Our baby girl is getting so big and I just love all the new stuff she is up to! I've been slacking on the weight loss stuff...I think my love of food and my hatred of exercise get in the way of any actual weight loss occurring. Paul is still on The Biggest Loser: Afghanistan Edition and I had told him I was going to do yoga today and then Em fell asleep in the car and not at home so instead I took her for a walk. Usually I put her in the car seat, put it on the stroller, and off we go. And then she usually fusses until she falls asleep. Not very relaxing or enjoyable for either of us. So tonight I decided to try and put her in the stroller, no car seat.

| Hey, what's up? |
Little ham loved it! She wore her sunglasses with pride (thanks Aunt Brittney & Uncle Corey) and didn't even try to take them off (it may be because they were strapped around her head). There was no fussing and no sleeping. It has definitely motivated me to walk more with her because she seemed to enjoy being outdoors so much. I even signed up for Stroller Strides today to try out a few times before we head to Florida. I figure I'll meet some mom's in my area and get some exercise in at the same time. And Tuesday we are going to an infant playgroup for the mom's group I joined.
I used to make fun of the military spouses who didn't work because it seemed like I was the only spouse who had a job and now I am loving my new status as the typical military spouse...staying home, raising babies. I never thought I'd be so traditional, but here I am.
On my walk I was thinking about what it takes to make a happy relationship and while I posted my thoughts on this in SUYL--Marriage Advice I was also thinking today that it is really about a genuine desire to put your partner or spouse first. In return they should also put you first. I know that putting Paul and Emma first in my life (after God) makes me happy which in turn makes me a better wife and mother. If you are in a relationship in which your partner puts themselves first then it's time to find a new relationship. Unfortunately a lot of women don't think they deserve a partner who cherishes them or puts them first and so they take what they can get without a true understanding of their own worth. I have a friend who is in a relationship like that now and it makes me sad because I think she is an awesome person and I know the guy she is with doesn't realize that and is not her true love. He puts himself first and doesn't seem to realize what a gem he has. I just pray for the day that she wakes up and realizes that God has someone out there who is perfect for her and breaks up with her boyfriend so that she can find that perfect person. Her boyfriend is a nice enough guy...he is not just the guy.
I am off to bed. We are going to church tomorrow and yes, I double checked the time. lol
