Benjamin is the cutest! *Now he eats like an adult – chewing, chewing… almost never chokes anymore.
He hold things really good – crawling of course is not a problem! Standing up w/ any kind of support! But last night for the first time he sat down by himself!
I think he’s saying “Dada” now too – I’m not sure, can’t imagine such a little guy talking – but twice after Dan left the room he screams “DADAAAA” – And MAD! It’s too cute! =)
And as of 8/30 he has a girlfriend - Ava - He was so gentle and delicate with her - So cool!
He brings so much happiness to my life! Ohh yea! My life… talking about it!
Besides using this blog to register Benjamin's development also want to keep track of my weight loss journey! (Yes, I’ll call a journey – It won’t be easy!)
I decided that I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and DO something about it!
I'm always blaming in USA - "AMERICA MAKES YOU FAT” All thou I do believe that I changed a lots after I moved here –
Here’s our life:
1. Winter is like ½ of the time – So you sit down in front of the TV to watch sports OR whatever show we can’t miss an episode! (Survivor is on at this time). Eat, eat and eat – that’s the fun we have!
2. Summer – ice cream, ice cream, ice cream – Cookout, cookout, cookout – Eat, eat and eat again! All summer long! Dan fix my plates like he does his and guess what? I eat it all!
“Eating and drinking and hoping and sleeping… Eating and drinking – and after you do – You will be Faaaat, you’ll be faaaaat” Do you like my version??? Haha
3. Fun – Friends. I miss my real friends from Brazil! They were so cool; we always had so much fun! Here, most of my so called friends are Dan’s friends – they barely know my name. Our family – we barely see. And the few friends I have, either are single woman – so they don’t want to hang out with Dan and I; or they are way older then us – so is boring! =oP
4. In many ways you cannot be kind of people – you can be “loving” – I used to consider myself very caring and loving – always concerned about my family/friends and about anyone around me…But here, in USA anything you do is “Sexual harassment” – or you are a SLUT! So – I was tired to be “misunderstood” by everyone that really didn’t know me. And I believe that this was the first change I done to mess up myself! To make me the bitter person I’m today!
In Brazil we are all about hugs and kisses – touch has healing power!! I love to care, kiss & to hug! You can never do this here!
Now - it doesn’t matter what people will say – I just hope Dan will support my “change” – or my “back to normal” change. I’ll love, kiss & hug, (Maybe a little less touching then the Brazilian way- witch is not a sexual thing, at all) – I’ll do as a loving and caring person I KNOW I’AM! It may sound crazy – but maybe I’m crazy!
Anyways – Besides wanting to love others again, and loose my bitterness I also want to loose weight – as I mentioned like 10 sentences ago - Today I’m 190 pounds! (How depressing) I mean HOW Encouraging! I’ll get there! 154 #s – that’s my goal! I done YMCA CSC for 30 minutes last Tuesday – Tomorrow I’m going again. I’m so sore! =) It’s kind of funny hehe! I’ll do it – You’ll see!
A couple things came to my mind:
“I’ll get by, I’ll survive…!” – GD
“I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” – (Amen) Philippians 4:13
