Outback Steakhouse - Not Good for the Diet

Agh! I gained 5 pounds over the weekend! Yikes! I don't know how my body even does that in two days, it's not fair. And yet, it takes like a month to lose 5 pounds, if I'm that lucky! Have to work it off this week, that's for sure! I imagine going out to eat both Friday and Saturday night and having pizza for lunch today didn't help things much.

But, on the other hand, Justin is pretty much just about officially walking. He walked across my parents' kitchen yesterday, and I counted about 14 steps this evening. He's gaining confidence, and I'll give him another day or two before I'm probably going to be chasing him around the house, so hopefully that will help me out!

We did put up some new gates in the kitchen so that I can keep him in here with me while I'm cleaning or cooking. We needed the new gates since we dismantled the play yard and are now using it as babyproofing for the family room (it's blocking the tv, fireplace, bar and shelves).

Maggie and Pop had Justin both nights this weekend, which was really nice of them to watch him, and nice for us to have two nights out. He had a bit of prickly heat rash yesterday, but it's much better today, and he's a bit congested tonight - not with a runny nose or anything, but he just sounds very raspy. Chris just went out to get some Vicks for his humidifier, hopefully that will help. I imagine that these are normal things that happen to babies, but with the vaccinations he got last week, I keep wondering if maybe he's having some sort of reaction? I'll be keeping a close eye on him (as always!)
