playground fun and love

How can you look at these pictures and not fall madly deeply in love? These girls are such an awesome gift. I could never have imagined finding such joy and pleasure in the everyday as I have since becoming a Momma. This morning Mya woke to Claire standing by her crib saying in her sweet little voice, "Good morning beautiful girl." I bought Claire a new pink water bottle this morning, to which she replies, "Ooo La La, I love it." In that moment, the world stopped and I took note. I love, love, love these kids. It is going to be a squelcher today, so we got out early. I took them to a great little playground that is nice and peaceful. Mya, the little dare devil that she is, skipped right over the toddler appropriate apparatus and ventured off for the big stuff. Moments later, she has mastered the first step and is onto the next. The little bugger even tackled the huge slide. We visited this park last mother's day and Chris went on the slide, but admitted that it was a bit too high for his comfort. I guess this little monster takes after me. I can be pretty bold as far as heights and thrills go. Probably moreso when I was younger, but I still am good with tall rides and things like that. It was fun. Claire did as Claire does and went right for the swings. The girl is in love with flying through the air. Higher, faster, higher is her motto. Yesterday at Alison's, Claire was running down the driveway pushing Mya in the little tikes car--both laughing hysterically. Everyday is filled with moments like these. Funny things said, laughs, giggles and smiles galore. I. am. in. love.

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....

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 ...

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 ...
