it's funny how a holiday weekend can help one ruin their streak of good eating habits. well... i shouldn't blame the holiday exactly, it's more the birthday cake and squares that i made (and not can't stop trying to "eat it", like they're going to go bad). otis is one month old, and i've lost over 20 lbs, but if i keep this up, i'll gain quite a bit back. that said, i did go for a longish walk today. i need to try and walk every day.

to my delight, i found out that my neighbourhood library isn't supposed to close for another year. that's a relief, because i thought it was closing in a few months.

nancy gave us brendan's baby book the other day. she did a great job filling it in, that it's really motivated me to finish eamon's book (and get started on otis). i'm kind of glad that i'm wrapping it up when he's three, because things change a lot over time, and a lot of his habits, interests, etc, changed since he was a little baby. i'm excited to see otis grow and change too :) he's a cuddly baby, and really likes to be held most of the time.
