3 Months and a Bit

Jolie turned 3 months last week, and I was too busy to post pictures. She has had a few changes since her last pictures. She was a big girl and got her ears pierced. Her hair is growing, and she's laughing and smiling a lot(wasn't lucky enough to get any on camera). I love this baby so much. She is wonderful. She sleeps through the night, eats great, hardly ever cries, and demands little attention. I feel bad at times because she is so good. The only thing she is having a hard time with is tummy time. I hate tummy time. I never had to do it with Jayden because he loved sleeping on his stomach. I know I'm a terrible mother and I let my newborn sleep on their stomach. Jolie hates it though. She wears herself out crying that she ends up just falling asleep which I don't think is the point. We're working on it though. We love her and I am so grateful to have such a wonderful baby girl.

About Time

With my mom being a fabulous seamstress it's made me a bit lazy in the sewing department. I bought a machine just like hers a while ago with good intentions. I've done a few minor things, but nothing worth sharing and all with my mom's help. This past week I finally did something I was proud of. I hemmed two pairs of Jayden's pants, made baby legs for Jolie, and sewed a bunch of yo-yo's for Jolie and me. Matt has even done some repairs with the sewing machine. I love my machine. It's simple, heavy duty, and exactly like my mom's which makes it great when I have a question. More projects to come.

G-Ma's 75th B-day

My Grandma(mom's mom) turns the big 75 today. Yesterday there was a open house and then a birthday party for her at Aunt Nan's. My G-ma lives in Indiana, so the siblings flew her out here for the shin dig(sic). We got to decorate the dessert table and make some goodies for everyone. It turned out really pretty and it was a lot of fun to do. One of the pictures is a four generation with my grandma, my mom, Jeanie Pearl and me, and then my sweet Jolie Kate. Happy Birthday Grandma.

Perfect

So I managed to not have one Oreo since my post last week. Pretty good huh. Still no weight off though. Matt keeps telling me not to get frustrated, that I'm fine, and that I have to be patient. I used to think I was a patient person. I'm not so sure about that anymore.

Good Bye Goodness

This little guy right here has been my love for many many years. Ever since I was little I have been obsessed with Oreos. Back in the day when my Mom switched to Sam's version of Twist and Shout's it just wasn't the same. This has been a staple on my grocery list as well. Well now after a very long relationship, I am saying good bye to my frenemy, until I am back down to my pre pregnancy weight. The workouts are going good, but the weight isn't coming off. I think it might have something to do with the three Oreo cookies and cup of milk I have every night after my kids are asleep. That's 210 calories for the cookies, and another 100 calories for my 1% milk. That's basically 30 minutes of cardio I have to do for maybe 5 minutes of pleasure. So I'm breaking up with the Oreo. I will miss all of that creamy chocolaty goodness. The sacrifices we make to have babies I swear.

It's Over

We had a fun Halloween. The funnest part is getting all dressed up. My Mom was hilarious, Jeanie was super scary, and we were super camo'd(sic) out. We're already looking forward to next Halloween. James will be here and then we can really have us a party.
