I haven't blogged in over a month! Wow! I miss blogging a lot. I never have the time to sit down and write anymore. The kids are happily playing and watching a movie right this second but I'm sure that will end any minute so let's see what I can get out here.
There's nothing new or exciting going on over here so I'll just post some random things that are going on in our lives right now.
Miss Ashlyn will be celebrating her 3rd birthday in a little over a month. I can't believe this girl is going to be 3 already. I am ridiculously amazed by this girl and how smart she is. I love how sweet she is and how she talks to people wherever we go. Even if she has just met you, you can bet she will give you a hug and a kiss when she's done talking to you. It's just who she is.
While we love how social she is, we are also very scared about it. She has no boundaries. She isn't scared of anyone. We think it's time to start teaching her when it is and isn't ok to be so cozy with strangers.
So other than the complete disregard for stranger danger and the fact that she still comes into our bed in the middle of the night, she is awesome. She's going through some typical toddler irritations lately like attitude issues and saying no to us but nothing crazy.
She's always been an awesome kid but she just keeps getting better and better. She loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses. She's only a slightly picky eater but we've been cracking down on that and she's been getting better. She loves her brother and plays with him more than she fights with him. She's a pretty easy kid. Not to mention flippin adorable.
Bryan is now 14 months old and is a CRAZY little boy! He is into EVERYTHING! Half of it is the age and half of it is the fact that he is a boy. Ashlyn wasn't nearly as curious as he is at this age. He just wants to see what everything is. He digs into everything he's not supposed to. But I love his curiosity and I love how he is starting to get things.
He's walking now so he's all over the place. He will literally walk around in circles in the kitchen just for something to do. It's really funny to watch. His little toddler waddle is adorable and he's already trying to run.
He is the least picky toddler I've ever seen. He eats just about anything. The only thing I know he really doesn't like so far is grapes. For some reason he spits them out. He seems to like more of the foods I like...meats and potatoes. Some days he can eat all day long and other days he barely eats a thing. He almost never eats a real lunch because that's around his nap time and just refuses to eat. It's an odd eating schedule but I guess it works.
I think he's teething right now. All of his teeth came early and it looks like his fangs are going to be no different. He's got puffy top gum so I'm assuming they will be coming very soon. Some days this makes him crazy clingy and some days it makes him cuddly clingy. There's a huge difference and I prefer the cuddly.
Speaking of cuddling, this boy is the master. I mean he really gives the best hugs. They are always so random too, out of no where. He is the sweetest little boy and he is always smiling! But on the rare occasion that he is pissy, he has the best pouty face I've ever seen. I can't believe how cute this kid is.
The weight loss journey continues. I've been slacking a bit lately but feel like I'm getting back on track now. I'm down about 25lbs since February and would like to lose at least 10 more. I kind of went on a two week binge of just not eating well and not exercising. Not only did I gain some weight back (about 5lbs) I also felt like crap! I was tired and moody and just felt bad.
This week I've adjusted my eating back to the healthier style and I already feel a big difference. I'm down 4lbs already and I just feel better overall. I ordered a new Beachbody program and will be starting that next week so I'm excited. Since 12 of the last lbs I lost were due to PiYo, I'm pretty excited to see how this program helps.
I posted this photo back in September to show just how far I've come. I guess you don't realize how much you really have to lose until you see it in a picture.
So that's about it. Not much going on here. We are going away this weekend and I can't wait! My husband is going to be hunting in Maryland on Saturday so the kids and I will just be relaxing for the day with my sister in law. I'm looking forward to some time away.

Cannot believe how long it has taken me to read this post. I get it! I'm so freaking busy lately too. Ashlyn is my dream child. She is so well behaved and just a darling! You're right about her being cute too. I'm definitely for teaching her some stranger's aint so nice thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of your weight loss journey! As far as I'm concerned, you're a success and you've accomplished what you wanted to in 2014! You inspire me gf, and that picture is insane! I cannot believe how thin your face looks side by side like that!
