Weight in Wednesday 3/7/12

Well, I missed posting last week... I was visiting my parents and their scale was different than mine, so I just skipped it. Then this past weekend hit, adn I had a baby shower and birthday party, and let myself cheat, and between that and pms I had gained back 3-4 pounds (I think some was water weight) but when I weighed myself on monday I was at 232... But I got back on track, and have been doing good! So here are my stats:

Starting weight: 245
Last weeks weight: 230 (actually 2 weeks ago)
This weeks weight: 227
Total weight loss: 18 lbs!

I am glad to finally be back on track, and I am determined to stay on track! Now I need to start working out more!

Wordless Wednesday

I took advantage of the spring like weather while visiting my parents last week...
(warning, picture overload!)

Showing Off!

Showing off his big boy underwear! Yay!

And Just because he is adorable!

Wordless Wednesday

Riding on the quad with mommy. =)

My first real sewing project!

Well, this one is actually my second, but my first is a gift and I can't post it yet! hehe.

I have sewn a few little things here and there, but this was my first real one using a pattern, and pinning fabric, etc. It was a lot of trial and error, and quite a bit of ripping out seams, haha, but I finished!

So, what is it? A dress for Ellie! I used a pattern, but then changed it to be a reversible dress, which is what the trial part was. I had the idea in my head, but then just had to figure out exactly how to do it. But, it came out good, and I am quite proud of myself!

One side

And the other side!

And just because it's cute! (it looks like the back is open because I only hooked one of the buttons, not both. =)

I think I can say it!

We have hit potty training success!

We are through day 4 of no accidents! And he has woken up several days in the morning and after naps with a dry pull-up!

He is doing so well, and i am so happy that I can now say I only have one in diapers! (well, except for the pull ups at night until we are sure he can make it... but I got a couple packs on clearance at CVS for $3.50!)

My little boy is turning into a big boy! Not so much a baby anymore!

11 months old!

Elise... 11 months ago exactly, you were born.

I can't believe how much you have grown and changed and developed a personality! You are definitely a go getter and independent!

You are officially walking. Up until last week you would only take a couple steps here and there, but preferred to crawl still... but now you are walking all over!

You are 19 1/2 pounds, and right in the middle of the growth charts! Just like your brother! you are wearing some 12 month clothes, and some 6-9 month clothes still fit.

You love to eat. If you are ready to eat and mommy isn't ready, you throw a fit! you love roasted squash, multi-grain cheerios and grapes! you'll eat any baby food we give you. You don't care too much for eggs, but we are working on it! You eat most things we give you, so hopefully that stays!

you now have 6 teeth! 6! You are way ahead of your big brother who didn't have six until he was 15 months old! I think you are even starting to cut two more! And of course you had to be different and cut your eye teeth on top before you cut your middle two. Thankfully they came soon after so you didn't look like a vampire!

You are always on the go. you don't want to be held or cuddled, and would much rather be playing or toddling around. You really don't like to sit still to get your diaper changed!

You love your mommy. Unlike big brother who was a daddy's boy, you are a mama's girl. when you don;t feel good, you want your mommy. like this week... you've had a pretty nasty cold, and a couple days all you wanted was to be in sight of mommy.

you still are babbling a lot, but not talking much. You say dada, and I think you say doggie (but it sounds like dada too.) no mama yet. you do some signs, like milk, eat, more and all done. =)

You got to play in the dirt for the first time last week and loved it!

you are going to be a year old next month! I can't believe it! We all love you so much!
