Peek-a-boo!!

Today Noel has started playing peek-a-boo with me. She'd cover her face with a blanket and I'd say "Where's Noel? Noel's gone." and then pull it off and I'd say "There she is!"

She did it for 20 minutes or more - she REALLY liked it!! I got a short snippet of it at the end, I think she was getting bored with it.

And last night Tim said "It's Dada"and she repeated "Dada" every time. Then he was like "Who am I?" and she said "Dada". It was so sweet! I'm still trying to get her saying "mama" but so far it hasn't taken ;-)

She'll be 7 months old tomorrow!

For now I'm enjoying being home with her, but I've realized quick that I can't just keep myself cooped up in the house all the time. Yesterday I was getting cabin fever - I think stay-at-home moms must have regular outings. I keep thinking "no, I need to stay in so that I don't spend money on gas, or food, or whatever", but if I do that 7 days a week, I really go crazy!

Yesterday I ran into C'ville to deposit my severance check and do some grocery shopping (even though I forgot like 5 items on my list!! Hate when I do that...)

I ate really poorly yesterday...I stopped at Wendy's on my way home (my rationalization for that was that I hadn't eaten since breakfast), then at the store I got chocolate iced kreme filled doughnuts, of which I ate THREE last night.

Today is my first day of a healthier lifestyle! I still have 9 pounds of baby weight to lose! (Which I've been down to since 11 days postpartum) All of my summer clothes are too small, so my options are 1)get new clothes. And I can't really afford to do that or 2)Lose weight! I figure since I have so much more free time now, it'll allow me to have time to work out a little and plan our meals a little better.
