Probation period

Evan's first day of school is today--his last year of preschool. But I'll post more about that later, after he gets home and tells me all about his day. And please God, let him not pee his pants.

As of yesterday, Grady is three months old. Wow. I'm not sure where the time went! But at three months, I'd say we're in a pretty good place. By my own at-home estimate, G is 24" long and about 15 pounds. He's got rolls upon rolls. I just love it. He's definitely a sturdy young man.

Grady's also doing a lot of different things now. He's holding his head up well, smiling and "talking" when you look at him, and rolling from belly to back. He loves tummy time, sitting in his Boppy, and having something in his hands at all times (usually a burp rag or my shirt). He doesn't like his swing, binkies, or not having someone in his line of sight at all times. He's generally a good baby, I guess, though he's not sleeping through the night in his crib or anything monumental like that. G adds that extra bit of fun to our family, and it's great.

I finally bit the bullet and went back to the Y yesterday too. I figure three months is a long enough rest, and if I ever hope to zip those jeans I'm going to need to move my ass. So I decided to start out slow, and I rejoined my swimnastics class that I went to when I was pregnant. Now, when I left, it was pretty much older women (read: over 70) doing stretches and water walking for an hour. Not anymore, sister. There's a new instructor, and some new students (many of whom replaced the older ladies) and it's a whole new ball game.

I worked my butt off, and actually got out of breath a few times, but it was a great workout. I'm even sore today! But it was so much fun, and I think it's exactly the kind of thing I need to get back in the game. I'm excited about doing something that's just for me, and something that I really enjoy again.

Speaking of me, G has dozed off. I better use this time to get something done around the house, or I'll never forgive myself! This time is short and sweet.
