Maeleigh is getting to be such a big girl lately! She is walking and trying to run all over the place and doesn't even really crawl anymore. She has also started eating with a fork and she does it very well I might add. She can show you where her nose and her mouth are, we are working on her other facial features one at a time. But she learned those two so quickly I'm sure she will know the others in no time. She also likes to "honk" your nose, which sometimes can hurt because of her little finger nails. She has also learned that a rooster says cock-a-doodle-do and it is the cutest thing when she does it. She is still loving her gym class and has really gotten over feeling shy with her new teacher and new friends. She still loves her prune juice, milk and regular juice and when she has drank all of her drink she turns her cup upside down and brings it to you so you can fix her more. She is definitely my little country girl and is loving her stroller rides more then ever! Most days it is the only way that you can get her to go to sleep. She gets SO excited when she sees her stroller and points to it and tries to climb in it. She also points to the door when she wants to go outside and starts squealing when you ask her if she wants to go outside or for a stroller ride. Not that I'm complaining because I can use the exercise and I enjoy being outside as much as she does :)

On that note, I started my new lifestyle today. I'm not calling it a diet because that is not what it is. This is my last first day of losing weight. I am going to do it this time, no ifs, ands or buts about it. I am ready to feel better and look better. And I owe it to Maeleigh to be healthy just as much as I owe it to myself. So anyway, my goal is to lose 65lbs. and I WILL reach that goal! :) Its going to be hard for a while but it's going to happen.
