Bye Bye 2009!

Well it was certainly a very memorable holiday season for Micro, Mr. Fliz, and I. We survived a great blizzard during Christmas and managed to actually stay up till 12 a.m. this New Year's Eve. Last year, we were struggling to celebrate with a one and half month old newborn. Now it feels like that time was so long ago.

I am hoping (praying, actually) that 2010 will be better than this past year for many people, including myself. If you're like me, who is trying to get back on the healthy eating, more exercising bandwagon, check out my posts for lettuce cups and roasted stuffed tomatoes here. My goal this year is to do more volunteering around my community and learn to relax and not rush-through my "down time" as a mommy. I tend to not fully enjoy the time I have to myself and always feel that I need to get back to help raise Micro immediately.

We did have a wonderful holiday season with family. Micro got to spend good quality time with his cousin Noe and learned quite a bit from watching and being around her. Oh yes, he did! He's now feeding himself, says and knows the meaning of "mama, mommy," and his first word spoken was "dog." As soon as we had come back from our East Coast vacation, it was like he was a whole different toddler. Yet he's still my little munchkin of a man and brings me smiles when I'm having a tough moment. Mr. Fliz and I are looking forward to discovering all the neat things Micro will this year. Share with me some of your favorite 2009 moments with your kids below.
