Mer-Mer and Peanut

This evening I was feeling momentarily blue...I was sitting on the couch holding James and Merryn was next to me. All of a sudden she announced "hug!" And jumped on top of me and wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me. Then she grabbed my face and kissed my cheek 7 or 8 times. Just when I needed a hug I got the best possible kind, a Mer-Mer hug! Made my day, no more blues.

James is starting to eat solid foods and he tried, and liked, peas tonight. My peanut is a pea...nut. Heh! I took another nap with him on top of me today.

JJ worked all day on grading. His mood seemed fine but at dinner, he finished eating and started reading a magazine at the table. Pretty rude, if you ask me. He liked the food though, a veggie dish with spinach, chickpeas, ginger, lemon, coconut on top of a sweet potato. I found the recipe online, soooo good. Anyway I am glad he was not grumpy today, even if I was annoyed he didn't talk at dinner.

Resolutions still going well. Writing here and writing all food down is starting to feel like a habit. And the food plan is working. I feel slimmer already, and it looks like a pound or two has already come off on the scale. It's encouraging! 

Emily, dad, and I are organizing a video greeting card for mom's birthday.
