I did not realize it had been so long since I've posted! I wish I could get into the habit of posting everyday.

Duncan continues to amaze us by doing something new practically every day. He has recently learned how to go from on his belly to sitting up, which proved for an interesting few days with naps because he wanted to do this over and over. He's still such a good sleeper, though. We are very lucky.

He is eating pretty much everything (except nuts and honey) and it's a joy to watch him eat. I love it! We've given him yogurt recently, too, and this one of his first experiences with us feeding him. I don't think he liked it, but he accepted it.

Last weekend we went to Centre for a few hours. It was homecoming weekend, and we had a chance to walk around the new Campus Center (amazing), have lunch at Guaddy's, and meet with Ian, Mindy, and Sophie for a little while. We had a great time. Duncan was very good the whole time, and promptly fell asleep when we started on the road home. He slept the ENTIRE way home! It was wonderful. :o) Later that day, since it was Halloween, Heather was having a party at her house, so we were there a few hours. Always fun!

The time change messed with our schedules just a little bit, but I think Duncan is finally adjusting back to his "regular' routine. This morning he slept until 7:30! He still gets up 2 or 3 times a night, but like I've said before, it really doesn't bother me. I enjoy those times, kind of ... even though I barely remember them the next morning.

Last night at WW I finally got below 160! I am 159.8. :o) Less than 10 pounds until my goal weight! This may be a challenge during the holiday season, but I am determined to get there by the end of the year. Then after my 6 week maintenance period, I'll become a Lifetime Member. YAY! Which means that I won't have to pay for it anymore.

My parents have been extremely busy lately, so I'm finding things to do on my own. I kind of wish I had some friends to go out to lunch with ... but I'll figure it out. I am going to lunch with my mom later today, though. YAY!

I have been baking/cooking a lot. I made some minestrone soup last night, and Eric loved it so much that I made it again this week. I used the crock pot, which is not the most efficient way of cooking, but I don't use it that often.

No one has looked at the house in over a week. I keep telling myself that it "only takes one," but it's hard to stay optimistic when the traffic is slowing down. I really don't understand - what's not to like about our house? It's perfect for newlyweds and young families. Well, anyway, the house on Galway is still there, and hopefully we'll be in it before the end of the year.

Time to finish getting ready before Duncan wakes up!

Congrats on the weight loss!! Are you friends with anyone from playgroup...outside of playgroup I mean? Go to lunch with one of them:o) Have fun shopping today!

I am friends with them ... I suppose I could just ask them. I just haven't. Maybe I'm afraid we won't have anything to talk about? I don't know.

PS My mom bought Duncan some clothes today, and she said that she feels guilty and when you all are here she's going to take you out and buy Liam some clothes. :o)

SCORE:O)

You should try going out at least once...get a few of you to go. You never know. I just jumped right in to this playgroup and they have turned out to be some of my closest friends now. We'll do lunch while I'm there;o)
