Potty Training!

Well this is what potty training looks like at our house, lots of candy lots of Blues Clues and lots of time spent on the potty, we average about 1 accident a day (I dont think this is too bad) and usually it just because we can't get her on the potty fast enough. She is a VERY willing girl she gets so excited every time she goes she always stands up and runs to the candy screaming Yay, Yay,Yay

I tried to capture the excitement of it all on video this is the best I could do. She doesn't usually need any encouraging from me.

Sydney (6 months) one month late???

Sydney is our smile QUEEN, she loves this toy that her Aunt Brit sent for her.....

and she loves having free rain of the toys Kloee leaves all over when she goes down for a nap......

Her dimples, blue eyes and contagious smile melt my heart on a daily bases, she is growing like a weed and will be crawling any day now she is THAT close. At her last appointment these were her stats......

Length: 25.8 inch

Weight: 14.6 lbs    (all around the 25%)

Head: 17 inch

She is a VERY happy, easy baby! Love you Sydney!!!

The Woombie

Serious life saver....this little girl loved to have her arms wrapped up tight while she sleeps, problem is she moves a TON in her sleep so at night Darren and I would have to get up numerous times just to wrap her tight again, well one of my friends (thanks April) told me about these woombies, you just zip her in and there she stays, after a few nights she does still get an arm out here and there but she stays asleep now, yeah back to sleeping all night long!!!! Now I want to buy some more they are so convenient, worth every penny!

Indoor Playground

At one of the malls here there is an indoor playground that I have taken Kloee to a few times, she really likes it as long as there aren't too many kids there....

as soon as it gets crazy she would hop onto this frog and wait it out....

she also liked watching the other crazy kids....

and going through the tunnels

and this precious little thing just sat on my lap and took it all in.....Hours of fun, makes the day go by fast!!!

Healthy Living.....

Well the past few weeks I have been trying out some NEW recipes out of a Healthy cookbook, so far out of all the dishes we have one pasta dish Darren liked (probably only because it was spicy) and this pea soup which I LOVED but Darren would "Prefer not to eat a again", it is not your ordinary pea soup it has mint leaves in it, interesting twist, let me know if you want to try it but seriously don't knock it til you try it!!!

I have promised a few people I would update on my workout routine/success....
well here are the stats......

Weight loss to date.....15lbs (since 5 weeks postpartum)
Inches off waist.....3 inches
Inches off hips.....5 inches

Wish I could tell you the total % of body fat I've lost but I can't remember where I started, as for how I've done it, seriously it's been a little of this and that.....

-Lots of time on the AMT at level 20 going about 15 cal/min
-Zumba Class
-Weight lifting
-Biggest Loser on the Wii
-Walks with the girls
-Cycling (just started)

I try to be as random as possible with my workouts, mostly I just try to keep moving as much as I can during the day and I try to do between 45-60 min. or dedicated workout 6 days a week.  I've cut out all Soda and most drinks with calories and I have been tracking all calorie intake on anytimehealth.com.

The closer i get to my goal weight, the harder it is getting for me to shed any weight, but the more motivated I am and the better I am feeling. I've got 2 more weeks and I will have been working out consecutively for six months, I think I deserve some new clothes for that milestone, what do you think???

All dressed up....

I LOVE having girls! I never knew that I would enjoy dressing my girls up so much and they both sit so well while I curl hair, paint nails, and put pretty dresses on them....TOO much fun!

Please Sir, Can I have some more??

My little begger....We make Kloee stay in the kitchen if she is drinking out of regular cup so she doesn't spill on the carpet and it usually takes a few refills before she's ready to be done so this is what you see!!! It CRACKS me up!!!

Love/Hate Relationship...

 Sleeping with the flowers!!

I had this garland type thing from my wedding that was above Kloee's bed and one night she completely pulled it off the wall on to her and was sleeping it, but it was really beat up so I turned it into a wreath for my door. 

So the first day I made my the wreath I LOVED it the next day I hated it and now I kinda like it, I can't decide if it was because I found some others that I liked better or if I think it looks like an old lady wreath. Needless to say its still up....honest truth....SHOULD I TAKE IT DOWN???
