My PB + J

yum, yum, yum. . . delicioso!

First off, from the title, don’t judge me. I really don’t love Dora, that saying has always stuck with me from the countless hours of watching Dora with my Nieces and Nephew.
As many of you read earlier this week we got the go-ahead from our Pediatrician to start Payton on rice cereal because she isn’t getting enough from her formula feedings. Jim and I were so excited to start this because we’re demented and wanted to see our little one’s face with cereal all over it. We didn’t have high expectations for her loving it or for her to even put a dent into the portion. We just wanted her to get a taste for what’s to come. After about five spoonfuls she got the spoon-to-mouth action down. I am so happy we made it through the first feeding without her whaling into tears or gagging. I guess we just have one little eater on our hands. I am one proud mama!

Flab-Flab, Go Away {Friday’s}

This will be short and sweet. I have sucked at making it to the gym. I did, however, make it to spin class tonight and survived the one-hour class. I am a new lover of spin. My first class sucked BIG TIME, but with the persistence of my friend Jinger and the hot pair of Specialized “Spirita” bike shoes she purchased for me I have zero excuses. On a side note, who does that? I guess I have one amazing friend who really wants to ensure this baby flab sheds quickly enough for us to make it to her early Vegas soiree.
Here’s the stats:
Weight Loss: 157.5 pounds, down 1.5 pounds
BMI: 25.33 down a smidgen.
I did pass my first deadline this Wednesday. I was supposed to have made it to my first goal weight of 148 but with limited (or no) gym time I am lucky that I am only 9.5 pounds away. Which just sounds crazy in itself that I am that close. Dear spin, help me shed this 9.5 pounds within the next month. Pretty, pretty please!
Check out my bike-a-licious shoes. Be jealous. 😀

BabyLegs® GIVEAWAY!

I am so happy to share with my lovely readers about baby legs! These versatile leg warmers/socks are perfect for cool mornings or after the warm summer sun has set. I purchased a few pairs for Payton after hearing such great reviews about their convenience for crawling toddlers to protect their knees, or for the ease of changing diapers on little ones. Plus, with their cute designs they add sass to any plain white onesie. The company started in April of 2005, when mom, Nicole Donnelly was in a bind. Her daughter had a diaper rash that just wouldn’t quit and she needed some diaper-free time. Wanting to keep her daughter warm, Nicole snipped the feet off of a pair of socks and fitted her daughter from hip to ankle with the coolest set of leg warmers. These leg warmers not only kept her daughter warm, but also protected her from the elements, made diaper changing and potty training easier, and protected her soft knees while crawling. With some fun designs and some grassroots marketing support, the functional and fashionable leg warmers that began as a solution to keep little legs warm quickly became much more.

4 Month Sweet Baby P

Dear Sweet Little P-

We have reached your fourth month. With each passing month I recall the day I met you and wonder where you had been my whole life. You are a dream baby, literally. I know each mother brags about their child but everyone who meets you or hears about how good you are tells us how lucky we are and wonders when we will give you a sibling. We know we are blessed to have a child who is happy 95% of the time, sleeps 8-12 hours a night, is calm, content and overall loves everything you encounter. This includes your big sister, Delilah, who gives you countless kisses in your mouth, grooming and licks. But, you show her who’s boss by pulling her fur and tracking her every moment. I cannot wait for the day when you tell her “no! duh-wri–wah“. For now, we will settle for the countless copying coos that you give us and giggles that come deep from your belly. Day’s where you sleep and sleep I cannot wait for you to wake-up because you are hilarious and such a joy to be around and truthfully I am bored without you. You also have a new found love for your hands, anything that your hands can reach will soothe you for a while; including our fingers which seem to bring you to dreamland on fussy days. You had been eyeing your toes for almost a month and with each day you became more flexible, finally getting those little piggies into your mouth. I love observing your determination on working those little babies into your mouth, you crack me up every time. Your head is pretty stable now so you finally got to go into your jumperoo this past weekend. You love it. Over the past month you have started teething, there is no sign of your first tooth but your gums are becoming more white. I seem to think it will pop through right around next month, we’ll see if I am right. As usual with each passing month you get to experience more and more and you are growing like a weed. Here is what else has happened this past month:
– The most major event was that you finally got to meet your Grandmom Julie from New Jersey. Her and Tony came out on Grandma Barr’s birthday and stayed until after you were baptized on your 4-month birthday (4/18). While they were here we took you to downtown Disney to show them another part of SoCal.
– You and I were baptized together. Your God Parents are Travis and Suzanne.
– You celebrated your first Easter and first major earthquake.
-Mommy went back to work and naturally we all survived.
– You rolled over six times on Easter night.
– Sleeping exclusively in your crib unless Mommy misses you and steals you from your crib.
– Not a fan of your swing any longer.
Four-Month Stats:
15 pounds 1.9 ounces (90th percentile)
25 inches long (90th percentile)
head circumference 42
Dr. Martinez says you’re the size of a six to seven-month-old. She has instructed us to begin you on rice cereal because you are not getting enough with just formula. We are going through 1 1/2 cans per week. Once you get used to the cereal she said to start you on yellow and orange veggies. yay! Daddy and I cannot wait. We will be trying this for the first time tonight.
We love you peanut. Thank you for being our perfect angel.
Mommy

Checking out your jumperoo for the first time. The first day you needed some assistance reaching the floor but by the next day you were fine.
