Six Months...Half a Year!

Normally I just update on how our baby girl is doing but this month I decided to write her a letter.

Precious Baby Girl,

You are 6 months today. How can this be? If feels like just yesterday I was talking to you and feeling your kicks from the inside. God truly blessed us w hen he brought you into our lives! You bring us so much joy and happiness. I love you more and more each day. We tried to feed you carrots today. You weren't impressed. In fact, you hated it.

You are growing up so fast. Last week you began sitting all by yourself. During tummy time you do what you can to try and scoot. You haven't actually moved yet but you sure try. You crack us up on daily basis with your loud screaming. You are babbling more and more. You loved to be whistled to. You just started blowing raspberries. It's so cute. You have had quite a few rough nights this month with teething. We can feel the tooth but have yet to see it. Hopefully soon. :)

You have the sweetest disposition and we are blessed that you are an easy baby. I did find today with the carrots that you can be quite strong willed, wonder what we're in for there. You are still our chunky monkey. At your appointment today, you weighed a whopping 20 lbs! You are in the 95th percentile for height, weight and head circumference. I'm so grateful you're healthy. Well that's it for love you baby girl!

Love you,

Mommy

Homemade Boppy Pillow

Image
Okay, so for those of you who have looked at my registry, I did register for a boppy pillow but I also wanted to make one myself. I used material from an old cotton sheet we don't use anymore and can't help but wonder if store bought is better than homemade when it comes to this. Anywho, I figure if my pillow is just as good as store bought the registry one can always be returned and if my homemade one fails then I have a genuine boppy as well. Here goes nothing.... I printed out the pattern on the computer and had to tape the pattern together to make this. I got the pattern  here Fold your fabric, or sheet, in half, place pattern along folded side and cut two of the pattern out. Pin the two pieces together with RIGHT sides facing each other. Sew around edges, leaving opening for stuffing, I left my opening right in the middle but you can do whatever you want. Turn right side out and press Stuff pillow to desired consistency Hand sew the opening shu

My Toxic Life

Image
Oh me oh my, I've been on this real food journey for a while. My ability to feed my family real food is limited to my budget but I do the best I can to feed my family whole organic foods. I'm frequently frightened to see what's in our food. Even feeding my family healthfully. Like say chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets, my chicken has arsenic and the chickens are fed GMO feed? Are you kidding me? Well, thank God for Costco that is where I get my organic meat it's not pasture fed but it's the best I can afford. Recently, I was taking a prenatal vitamin and after I swallowed it I thought, I wonder what the ingredients are, after all I take this so when we conceive again (hopefully) that my folic acid level is healthy and whatnot, well come to find out my vitamins since they aren't organic are full of toxins. Eesh. Nearly three months ago I looked at what's in my shampoo, yikes. Thus began my "no shampoo" journey. So far, I'm w

Second Week, First Run and Spinach/Chicken Calzone

Image
Ran yesterday, plan this week is to run 3 miles first two runs then 3.5 last run of the week. Nothing too interesting, ran 3 miles, went slowly at 5.6, went hiking with the hubby on Saturday with some decent pain in my knees and wanted to take it slow in case I was sore or something. Had pain all down my right side towards the end and after, not sure what to think of that. I have a known hip injury that flares up sometimes on my right side, we'll have to wait and see what happens. Plan for dinner tonight was spinach and chicken calzone. In and effort to be more healthy, I made the calzone crust with whole wheat. Easy recipe from eatingwell.com, whole wheat flour, yeast, H2O, honey and salt. Quickly threw this together then let it rise twice, very simple. For the filling the original recipe calls for cooking the chicken in the frying pain with a little EVOO. I changed it up a little, I slowly boiled the chicken then shredded the chicken with two forks, cooked onion and garlic
