I can’t believe Xander is so old already! It seems like a month or two ago that you were announcing you were pregnant. Crazy! My weekend was great! I hit 6 miles in training for my second half marathon and this week is my 1st “blogiversary”!
aww! thank you for the shout out! you are the cutest! And happy anniversary again! You two are such a cute couple! XO
Hi Katie!
I just started reading your blog to get some insight on being a mom and staying fit and active throughout the upbringing of a child. I am recently engaged and thinking about parenthood but it scares me a little! I nanny a lot and the little boy I watch has had a bad case of temper tantrums in the last few months. The other day I took away a toy he had been chewing on and I couldn’t seem to calm him for OVER two hours! This is the advice I was told to use: http://bit.ly/Vxzqel. I think it’s great, but I’d love to hear your opinion and how you have handled those events. Stay awesome! I love your blog.

Hi Tiffany! Thanks for the link. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I definitely wouldn’t call what X is having a tantrum – he’s only 6 months. He doesn’t know any better at this point! I think we just have to get him used to being away from me a little more – which is tough to do since I’m a stay at home mom. I’m also going to try and time this upcoming weekend’s run better! Thanks for the video!
