Just a Growin'!

She is pulling up to everything and today she even started walking around the edge!

Shae found Dada's drum sticks and knew just what to do!

You can't see them both but she has two bottom teeth!

April in Review

With a room full of toys a tupperware bowl is what keeps her entertained!

Shae has to have your Daddy snuggles before night-night time

Shae learns new sounds and "words" every day and her current favorite is to blow raspberries instead of kisses! Her Grandma Angel doesn't think there's anything more precious!

Testing out Daddy's new ride!

I'm losing it!

OK so you all know I've lost my mind but now I'm losing my weight too! Thanks to working out 3-5 times a week, counting calories, and detoxing- I have lost 7 lbs in the last 4 weeks! I still have quite a few to go of course, but it's actually happening! I was not as diligent at exercising this last week but that's why we get another week, right? Thanks for the words of encouragement from a few of you and MANY thanks to those who have noticed the change in my appearance!

I hit a couple milestones the last couple weeks and one of which is finally getting back into my pre pregnancy jeans! On a healthier note, I am now in a Healthy weight range too!

Pretty as a Doll

We took Shae to have her 6 months portraits taken (3 days before she turned 7 months) and now that she's 8 months I have the prints! This is my favorite setting so far, I just love the tutu!

Birthday Blessings

Jeremy and I hosted a birthday dinner in honor of my dad last weekend. I made his favorite cake, Red Velvet, and we enjoyed a taco dinner and a visit from my dad's parents, Red and Liz!

Doggy Pile!

Jeremy brought home a stuffed pug for Shae and she absolutely loves it! I set her and the dog on the floor in her room so I could put laundry away and when I came back this is what I found- of course I had to get the camera!

The dog doesn't stay sitting up for very long before she dives for it!

Stumbling...

I had intended to update on Monday but it has been a crazy week so far! Speaking of crazy... I didn't get near the workouts in that I had hoped last week because we had a crazy week last week too! We were blessed to have a few evenings with my family last week and between that and eating out over the weekend I didn't workout or eat like I should have. I suffered for it by gaining a little back :( Although discouraging it has given me the drive and motivation to work that much harder this week and as of yesterday morning I had lost the extra weight and I am starting fresh! Monday night Jeremy did Yoga X with me and last night I worked my legs and back with chin ups, lunges, and squats! Talk about a workout! Most days I grab Subway for lunch because we all have to eat fresh, right? Haha! The hardest part is those cookies staring you down when you're waiting to pay for your veggie delight wrap ((or maybe it's a Turkey on Wheat))! Just don't fall for thinking that the apples look like a nice substitute for chips unless you like your apples rubbery and tart! The gist of my week is that we're going to forget last one and focus on making this one something to brag about!
