Grandma Billie got the girls and I a Wii for Christmas, which we absolutely love! Kinsley, has become addicted to Guitar Hero, that is when she can steal it away from her dad long enough to play it. Karly likes it as well, but has better luck with Wii Sports than Guitar Hero, she particular likes baseball. Needless to say, they were not looking forward to going back to school today.
Juliana has now started eating table food and in doing so has become so independent. She nearly refuses to eat baby food out of a jar, or as they come now a plastic tub, and insists on feeding herself. I don't know that she has developed any favorites yet, although she really likes strawberry cereal bars (she's showing it off in the picture).
I normally don't make New Years Resolutions, why set myself up for failure? Especially resolutions about diet, exercise or weight. But, after playing Wii Boxing and being nearly breathless after a couple rounds and having sore back muscles the next day, I decided it's time to do more with my Y membership than just having the dues deducted from my checking account. Saturday morning I went to Step Aerobics. Yesterday I didn't feel so bad, today my abs and calves are a little sore, but I actually feel like maybe I'm not as in bad a shape as I thought I was. My "goal" is to make it 3 out of 4 Saturdays a month. Momma B and I have also decided that 2 nights a week we are going to take the girls to the Y and just be active, climb the wall, play basketball, walk the track, do something with the girls to encourage more physical activity in all of us. Tonight is the first night. Getting in the routine of doing it is going to be the hardest part, but hopefully between her and I and the 4 biggest girls, we can all keep each other motivated.
