Just Me and My Baby

 
 
 
 
We are experiencing a rather rainy Saturday, so Claire and I are chillin inside. Chris is at class, missing out on all the fun. I blew and blew and blew, using all the air my little lungs could muster to blow up her swimming pool. She was rather delighted. It is supposed to be beautiful tomorrow, so hopefully we'll have a chance to try it out. Claire did a little downward dog. A yoga pose she enjoys from time to time. We read a few books. Claire really likes 10 Little Ladybugs. The ladybugs are beadlike, which allows her to feel them on each page. It is cute. We also played with some other toys. She is getting so big. It is hard to believe my little bubby girl is almost one. Love her, love her, love her. She is such a little honey. Only 11 or so days of school and we can do this everyday. Yay!!

oh....you almost made me cry (sorry, I am hyper sensitive this week). I wish so much for you and Claire to have oodles of mommy & Claire time this summer and create many memories. I can't believe she is almost a year old; time really does seem to fly by.

Hey genius,
How are you going to get the giant swimming pool out of your family room?

You are too funny

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

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 ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
