I wanted to post that Weight Watchers is still going REALLY well -- I just weighed in for the third week and I was down another 2.5 lbs. :) That's a total of 7.5 lbs. in 3 weeks!! I'm totally pumped!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Quick updates!
I just looked at the blog and realized its been 10 days since Dawson started walking -- he has progressed soo much! He's walking from room to room to room and he's working on standing up from not holding onto anything. In the last couple of days, he's figured out that he can walk on his knees!! :)
He also has learned the word "that"! If he wants something he'll say "that". LOL! It's quite hilarious...I figured he picked it up from us, saying, do you want that? What do you say if you want that? What is that? But he's totally able to identify items and identify things that he wants. He'll bring us right to what he wants. If he wants milk, he'll go the fridge and try to open it...lol. If he wants a banana (seriously his obsession!), he'll walk over to the counter with his arms up and say, "that"!
This morning, Dawson was in the kitchen with Dave while he was making his lunch and Kirby barked because he needed in and Dave says to Dawson, is Kirby outside? Dawson seriously walked over and kindof peeked his head around the counter corner (under the breakfast bar) and pointed and said "that" and then waived "HI"!!! We laughed and thought that was soo cool! :) He's learning so fast -- it's like a month ago, he wasn't walking and now he's walking, talking and acknowledging things and dancing like crazy! It's so much fun!
As for Miss Kylie -- she also is growing up so darn fast! Her imagination is running like crazy and she's constantly telling us stories! She loves to play waitress and loves to pretend play in any way she can! She's going through a phase right now, that she's afraid of the shadows in her room...so we've tried to do some rearranging in her room to avoid some of the shadows, but its quite hard to do. So we've started to make things in the shadows to make it fun for her instead of frightening.
This coming up weekend, we are headed to Dave's Dad's house in Sioux City, Iowa. Kylie is super excited, she loves playing with Dave's two little sisters! It's about a 6 hour drive from our house, so this will be both of the kids' longest drive/ride in the car. We'll see how they do and the Kirby is off to see his friends for 4 days -- he loves going to the kennels :)
I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!!

We have a walker!!!!
Mr. Dawson is officially walking!!! YAY!!!! Last night, everytime he fell he managed to try and make it back up to his feet. I will post a video after I upload it, but he was walking from the couch in the living room to the dining room -- about 15 feet :) He's learning to catch his balance and everything -- we are soo excited...I just cannot believe it, I thought I'd never see this day come!!! He looks like such a big boy when he walks too...aww...I love these moments! Anyways, thought I'd share and I'll share a video this weekend -- so check back for another update!
Have a great weekend!!
Have a great weekend!!

Halloween 2008
My parents came up for Halloween this year -- Dave and I took the kids out and Mom and Dad handed out candy at our house! It worked out really well -- I guess after Kylie had her tempertantrum and decided she initially did not want to go trick-or-treating. But then decided if Daddy took her out, she'd go and she had a blast! The weather was perfect -- it could not have gotten any nicer out. It kindof stunk though, we didn't get started until around 6:30 or later. I liked daylight savings before Halloween instead of after! :)
Here are a few pictures of the kids and Kylie and her friend Kristen and her brother Josh:

It's been awhile...
since I've posted! I wanted to update everyone and let you know that I'm back on Weight Watchers Online! I'm super excited and after almost a week, I'm already feeling better about myself. It's going to be extremely hard to change my ways and I know this, but am fully confident that I can do it! It's been a long year since Dawson's been born and I finally feel "READY" that I can do this! :) I will try to keep everyone posted on my fabulous progress!
Over the last week, the kids have came down with some yucky cold. Last week, Tuesday (Election Day), I took the day off, since the kids didn't have daycare, I thought it would be a great day for a Mommy day with the kids. We got up, played a bit, went and voted, I stopped at the park on our way out of town, so they could play a bit and then we dropped a couple bags off at Goodwill. We then had a nice lunch with Jamie, Lydia and Elizabeth. :) The kids were completely exhausted when we got in the car after lunch. When we got home, I put them back to sleep in their rooms and Kylie just did not want to get up. I finally got her up around 4:00 -- to try and eat some dinner before dance that night. We got to dance and she just wanted to "cuddle". She had no desire to dance...did not even step foot on the dance floor. So I ended up taking her home and discovered she had a 103 degree temp. I, of course, felt terrible for taking her out of dance upset because she wouldn't dance :( But we then got her some medicine and snuggled a bit. She ended up staying home from daycare on Weds. with Dave and has been doing a bit better as time goes on. She still coughs quite frequently while sleeping, but we've also been doing her nebulizer a couple times a day, in which I hope to think helps :)
As for Dawson, he has had a runny nose since the weekend and part of late last week and finally yesterday, he got hit with the cough and its nasty!! Poor little guy. He still seems to be in high spirits for the most part. But when he wants to go to bed, he wants to go now! He did snuggle a bit last night, which was nice, because this little guy does not snuggle.
Oh yes and I have to post photos from Halloween yet! :)
