TAT: wish list for P

Christmas is less than 2 months away!  I have started shopping - have you?  This week on Toddle Along Tuesday, Melissa is talking kid wish lists. Here is what we are hoping for P. 

1. Play Kitchen - we really bounced around in this one and I'm not sure we're settled but now this KidKraft one is top on the list. 

2. Plenty of kitchen gear to go with it. 

3. Clothes, of course. I <3 div="div" nbsp="nbsp" these.="these.">

4. Books. These look cute. 

5. Purse. There are a few tat look cute but I really like Melissa and Doug products!

6. We would love to get P some sort of ride on toy. This is a dream but any ride on item will probably wait until her birthday in the spring. 

Weekly wrap up

I cannot believe that the endif October is here!  Where has time gone!?!?  I am very excited fir the next few months - this is my favorite time if year. Holidays, football, jeans, cuddling, basketball at school, and (hopefully) snow days!  I will be writing about almost allot that at some point!

Here us the plan for this week:
- TAT looks like it will be a huge recourse for me!
- I have finished my latest craft and I can't wait t share it with you
- wordless Wednesday will be Halloween themed but won't be truly wordless because I'm going to include some pumpkin patch shots
- I'm still hoping to share my guest post with you

Stayed turned - I will be hosting another giveaway soon!  Thanks to guise who participated in my Sweet December giveaway!  The winner has been announced and notified!

Work out up date

I made a small mistake in getting back into working out. I told my "trainer" (AKA my athletic friend writing my workouts) that the first one wasn't too hard. This next round was apparently devised to kill me!

I'm not sure why it keeps going sideways

I did the first round of this Thursday and I am still SO SORE. I plan on going back tomorrow but I have a ton of school work. I am really trying to get in 3 days a week with at least one rest day in between. I did that for the past 4 weeks except I missed one Sunday when my cold was killing the house.

I feel a little stronger and my cardio is coming back. The running was hard but I managed 5 minutes of jogging with 5 minutes of very fast walking followed by 5 minutes of jogging. The crunches kill me too. Surprisingly the lunges and squats, which seemed the easiest in the workout are the parts that made me the most sore.

I still haven't weighed myself and (not surprisingly) my clothes fit the same. I feel good about taking time for myself and getting it done. We will see what day new of this workout does to me!!

19 months

I am terribly late with this update. Bad mom!  Here goes!

Age: 19 months

Sizes: Still size 4 diapers.  Overnights have been fine - yeah! Strangely as we have moved into pants we have had to go back to some 18 month clothes. They seem to fit better. Kids clothes are just as oddly sized as adults I guess!

Sleeping: She is doing well here. We have had a rough week with a cold and eye teeth coming in! It's the perfect storm!

Eating: Still great here.  She really loves fruit most and has gone away from veggies a little but still ears plenty. We have gone bottle free!  Milk intake has gone down but our pedi is okay with around 12oz a day plus yogurt. I think we're doing okay. 

Favorites: as I have talked before, she LOVES her doll and Minnie. They go everywhere with us!  She is very cute with them.   She loves playing peek a boo - around corners, under a blanket, with my iPad, everywhere!  I love it!

She's a doll girl - TAT

I always wondered when my girl would pick up on a lovie or toys that she had to have. Well, she has. It started totally innocent. Just having her doll (AKA baby) or Minnie in the car. Then she napped with Minnie once at the sitter's house. Today she cried at nap time because Minnie was in my car. 

Here are the culprits!

So what is your LO attached to these days?  Read more about obsessions with Melissa and Toddle Along Tuesday!

Weekly wrap up

Sorry for the small delay in my posting. We had a very rough weekend here. P and I got home from work on Friday to find one of our cats had passed. It was rough with what to do with P while I got Piglet checked on. Of course it was almost closing time for our vet's office but the did get me in contact with a super pet cemetery. Between their pick up service and my mom coming over with no notice, we got through it. J had a really tough time with it because Piglet was his first pet. We are hoping he isn't suffer much and know this is for the better.

In better terms, here is my plan for this week:
- my next give away starts tomorrow!
- TAT will be back again
- I will be updating my work outs, maybe with a new one
- P turned 19 months, I need an update!
