Walking fun!

When I quit the gym I was a little nervous. I knew it was the best thing for Brody. I hated sticking him in the nursery while I worked out. I felt a little guilty even though  I know he was fine. We always went at night and I just hated having him out late so many nights. Although I am not a big stick to a schedule person with Brody, I just didn't want him out late like that 4 nights a week..I knew I could exercise on my own, but would I and how? So I started walking with Brody and I love it. I used to walk/run in my neighborhood all the time before baby and now it is so much more fun. Don't let this face fool ya.. He loves it too. =)

(p.s. check out the two teeth.)

I love how we bond during this time and I get a little exercise too. We talk about things, and it becomes a teaching moment for him as well. Never too early to start that, right?! Who cares that he doesn't understans a word I am saying. haha! I hope as we continue our walks that he will want to grow up healthy. I can't wait for one day when he rides his bike beside me as I jog, or skates, or even becomes my little jogging buddy. ;)  I see my friends posting pictures of them and their kids running 5k's I hope that's me and Bro oneday. Even when I don't walk he loves watching me jump around to workout videos. He thinks I am playing with him and he will just laugh. Or when I do crunches, aka peek-a-boo with him. So many ways to exercise with babies/kids you just have to do it. Just playing with your child is exercise and I love it.
