I'm loving the Olympics! I really am an Olympic junkie!!! If I was an Olympian I would definitely be a speedskater. I think those men and women are amazing! Anyway, so that's what we've been doing lately...watching the Olympics. Chris and I also managed to go out for dinner...the first time since my birthday in June! It was highly overdue. We dropped Thomas off at Chris's parents around 4 and had supper at 5! I know it's a bit early, but this restaurant is very popular and doesn't take reservations. So, we had supper, went for dessert and were back at Chris's parents to pick Thomas up at 7:30. It was wonderful! Hopefully we can do this a bit more regularly. We used to go out for dinner a lot, but things have definitely changed with a baby:) Well, I'm looking forward to watching more Olympic coverage today. Hopefully some more medals for Canada!

Thomas is almost one! I can hardly believe it. This year has gone by so fast with him in my life. I haven't loved every minute (crying for reasons I couldn't figure out!), but overall I am loving being a mom. I'm going back to work in 3 weeks, which I'm kind of looking forward to, but kind of not. It'll be hard to leave Thomas, but also nice to have something different to do. Thomas now has 7 teeth and he eats sooooo much! He regularly eats a piece of toast with cheese, a whole banana and some cheerios for lunch. I'm lacking creativity in what to feed him for lunch these days, but he doesn't seem to mind...as long as he gets food. I'm planning his birthday already and can't wait. I'm excited to see his reaction after eating some cupcake. He hasn't had anything sweet like that yet. We're going to do a jungle animal theme! I wish my immediate family could be here, but hopefully they'll be able to make it to another birthday some year. Here's a picture of Thomas in his new sled we got him. He loves it and it's good exercise for me:)
