Working Out and Crawling

As you can tell, working out with and lifting weights never has been too high on my list of priorities. It is not in my DNA. Probably has something to do with not seeing immediate results (maybe I needed to be on the juice). However, that has all changed. For the past seven months, LA and I have been carrying around Aubrey in the car seat. Recently, we have been carrying her and leaving her car seat in the car when we go places to cut down on the weight we were carrying. The other day, I wondered how much Aubrey and the car seat weighed together - Aubrey tipped the scales at 20lbs and the car seat at 10lbs. We have a 30lbs dumbbell that we have been carrying around and lifting into the car, over tables and lifting high so others can see her. Hopefully, the pay off is coming for me - becoming ripped/chiseled.

I am still looking for a design engineer to help reinvent the car seat. I have yet to find a design that didn't suck. However, LA and I have the idea that will revolutionize the baby car seat industry but need technical help - millions are on the line...anybody interested?

CRAWLING

Just a quick update on the crawling. Aubrey is officially crawling. She can go anywhere she wants. Her main route right now is the living room to the kitchen and back. She is into everything along the way that catches her attention. She has a few stops along the way - her car seat, computer bags, power cords for cell phones and computers, shoes by the door, plant stand (that is going to fall on her, it's just a matter of time), her swing and the rug in front of the sink. Our evenings used to be so simple when she could only lay on her back or just roll over. Now we are on full alert the entire evening, for what she is getting into. It is going to "shocking" when she gets some teeth and chews on those cords (that's probably going to hurt). It seems that all we are telling her right now is "no". No wonder that is one of the first words babies learns to say. It doesn't have anything to do with it being two letters and everything to do with the fact that it's the only word they hear.

Oh, yeah she isn't satisfied with just crawling. She is now trying to pull up and stand up. She was successful pulling up on the steps. She can't conquer one thing before moving to the next.

The fun has begun.
