#21 Tuesday January 25, 2011 week 20

easy like sunday morning. doing what we do best. dog being a dog, daddy singing to you, mommy taking your picture and you jumping and drooling up a storm. I have a feeling you will be playing before you can ride a bike. everyone says that you look like an old soul, and for some reason, you seem to really like the old bluesy stuff more than anything else, like old leadbelly.

Meeting Great Aunti Janie

Ever since I was little I have always enjoyed spending time with my Auntie Janie. I was so excited when I went to school in Long Beach, because it meant that I would get to spend a lot of quality time with my Auntie. We would gab over lunch or laugh at silly jokes when we window shopped. When ever my Auntie comes into town I know that her and my Dad will become pure entertainment watching those two interact is pure comedy.

This is not My Body

Yesterday as I was getting dressed I looked in the mirror and thought to myself "ugh this is not my body" I know and understand that I just had a baby so I need to cut myself some slack and I do. With that being said, I know that I will feel so much better if I start to do something about getting by body back to its pre-baby weight. The saying is that it takes 9 months to put the weight on, so it will takes 9 months to get your body back. Aj is 4 months and 3 weeks, so if we stick to the old adages of 9 months on 9 months off, that gives my project a deadline of May 7.
So what am I going to do to accomplish this goal. Well let see, I am going to do a lot of trial and error to see what will work with my new families schedule but here are my thoughts:
1. Because I am nursing I have to be careful with my diet. I need to make sure I intake between 1800-2000 calories a day, but I will make sure that they are all good and healthy food :-)
2. Annie my border collie mix also gained baby weight with me and is in need of a little body make over as well. My goal is to start running/ walking with her 4-5 a week
3. Renaissance offers a great 45 minute ballet stretch / tone class twice a week that works perfectly in my schedule
4. Lifting weights twice a week at 21 minute fitness is Walnut Creek (great workout!)
5. For fun and to get me active on the weekends I thought I would try a new class every weekend at Renaissance
These are just a few ideas. I will make sure to let you know how it goes

January 18, 2011 – Week 19

Were to begin, I feel like this week went by so fast I don’t even know were to start. You had your 4 month check up this and your doctor was very happy with how you have grown. Here is your stats

Weight Reading : 13 lb 14.2 oz – 24%

Height Reading : 2’ 2.5” – 91%

As you can see, you are very long and skinny, (here’s a fun fact for you. Your Mommy was the same when she was a baby too!)

I actually have problems with dressing you, you are too long for you cloth but are so skinny that you are swimming in them.

This weekend you got to hang out with Daddy and I on what we like to call a “Lazy Weekend” meaning we sit down and watch 4 or 5 movies.

Exploring Legion of Honor

When you were born your dad and I realized that there was so much more to life than work and we wanted to add a little more play to our lives. In an attempt to do so we have decided that one day a week we want to make it a "Family Adventure Day". On our first of hopefully many more outings, we packed your diaper bag with : 5 diapers, extra whips, 2 extra toys, a stroller and your baby Bjorn and we were off! Grandpa-pa was very excited to come with us and be their for your first trip to an art museum. Part of our adventure today was just getting there. It has been awhile since any of us have gone to Legion and we got quite lost. Luckily San Francisco is a beautiful city and we all enjoyed the view. Once we finally found the museum we all enjoyed the beautiful artwork inside. You gnawed away at your had or toyed and enjoyed the brilliant colors of the painting. Even with all the amazing artwork on the walls, we had quite a few people admire your cuteness.
