I can't believe it is August already! Time just flies these days. Mike and I decided that at the end of September we are going to Vegas...alone. Our relationship is so much more different when we are alone. Can't wait to cut loose...foot loose (sorry had to throw that in). Anyway, B's bottom tooth finally cut and now you can feel the sharpness along his gums. 3 more to go (that I can see). He is getting so brave lately. Yesterday he was playing with his friend (ok my friend) Ariana and all of a sudden I see both hands up in the air over the half wall. I asked Ariana if he was balancing his tummy on the table and she said "no, he stood for a split second!" So naturally when they left I tried to get him to do it again. I placed at the edge of the coffee table and I sat on the couch, held out my hands and told him to "come to mama". He let go and took one step, then crashed to the ground on his butt! Needless to say he didn't try again. I think he will be walking before his first birthday. My biggest fear though, is if he takes his first steps while we are gone in Vegas. I so don't want to miss it.

*********Note to Grandmas that are watching B while we are gone- DO NOT ENCOURAGE WALKING WHILE WE ARE GONE PLEASE**************

This is the best picture I could get, you can see his shining tooth on his bottom left. Hard I know, but it is fully there. The top two are right there too.

On another note, I am doing a 5K at the end of August. I probably already mentioned this previously. I'm not a runner so this is a real challenge for me. According to the running program I'm doing, I should be able to run 2 miles now. HAHAHA. I modified this a bit. On my run I took a wrong turn and ended up running up a hill for 7 minutes of my 10 min run cycle. It pretty much took everything out of me and ruined the rest of the run. I couldn't complete my next 10 min run after my 2 minute recovering. Then I started gagging and felt like I was going to throw up. I decided to try the last 10 min run again after a longer recovery and STILL couldn't complete it. I am so screwed for this race. I want to give up so bad. Now I kinda want to get pregnant so that I have an excuse to eat brownies and lay on the couch (like I could/would anyways). Just a thought.
