- Schedules Schedules Schedules -

I feel so lame when I get on Blogger to post something 'exciting' bc I realize these posts are not that exciting to anyone other than me...and maybe the grandparents. I'm not one of those delusional mothers that thinks everyone likes my child as much as I do, but she is my total life 24/7 so naturally all of my Robinson Reports circle around her so far. SO...the schedule yesterday worked out great, and Bailey slept last night for 11 hours straight. I think we found something that fits well for both of us - or all 3 of us, I guess. Happy baby = happy wife, and as we all know...happy wife = happy life (for Chris of course).

I went to get her from her afternoon nap just now, and she was sitting up in her crib. This may sound mundane to you, but that infers that she actually put herself into a sitting position from laying down. Ahhh, you see? She's learning something new! She only does this when she is able to push her legs off of something - the sides of her crib in this case - and sits up. She has not done this maneuver just yet outside of her crib. In fact, she starts everything in her crib before she tries it out in the real world. I think she gets better traction and leverage in there, and we have slippery rugs and hard travertine all over the house...not ideal I guess. She did a face plant on the rug in the living room last week and scuuu-reeeeamed her poor little head off. She was also quite tired at the moment and I guess it felt good to cry harder than usual. Poor little tater tot.

Yesterday I also started back on my meal plan so that I can start to slowly shed some weight. I don't feel justified in telling people that my fat is from my baby bc then they say 'how old is she' ... and I say 9 months. They look like 'so...you have had 9 months to lose weight...' Yea, so I'm actually going to try now. My meal plan is 1500 calories and I pick food from each column to eat each day. It was customized for me by my friend Amy who, by the way, will do one for you for $150 I think - it's very much worth it. Anyways, now that I have blogged about that, I have no choice but to stick with it!!! Chris has dropped 18 pounds so far and has motivated me to jump right in there and try try again.
