6 Months!

I finally got his 6 Month picture today. He wasn't in the mood for smiling! lol

He's such a little man! <3

6 Months!

Today my little boy is 6 months old!

He had his 6 month check up bright and early this morning. He now weighs 18 pounds 15 ounces and is 25 1/2 inches long!

He loved messing with the paper on the table.

He got 3 shots today :( I hate hearing him cry so hard. It was time for him to eat so right after his shots he had a bottle and it calmed him down and he fell asleep in the car. 

After that we went to breakfast. Normally he is fussy most of the day after shots but he was such a happy baby today. He laughed and smiled the rest of the day! Thank god!

We then went to Whole Foods. I freaking LOVE that place! Since I've been eating healthy this last month it's just so easy to go in there and find stuff. And our Whole Foods is in a fancier part of town so it's on the cutest street where there's other cute shops and restaurants. You actually have to park in a parking garage.

Before we went in Whole Foods there's a store linked to them that is called Whole Body. I have never seen one in any other city I've been in but they have the coolest stuff. They have tons of stuff for your body that is all natural like soaps, pills, deodorants, bath salts, shampoos. You name it!

This is what I got...

The top left looks like sweet potatoes but it's not lol It's a yummy smelling body scrub. They have all of the scrubs in salts in containers and you get how ever much you want and weigh it. Love it! The yellow one is a bath soak. And then the bottom two are soaps. The pink is like grapefruit something. I forget but it smells yummy and then tan one is almond. I planning on using the soaps for when I make my own laundry soap. You grate the soaps and you add it with a bunch of other stuff.

 More on that later!

We walked down to Anthropologie and there was a little store that had side walk chalk outside so I just had to...

Then we went to Whole Foods. Shopped and had lunch there. I swear it's the coolest store ever.

After that we went to Blake's dads. Where little man thought he was a big boy...

His hair is blonde! Crazy since it was super dark when he was born.

After that we went home where he played and napped and is now asleep. So needless to say we didn't get his 6 month picture done today but I will def do it in the morning!

He's getting so big it's crazy!

Weight loss update and cuteness

I'm down 6.7 pounds so far! Yay!

I kinda suck at sticking with a certain exercise program but I am determined to stick with the 30 day ab challenge this time. Starting today...again!

and....

Look who is a big boy holding his juice cup by himself!

Love him!

Corn Salad

Last week we went to dinner at a local restaurant/bar called the Corner Pub.  

My mom order catfish and one of her sides was corn salad. It looked interesting but I tasted it and loved it. It looked simple enough to make on my own.

then...

I checked my favorite food blog skinny taste today and they just so happened to post this same recipe recently. Not to mention on my lunch break I bought 3 ears of corn. It was meant to be!

Instead of making corn on the cob like I planned I made Corn salad.

I used a variation of both recipes and this is what I came up with...

3 ears of corn, raw and cut off the cob

1/2 of a red onion, diced

1 fresh jalapeno, diced (no seeds)

1/2 of a tomato, diced

1 scallion, diced

1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese

dash of salt 

dash of pepper

dash of garlic powder

4 tbsp light mayo
3 tbsp greek yogurt

You can also add cilantro

Mix all of the vegetables and cheese together and then add the light mayo and greek yogurt.

End result

You could serve it cold or warm and you could also add anything you want like cream cheese instead of the mayo and yogurt.

Since I'm counting calories I figured it up and it's approx. 115 calories per serving (1/2 cup). And makes about 6 servings.

Enjoy!

Bedtime!

Lately I love putting Levi in really cute pajamas. I found this outfit for only $1.99!

He's getting so big!

<3

Big boy bed time!

I finally finished cleaning out Levi's dresser. I was super sad to see that he never even wore half of the stuff and a lot of it was so cute! :(

Here's what is getting passed on to a friend...

I must have gotten excited while prego and did just a little to much shopping!

Now he has plenty of room for his big boy clothes as I call them.

This picture is awful but we went to dinner tonight. He LOVES sitting up like a big boy so he can look at everything.

And then he got a bath which he loves! I'm pretty sure he could sit in the tub all night if I let him.

His new trick is to stick his foot up to let the water hit it lol

Extra close up but you can see his pretty eyes and lashes he gets from his daddy :)

All ready for bed. 

He looks so big in this picture!

Ever since the day we brought him home he has always slept in his rock and play sleeper. It just seemed to be more comfortable for him and I felt more comfortable with it because it sits him up at an angle in case he spit up. But now that he's getting so big tonight we're putting him in his crib. Sad face!

Moving on up...

Levi went shopping with Mommy today! Not like it's different from any other day but...he's growing out of his 3-6 month clothes :(  He's going into the 6 month and 6-9 month stuff :( He's growing to fast!

Tonight I'm cleaning out his dresser and giving the stuff that is to small to a friend that is having a little boy in a few months. It'll be the first time I've given any of his clothes away. Kinda sad. I am saving some of the things that he wore a lot when he was a newborn until now and making a book out of them that I found on pinterest. I'll post it when I get it finished!

He's getting so big!
