Sunday Ramblings

What do you get when you take carbs out of your diet (mostly) and exercise a little bit?? FOUR POUNDS GONE in one week!! Not a bad start ... I HAVE to stay focused because Istill have 46 more to lose! My goal is to have them GONE for good by Christmas, so we'll see. On a scale between 1-10, I'd give myself a 6 for effort this week. There is definetly room for improvement and so my goal this next week is 5lbs gone! Wish me luck!

Who'd have thought.... sweet potatoes and turkey??? HE LOVES THEM!! I've never seen Owen eat so much baby food or make such a mess!! YEAH OWEN!! Missy, our feeding therapist from PCH gave us this little contraption... it's genius!! We mix his baby food in a tiny bit of water and put it in this sippy cup. The best part is... I can control what amount he gets in his mouth. So he puts his lips around the tip of the sippy cup and since he doesn't really know how to suck, I can just push up from the bottom and a little bit of turkey water... (Sounds delicious)... squirts into his mouth. This will teach him that when you suck from the sippy cup, something comes out! I think it's a great idea! When he figures this out, there is also a spoon attatchment that goes on the end. If you have a little one learning to eat, or drink, from a sippy cup... you can get it at Walmart...we love it!
Last, but not least... today is another one of our lazy Sundays at home. Daddy and Owen are laying in bed watching football and Kamryn is on the couch eating a bowl of ice cream...(such a GIRL)! I of course, am blogging....Life is good!!

Still no word on Owen's Cath date, so we are just enjoying our Fall... it is cooling down a tiny bit, but remains in the high 90's. Can't wait until it REALLY feels like Fall!

WOW - four pounds in a week! Keep up the good work Andrea!

That sippy cup looks awesome! I am going to have to get Trent one soon. I have tried giving him a regular sippy and he hasn't quite gotten the hang of it. Thanks for the tip :o)
