mya and claire







I have definitely dropped the ball on this blogging thing. I was so good with claire, posting weekly and sometimes daily all the things that she was doing, eating and her sleeping patterns. Aiy, yaiy, yaiy. Mya is a great baby. She sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time, sometimes even 5 hours. She basically wakes to eat and falls back to sleep, although her time awake is increasing each day. Mya hardly fusses and rarely cries. However, that being said, when she wants something, she makes it known. I think she may get that quality from me. hmmm. She loves to be swaddled, but doesn't need to be in order to sleep. She is a pretty laid back kiddo and tolerates alot of helping from her big sister, Claire. Claire is the paci police and is constantly trying to shove the paci in Mya's mouth or smother her with kisses. Mya is loved, no doubt about it. We've changed bottles once again and reverted to using the medela special feeder bottle we had when Claire was born. It is working much better and Mya tolerates the flow much more easily. I can't believe my littlest girl is already 3 weeks old today. Times seems to pass even more quickly with two.

Hi you guys, just went through the site. What a beautiful baby. Both children are looking very well. I can't wait to come up and see you guys.
Kara, I think Mya looks alot like you.
I am glad you are doing so well getting into the habit of things. You do have a handful with the babys & the dog, but I think you both are enjoying the adventure of it all.

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

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 ...
