Yesterday I had a dr's appointment. It seems like so many of them are "wam bam, thank you ma'ams." Every thing is going well. So well, that I managed to gain a whopping 7 pounds this last month. I can't say that I was shocked when I got on the scale and saw the lady move the thingy further away from the 100 mark. The dr says my body's just catching up from all the weight I lost in the first several months. Sure....

Holden and I dropped Tim off at the airport this morning to head off for his conference in Seattle. I can't believe I'm not going. I've always wanted to go to Seattle. I'm sure he's not going to be able to do much, if any, site seeing, but still! Holden was pretty heartbroken to have to say goodbye to "Da-eee." So much so, that he cried until we were practically home. It was pitiful. The older Holden gets, the more attached to Daddy he becomes. And there's nothing that brings my heart more joy than to see the two of them together.

To make Holden feel better, I took him to the Disney store in the mall. If you've never been in that store, I recommend you go. I'm far from being a kid, but the minute I stepped foot inside, I wanted to fill the stroller with princess goodies for myself. Holden's eyes lite up when he saw all the characters in the store and, without surprise, picked out a small stuffed Mickey Mouse, whom he held up on his shoulder like a baby. I love him.
