16 Months


I love Kleenex




I was just sitting here reveling in wonder and disbelief. My baby is 16 months old. The last month has been explosive for her. She is no longer blabbering as much and is making more intentional verbal words. She will now repeat things you say and she is understanding more. Her new words this month are turtle, kitty, banana, please and more to name a few. There are many more but forgive I can't think of them at the moment.

She can now climb onto the couch. Which means she is capable of a lot more danger. So far she isn't playing in the toilets and I think that is because I accidentally smashed her finger in the lid one day. Hard lesson and certainly not intentional. She has grown 3 inches in the last 6 weeks and can now reach so much more. I'm having to learn the hard way to get rid of clutter on my desk habit. Because if I don't she will pull all my papers and clutter off onto the floor.

I think we have finally had a breakthrough with her and her eating. For the past three weeks she has been eating pretty much anything we give her. I can finally fix one thing for dinner because she will eat what we're eating. yay! She is still picky but hey she's a kid.

Last month we went on two weeks worth of vacation in one month and since then I haven't gotten her to sleep consistently. She wakes up on average of 1-3 times per night. I think I may have to find some thicker skin and let her cry a little more but I'm not there yet.

Okay, well I think that is all. We love our girl so much. I know how spoiled we are to have such an easy baby. I'll bet our next one will give me a run for my money. HA!

Love to help mommy garden

Hey Pretty girl

Finally got her to keep a pony tail in, one day only :)

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
