28 lbs lost...

Trying to lose weight.... I would really like to lose 30 more pounds so I'd be back to pre-pregnancy weight, but I am happy with the 28 pounds I have lost since Oct. 09... I worked out hard for a good month and 1/2 and then I just started eating better. I need to get working out again and the weight will just drop off... this is April of last year, compared to May of this year... I feel a little more confident these days!! 30 pounds isn't that much!! I can do it!!!!

April 2009, Easter Egg Hunt

May 2010, swimming playdate...

Potty Training.... It's time to buckle downO

Tori is still refusing to go # 2 in the potty. I have decided it is time to really take action. I am going to Toys-R-Us to purchase her new favorite Backyardigan movie, The Robot Repairman. Then I am going to sit it up on top of the refrigerator, where she can see it, until she has 5 days with no accidents.(Happy faces on her chart) Once she gets 5 happy faces she will get her new movie.

We are sitting on the potty for 10 minutes, 3 x's a day, until we have success...

She's no very happy with me, but we are trying to make this a fun experiance... 

She has to sit until the timer "dings!"

This was our first try with the timer... I sure hope this works!!

We finally have....

Hanging out with some of my favorite people in the world...

So this week I am staying with my brothers and sisters at my parents house, while they are in Jamaica! We are already having a blast! They love to play with Tori and I am getting spoiled rotten with all these extra hands!! Looking forward to a week of swimming every day, and just enjoying the beginning of their summer break with them!!

"Mommy my nose is hurtin"

This is all I heard all morning. Tori's nose was bugging her for sure. She kept picking and picking. I tried to help her blow her nose, I tried to look in her nose to see if anything was there, I saw nothing!! Finally I just said "Baby, I'm sorry your nose hurts just keep trying to blow it when you need to" Adam got home around noon, and she was still whining. Right after lunch, she blew her nose hard one good time and out popped a popcorn kernel... wow lol we had to laugh, and Tori was just so relieved that it was out that she just laughed with us... We then had along talk about how we do not stick things in our nose or our ears because it could hurt us! haha... All in a days work!!
