from swim suit to snow suit :)

Addie LOVES the snow! We were out and about when it started coming down, and she was smiling and pointing to the flakes. While we waited for our chinese food, she stood at the shop's door, staring out at the snow. I think she is going to be my little snowboarder/surfer thrill seeker :)





Its been a crazy week. This has been the first full week back to work for us since before Christmas, and it was quite an adjustment! We have been busy running around getting ready for Addison's Polka Dot first birthday party, and trying to dodge the yucky weather this week brought us. I am still in complete disbelief that a year has gone by...it just doesnt seem possible. Where did the time go? I was watching Everybody loves Raymond with Josh yesterday, and it was the episode where Ray and Allie are at the father daughter dance and he is thinking back to the day she was born...and I cried. Josh was like, "Are you really crying?!" But yes, yes I was. Like a baby. I am so anxious for her to learn and grow and develop more quirks, but at the same time I want to hold her and cuddle her in my lap forever.

Speaking of quirks, this girl has a mind of her own :) We all knew that, but here are some new things:

In her highchair, when she is done eating, she starts "stashing" food under the pad of the chair. Its like her stash for later, because when she is really hungry, she will go over to her highchair and start looking for crumbs that we missed. Gross, but hilarious.

She likes to either ride her car backwards, or she likes to sit on it with one leg under her. Its interesting, though, when I tell her she needs to sit on it the right way, she knows what I am saying and will put her feet over the sides like she is supposed to. She just doesnt prefer it like that :)


She loves to fall down. If she falls down on accident, she will inevitably fall down a few times afterward on purpose and laugh because she thinks its funny. It wont be so funny when she wipes out in the wrong place!

I have now signed up for the 10-10-10 at work. Basically, I have ten weeks to lose ten pounds, and I paid $10. If I lose the 10 pounds, then the "pot" gets splitbetween everyone who lost the weight, and those who didnt lose their money. So there is a potential of making a profit off of this, and I am determined!
Here is my weight loss ticker, but the four pounds was weight that I lost before I weighed in, so I still have at least 10 lbs to go! I have 10lbs until I am FINALLY at my prepregnancy weight. I have been working out a couple times a week, so hopefully this will be the last push I need to get back in shape!!
