And a week :)
Lots of changes in our household
lately! Brady is pulling up on everything! I have to follow him
around everywhere to make sure he doesn't fall. Really hating the
tile in our house right about now. He doesn't know how to fall. I
know that sounds weird, but we're working on it. He was falling like
a straight board. Which obviously causes some injuries. I'm teaching
him to fall on his bottom! He says bye bye now and waves. Claps his
hands when I say, “clap your hands, Brady” or he sees someone
else clapping. He plays peek a boo. I caught him playing by himself!
Lol so funny! He's taking snacks (the little stars) by sticking his
hand in the tub to get them out himself. Will only drink from the
sippy cup by himself. I'm sure I could go on and on. But basically,
my very dependent little guy is becoming much more independent. He gives me a little more attitude these days as well. He will grunt at me if he doesn't like something. Or he will throw his sippy cup. He's gotten a few slaps on the hand for that one. I see
the transformation from baby to toddler happening before my eyes
daily.
I've tried to give him his milk in a
sippy cup just during the day, but he hates it. The boy loves his
bottles, so I see that being a big challenge soon. He's eating so
much better. A little less picky, but still picky. I basically have
to let him feed himself and be patient. It's tough! And SO messy. I
want a really clean house all of the time and it's just not
happening. I've been trying to let it go.
I've lost 12 lbs total on weight
watchers, but I've been stuck for a few weeks. At least I'm not
gaining, but I really want to lose at least 5 more lbs. 10 would put
me at my ww goal. I'm trying not to stress it though because I know
it'll happen and I don't want it to drive me crazy. I realized the
other day that I've been feeling a lot worse about my body lately.
Worse than I did 10 or 20 lbs heavier! What's up with that!? I asked
Eric, am I fat still or am I not fat anymore? I don't even know! Lol
Worst question ever for the hubby I know, but I make him be honest
with me. I'm asking for it, give it to me! I even ask for
comparisons. Am I as fat as so in so? (can't name names ;) Pregnancy
will really do a number on your body and I'm still adjusting mentally
to “get it”. I've got to take a deep breath and relax! Eric
always makes me feel good and tells me I'm hot so that's all that
matters :) Eric is doing really good still too. He's only 7 lbs from
his goal. We really want to be healthy and set a good example for
Brady and our future babies.
We have gotten so much done lately for
Brady's party and are crazy excited for my family to visit :) My mom,
sister, and her husband get here 2 weeks from tomorrow! And my dad
the day after that. Everything is done except last minute things like
food. I even made a baseball wreath for the door :) And after
searching forever for a cupcake stand (we ordered jumbo cupcakes so
that made it more challenging), I made two with some stuff from Hobby
Lobby. They turned out SO nice, were so easy, and not expensive at
all! I used gorilla glue to glue a candle stick to a wooden plate
that I painted white. That simple! And they look very nice and we can
totally reuse them.
I'm working on getting some video of
Brady doing his new things and finding my camera charger :/ but here
are some pics from my phone :)
Cake stands!
