Kashus, Sky, Weight loss

Kashus

 

Kashus is already 4 months old, I can't believe time has gone by so fast!! He is so cute these days, so much personality is showing! His favorite song that I sing to him is Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. EVERYTIME I sing that song he is all smiles and will occasionally give me a laugh, he loves when we do the actions! He is such a Mommy's boy, I can get a smile out of him almost every time I talk to him.  He is laughing more and more everyday. He is now eating baby oatmeal and pears. He is doing so good and gets excited when we give him the pears. He pays attention to every thing. He has the biggest, bluest eyes and is always taking every thing in. He is now over 13 lbs, growing more and more every day. He sleeps in his crib from about 8-9 til 6 in the morning without getting up. We have been blessed with babies that sleep, Sky started sleeping through the night at an early age as well.

 

Sky

 Sky is still the best big sister to Kash! You can just see the love between them. She is always singing to him, tickling him, talking to him, hugging him, kissing him. He is always smiling at her, its so cute to watch them interact.

 

"Look Mom, our heads are together"

 Sky had to put her bunny ears on Kash after she had been wearing them!

Her and I got on this kick of going to the photo booths where you can pose a couple of times and it prints your pics out in strips. She had so much fun we did some on our own, here's a few!!

 

Family

 

My family had come to visit and see Kash for the first time. We did a couple of fun things... We went to the Union Station museum and the Hill Aerospace museum. My Grandpa had come and it was so nice to see him! I hadn't seen him since the summer of 2009! Its been awhile for me and he's never met either of my kids! It was a very good time!! Here are some pics!

 

 

Sky has been pretty good all summer! She started really using the potty today! She went about 4 times for Dad :) I'm hoping we can keep this up and she can be potty trained by the end of the week!! Wish us luck! She says so many funny things these days, I really need to blog more so that I can remember what she says. Its been so long and this post is getting extremely long the way it is!!! Sorry guys! I promise I will try to post more often so your not reading for an hour ;)

 

Any way she is obsessed with Monster's Inc. Every time someone is pretending to sleep she roars at you as loud as she can to scare you awake. LOL! We just got her a fake kitchen with fake food and she loves playing with it. She loves putting things in the "microwave"!  She is getting so big! Will be 3 in 4 months!!!

 

 

Me

 

I haven't blogged about myself on here but I decided I should write a little bit about my weight loss. I have been trying very hard for the last month or so. When I had Kash I was 182 and now I am 147! Its been a journey. I have been counting calories, just recently started running and lifting weights. I am currently doing a No Junk Food Challenge for 21 days. Today is the first day that I have started this challenge. It consists of No candy, No chocolate, No white bread, No donuts, cookies, pastries, No peanut butter, nutella, or other naughty spreads, No ice cream, No fast food, and No soda. Doesn't seem that bad considering I haven't eaten any of this for the last month but of course I was tempted today at work. They had cheeseburgers for dinner which is my favorite meal there. I kept thinking to myself I'll just eat half, but then the bun is white bread so I stuck to my guns and ate my Lean Cuisine! It was really good so I'm glad that I didn't give in!! One of my best friends, one of the only people I really talk to is also doing the challenge with me along with my husband! I have high hopes that with the support we can give to each other we will be able to get through the 21 days :) Wish us luck and feel free to join in with us!! ITS A CHALLENGE!!!
