I'm dizzy.

Ok. I'm not even going to address how long it's been since I've updated this blog. Well- I guess I just did. Ok, but that was it.  Yeah.  Moving on... 

Soooooooo I had a baby! Ill share the funny story about how I shot the baby at the doctor another time. His name is Landon, he's six weeks old, and he is a perfect, darling, adorable, sweet baby boy. He's amazing and I'm obsessed with him. 

It's not uncommon to find me twirling him around making up songs about how he is made of bubbles and rainbows and duckies and fluffy pillows. Or how he fell from a marshmallow cloud that garnished God's delicious hot chocolate. Or something like that. He can do no wrong. I tell him he never cries as he's crying. I tell him he never poops as he's pooping. My husband thinks I'm crazy but what else is new. Oh, you want a picture of the valiant Prince Lan-man? My pleasure.



Then there was the two year old. 
Well- the 26 month old. Who I potty trained, thank you very much, whilst caring for a newborn. But that's besides the point... (if you want to tell me how awesome I am, I'm not gonna protest) 

Avery loves her baby brother (or as she says, her "baby butter") but hasn't taken too kindly to not reigning over my husband and me with the same power that she possessed in the olden days. She has been soooooooooooooooo effffiinnngggg a bit defiant and THE WHINING!!!! The sharp tone her voice takes as she complains about how the sippy cup I selected is the wrong sippy cup makes me want to punch myself in the face. It's cool though. It's just a phase (someone tell me it's a phase or I'm packing Landon in a suitcase and we're headed to Mexico- no...it's cool- my totally un-Mexican mom lives there with her totally un-Mexican husband- no seriously... ) 

Anyway, so that's happening. What else? Oh. I hate HATE having 20 15 10 pounds left to lose. It sucks. Soooo my twin sister and I (who gained a few while being sidetracked by the most intense art school in LA) have made up a diet. We shared our experiences and successful weight loss tricks in the past and came up with the BOD diet. Not "bod" like "hey check out my 'bod'", but BOD as in Brink Of Death diet. It's actually a really easy concept. You just don't eat. So basically, if we make it, we're gonna look fabulous. I think it's really gonna catch on. But in the mean time, we might die. Here's what our conversations look like lately:

Worried about my health? Don't be! My husband is totally supportive. And Avery's not worried about it either. Note a conversation I had with her yesterday:

Avery: "HAHA! Your tummy is making sounds mama!"

Sofia: "Yeah, because I'm starving"

Avery: "I wanna wear a pumpkin shirt"

1. This conversation really happened. 2. See! She could not be less worried! 3. I'm dizzy



To be continued...

Have a great weekend enjoying your breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.
