Catching Up!

Well, my intentions are good.....but I just never have enough time.  I just uploaded all of our December photos to the Shutterfly site. That includes all of our Santa photos, playing in the snow, Maddyn's 3rd birthday party and Christmas.  I have a few videos- and as long as they aren't too big, I"ll put them below.

Today Halas is 6 months old. I made it to my EBF (Exclusivly Breast Feeding) goal.  I've already started weaning, but am targeting to be completely weaned by mid-end Feb. We'll see. I am glad I have such a huge stash built up, so it makes our transition easier.  Today we also started solids. Halas had her first few spoonfulls of cereal.  She liked it more than Maddyn did, but still wasn't really gung-ho. That's fine with me. I forgot how messy that stuff is! LOL. I had to bring the highchair back up too- and I forgot how big it was. There goes my kitchen for the next year ;)

Maddyn and Halas had been pretty sick earlier in the month. Both were on nebulizers and breathing treatments and things were chaotic. We're finally all healthy now, so that is making things a little easier. My travel for work is a little crazy- so we're trying to just get ourselves into a routine to keep things simpler around here. 

Since Halas is 6 months old now, I'm making myself get back into shape. I have been putting off dieting b/c of the nursing, but I really don't have an excuse any longer. I need to lose these last 25 lbs- nothing fits! So let's hope that WW and some good exercise will work for me again. Fingers crossed.

I will be taking Halas's 6 month "Pro" photos next weekend, but I did have a little mini-shoot with the girls in some Bears gear. While our  beloved Bears lost, I did get some cute takes. Here's a sample, I'll put the rest on Shutterfly once I can edit them!!

Those videos I promised:
