weight

At Brett's last doctor's appointment, he weighed in at 20 lbs. and 1 oz. He is 28 inches long. This weekend I went through some of his new clothes that still had tags on and pulled out some 9 month, 6-12 month, and 12 month items to wash. The size kind of depends upon the brand. He's definitely a growing boy! Today he wore a shades of blues and browns stripey shirt and tan corduroy overalls - so cute! After church tonight, one of our neighbors saw him and called him precious and wanted to touch his little toes.

As for my post-pregnancy weight...a little help has arrived. We've been wanting a treadmill. Don went to pick one up from his grandma in Arizona this weekend. She is getting ready to move and gave hers to us. I did my first workout on it tonight. Don did a 32 minute workout and kept "challenging" me to beat his time today...so I did! I doubled it and walked at a good pace at an incline for double that! I did 64 min. Hopefully, I can keep doing 1/2 hr. to 1 hr. workouts at least five times a week.

Other events of today = went to watch the Packer game and share a pizza. This photo is from last week's big game with Brett Favre on the rival team...the Vikings!

Brett used a Bumbo seat for the first time this weekend. A co-worker of mine let us borrow it. It does help him sit and he seems to enjoy it!

Also, he has been making the /m/ sound and we heard him say , "mom" as plain as day yeststerday when he was watching us put the treadmill together. He was able to sit in his high chair and watch us from the dining room. We propped the door to the garage open.

This is one of the letter m's I made for a rag-quilt letter swap that some of us are doing. We'll end up with a banner that reads, "Merry Christmas".
