Oops

I have not been a great blogger lately. In my defense, Jacob has started walking since my last post. And he is FAST! You would think he would have eased into it, but nope. Not my son. I have a feeling we are really in for it with him. He is awesome and so smart and I really love his adventurous personality. But man, that kid sure does keep us on our toes! Oh and he loves to eat food off the floor. He really has a talent for finding rogue Puffs or Cheerios that no one else can see.

We took him to Stride Rite over the weekend to buy him his first pair of shoes since he is walking and he needed a size 6! That child has the biggest feet I have every seen on a baby. He did great trying on shoes. Check out his #sickkicksfortheladies! :)

And here's another photo of the little wild man. He is obsessed with his baseball bat (and Elmo). We are doing his first birthday party in a baseball theme and I think he will love it!

In other news, Phillip and I just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary! I love that man more than I ever thought was possible and I can't believe he has been in my life for a total of 11 years! I am one lucky lady!

Oh, and I am not doing so great with not biting my nails. In fact, I have failed miserably! I had to wait at the dentist office to get a cavity filled and bit off all of my nails. Oh well...here's to second chances!

Kicking a Nasty Habit

For all of my neurotic tendencies (and yes, I have many, but we aren't going there right now) I really wouldn't consider myself to have a habit so bad that it needs to be broken. I have never touched a drug in my life, I hate smoking, and am not even a drinker really. Heck, I'm not even a big coffee drinker although I do enjoy the occasional vanilla latte and don't even get me thinking about the peppermint mocha at Christmas. Yum! I also may have a slight addiction to Dr. Pepper, but I have learned to limit myself in drinking those so it's under control.

But there is one little nasty habit that I am embarrassed about and have decided to do something about it ASAP! I bite my nails. I know, I know... Disgusting! I stopped once before and actually had pretty nails for my wedding. I am tired of having gross, stubby finger nails, so this is me officially declaring that I want to break this habit. Well, at least I will try. I have been biting my nails for as long as I can remember. But if I can stop once, then I can stop again, right??? And since I have now published this on the internets then I guess I am accountable. And I'm sure that all 2 of my blog readers will help hold me to it!

On another note, Jacob has started singing! He really likes listening to Elmo's song and will sing along to the "La La La" part. So stinkin cute!!!! But of course every time I try to video him, he quits. I can't get frustrated with him because he acts just like me!

Here goes nothing! Yikes...they look much worse in a photo!
