (but not too sugary), creamy, tan coffee.

New Year, New Things Part 1
In most cases, even last year, I have always been against New Years Resolutions. For the most part, they are all about breaking a bad habit, losing weight, and so forth. However this year is different for me. I'm a Mom now. So what if I decide to have a few New Years Resolutions this year? Big whoop. The fun part is seeing if I can stick with them, meet goals, and all that happy crappy.
First of all, I did say that I wanted to take a picture a day. So far so good. Now if I don't have the chance to blog regularly, I may not actually post all of them. I'll attempt to, and if I do get a few days behind, I'll see if I can get them all caught up.
Mason turned 4 months old yesterday, so I took a few pictures of him in his 4 month onesie. See how big my little man is getting? Old folks don't joke when they say "Time flies". That's the damn truth.
He will have his 4 month "well-baby check" on Wednesday. Then I will be able to see how fat and long the little chubs is doing. He also gets his dreaded second round of vaccinations, which I am not looking forward to whatsoever. I've got the Mr. to accompany me to the appointment and after a good dose of baby Tylenol, well who am I kidding, it's sure to be another tear fest between Mason and I to see who can cry more like a baby. I'm sure I'll win.
In case you're wondering about the Part 1 in the title, deal with it. Actually, it's simply because I don't have time to completely finish this post about my resolutions due to the fact that my sweet little guy has just awoken from a good 12 hour slumber. Mason says "Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh Ahhhhhhhhh", which in baby language is "I'm awake, good morning, I'm happy, come get me!" So, as I gulp down the last remaining bit of my lukewarm coffee, finish the last few sentences of my post, and shake a bottle all at the same time, I think "Damn, I'm a good multi-tasker."

Time Flies When You're Baking Babies
A year ago today, I woke up, raced to CVS, purchased a pregnancy test, came home, peed on a stick, and three minutes later began to hyperventilate and shake hysterically when I discovered I was pregnant with my little Mason man.
And here I am, a year later. The happiest I've ever been in my life, with my love, the Mr., and my little love, the little Mr. I'm not going to relive all the moments of that day (because I've already done so via blog posts, so start searching if you missed that). I will always remember the day I found out I was going to be a Mom, and of course, the day I became a Mom.
So here's a little something to jog my memory, as well as make me get all Mommy-sappy and want to go and hold all of Mason's newborn clothes and smell his recently bathed baby head.
Mason's first picture
And to follow my New Years resolution, here is my first photo of the New Year!
