Wow can't believe it's been a whole year since I had B! And I'm 28! He is trying to talk so much lately! He signs eat, more, all done & milk. He says bye bye all the time, but ironically hates his car seat! has said all done, hi, mama, dada,aba(which we think is for Abuela), peppa( pepper). And of course he is babbling all day long, and tells us when his brother is doing something he doesn't like! He was wearing 18-24mos but now that he is EVERYWHERE he is fitting into those 12-18mos clothes! He wears a size 4/5 diaper. His Ocean ONEders party was a blast, we had a huge bubble machine, a crab piñata, and vegan cupcakes! I even made octopus lollipops from a organic brand of lollipops. I decided not to serve coke or juice at the bday party bc that is not our lifestyle any longer and thought it just didn't suit for B's bday party, given the journey we have been on this last year with his allergies. On my bday we made pizza at home and had some take & bake everything vegan cookies from earth fare. I didnt want to go out to eat & I didnt need a cake, just my sweet family together! Derek and I were talking about the last 9 months how we have changed our ways of eating drastically, and in a way Bronson saved us from eating our way to death! On my side I'm carrying genes that make me predisposed for diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and thyroid. I'm hoping that with diet and exercise I can change my genes. In the last 9 months I have lost at least 25lbs, and my husband about the same. We both go back and forth about 5lbs! I wear mostly a size 8, use to be a 12. I fit clothes that I wore in college & when we got married. Thinking back to when I gained weight was around the last deployment when I was in grad school. Spent about 3 days in the car driving two hours to school and two hours back home, most meals back in those days was drive thru's. And with Derek gone I barely cooked. I had 2 part time jobs, & one full time internship at a psych hospital! And with my internship i got free cafeteria food the days I worked....makes me want to puke when I think of what I ate there!! Anyways, can't let this deployment be an *excuse, I have to find time for me despite being a single parent for 7 months.....which is why I can't wait to get to Dallas and do more group fitness classes at Lifetime! We have a little more than 2 weeks here in Georgia, and I am so excited to be back in Texas! I am happy that we will be busy and that will make the deployment go by fast! We are signed up for kindermusik, Dreycin will be doing soccer shots and a tots tumbling class!
We took advantage of this long weekend and moved ALOT of our stuff! All that's left is the beds, w&d, 1 couch, table, toys, misc kitchen items and a dresser. We have 14 days left in our house, And then we will be in a guest house until derek deploys. My posts have been few & far between, so my next may be in Texas!!
