4 Months




Four months have flown by. Claire is changing daily. Parenthood has been an incredible experience. Chris and I finally feel that we have a pretty good idea of what we are doing. Amen! Claire is chewing on everything--her toes, our fingers, her toys, her chair. She is eating like a little piggy--7 oz. each sitting. We have resorted to combining some formula with her milk to help satisfy her tummy for longer periods. So far so good. We had her 4 month checkup today. She weighs 12 lbs. 5 oz (25 percentile) & 23 1/2 inches in length(25th percentile). Her doctor was impressed by her strength and overall development (rolling, cooing, beginning babbling). She is a healthy, happy, thriving little girl. I was finally able to get her rolling over on video. This has been a challenge for the past two weeks. Her eyes are still blue, which is keeping my hopes alive. We love our little girl. We have enjoyed every minute of the past four months (even the crying, diaper duty, & decrease in sleep). Claire is everything we could have hoped for in a daughter.

I wish you lived closer so you could join our traditional Thanksgiving gathering. It will be filled with lots of good food which I am extremely excited about! It has been awhile since I have had an awesome homecooked meal! Only one more day left! Happy early Turkey Day! Love you!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
