I cannot believe that another month has gone by.  Time really is flying now.  Lily is growing up so fast that it just doesn't seem right.  I will say that it has been wonderful the past few weeks with Lily being able to bounce in her jumper!  It sure makes getting ready in the morning and eating super at night a lot easier.  She has finally started eating baby food too.  I am hoping this will help her put on some weight.  She is not a fan of rice or oatmeal cereal but is really starting to enjoy apples.  I am excited to see what else she likes or dislikes as we let her try new things.

As for everything else, I am so happy that fall is here.  I like it to be a bit cooler than it is now but at least it isn't has hot as it has been.  I can't wait to put out my Halloween stuff!  On October 4th-6th Lily will kinda sorta get her first experience with camping.  My mom and dad are taking the motor home and we are staying in a little cabin, however, we will be outside a lot and have camp fires and stuff so I am interested to see how she does.  I can't wait until she is big enough to actually go for real which will be a while considering by the time she does get old enough to enjoy it we will be having another baby lol.  I will make sure and post after the camping trip with how it went and photos.  Have a great week everyone! 

To endings and New beginnings!

             I can't believe I am saying this already, but I'm done with my first round of G-Fit!  I'm not going to lie... that first day was a boot camp day and I left thinking.. what the heck... I'm never going back, however, I went back every day and after the first week I started to kinda like it and by the end I had fallen in love with it.  I haven't had my final weigh in yet but I know I did pretty good.  I am already signed up for the next round, and can't wait to see what my future holds now that I found a work out program and diet that I like. Also in other things that are ending Josh is now done with night shift for a few months.  Thank Goodness!  Don't get me wrong, the nights he is home while on night shift are wonderful, we get to hang out and then I get to sleep all night and he takes care of Lily when she wakes up since he is awake anyway resulting in a full nights sleep for me.  But the odd schedule stinks, and we don't get to spend very much time together as a family.  Luckily they switch back and forth so we get the best of both worlds (yes I did sing that last line Hannah Montana style lol).   Another great thing about day shift is that Josh and I can eat lunch together while Lily is at daycare so it will give us some much needed us time.
             We got some us time last night!  Ashton and Wes babysat Lily for us and we went out to eat and to a movie.  We had fun but I do notice that going out, even without Lily, is still different from before Lily came along.  Mostly that staying out until almost Midnight is such a blast when you know when you get home that chances are you will have to wake up in a few hours lol.  Regardless it was a great time and the next one a few weeks from now should be better because I am doing G-Fit earlier next round.  They have started a 4:30-5:30 pm class instead of me having to go to a 6-7 pm.  That is great considering Football season is upon us and Josh's brothers play football on Friday nights and it starts at 7.
               Not a lot else has happened this month.  Lily finally had her 4 month check up at 4 and a half months old, got her shots.  She is in the 85 percentile for height and the 15 percentile for weight.  The doctor said everything looks good and we get to start her on food so be looking for pictures of that.  Plus in a little over a week she will be 5 months old so we will have an update there.   That being said I have nothing else for ya!  Hope you have a great weekend!
