A new outlet

I've created a new blog (listed on my about me page) that is all about my struggles and triumphs to get my pre pre pre baby figure back. So far it has forced me to be accountable for my actions and choices. My first triumph has been the beginning of the end my of pop consumption. My last can of carbonated icy goodness was on the 16th of this month. I feel like I can be proud of that if nothing else at the moment because I can't seem to force myself to exert any kind of energy to burn off all the cans of pop I've had up until that point. But either way, I feel as though this is the beginning, something that I feel could actually make a difference... We'll see I guess.

In other news... my 9 1/2 month old sunshine is growing like a weed... well, more like a really pretty, fast growing flower. She is in the 90-95% for her weight, height and head circumference! She is also so much fun!!! She is having quite a time with all of her new finger foods. She had spaghettios for the first time two nights ago and I could not have imagined what fun we were both in for five minutes before I plopped the bowl in front of her.









Some of the best times I've had were when I've laughed to the point of tears. My sunshiney pregnancy was full of those moments which makes me believe have something to do with my little ones sunshiney disposition. She is quite babbley and loves to tell me all about things. She crawls to me when I pick her up at the end of the day (my favorite time of day). Yesterday she crawled to me, and then held onto my pants to pull herself up to a stand... and stayed there for a good few minutes staring up at me with such a proud look on her face. She was investigating my teeth a few nights ago and I thought for sure I was going to pee in my pants. I was talking to her and she started to touch my teeth with her finger... THEN SHE STUCK HER WHOLE HAND IN MY MOUTH TRYING TO GRAB MY TEETH! She grinned and did it a few more times until tears were falling down my face.

Three more hours to go and I will be making my sunshine giggle in my arms!
