Go away!!

These last 10 pregnancy pounds have out stayed their welcome. I gained about 35-40 lbs while I was pregnant. The first 25-30 lbs just melted away, but these last 10 lbs have obviously gotten comfortable on my belly, hips, and thighs. GO AWAY!!! I will worn you know... this blog may turn into a running blog. It will help hold me accountable. I promise I will still update about Kellyn! :)
I have been trying to workout. I work out when I can. I am usually up by 7 am, go to work at 4:30-8:30 and then work out until 9:30 ish. This is when Ryan is able to pick up Kellyn or if I don't forget my socks or sports bra. It seems like something always comes up and working out gets put on the back burner. This is no longer happening. I have made a goal to work out 6 days a week.
Before I got pregnant I would get up and workout at 6 am. I prefer to do this... but when i was getting up with Kellyn at 4:30 working out an hour and a half later was not even close to being on my mind. Well, she is now sleeping 10-12 hours every night so I no longer have an excuse. Starting tomorrow my butt will be getting up at 5:30 and working out. Ryan usually leaves at 6:30, so I will be home before he has to leave.
Another problem... I have NEVER been a distance runner. At least not a real distance runner. I can run a good 3 miles on the elliptical, but that isn't really running. I want to be able to run at least 3-5 miles every day outside or on a treadmill (when the weather is bad). Currently I can run a mile on the treadmill without dying... so I will be gradually increasing this. My goal is to be able to run 3-5 miles by spring so I can run outside pushing Kellyn in the stroller. My long term goal- put an extra emphasis on the long part- is to be able to run a Marathon. Ha, maybe in 5 years! :)
So, my plan is to post every day about my workout. This will help me actually do it! Good bye 10 pounds, I hope I never see you again!!

She found it!!

That is right my friends, Kellyn has found her thumb! She has been trying to find it for about a week. she would suck on the side of her hand, but couldn't figure out that she needed to stick her thumb out. Last night she finally got it. I have been waiting for this... I really don't want to have to break her of sucking her thumb, but she NEEDS to learn to self sooth. Normally when we lay her down at night her pacifier will fall out and she wakes up. Last night I laid her down and she woke up, but I just left her there and she sucked on her thumb and went to sleep on her own. This is HUGE news in our house. She has also slept all night long the last two nights. She was waking up at 4:30 -5 ish every night, but the last two nights she has slept for about 10 hours!! Now, if she could change her own diaper...:) I will try and get a picture of her sucking her thumb today. She looks so cute!

Kellyn is still sleeping! She went to sleep at 9 last night and it is currently 8:22 and she is still sleeping. I checked on her at 5:30 to make sure she was still breathing... and she was.
Nothing really new to report. She is trying really hard to sit up on her own and she scoots when she is on her belly. If she could figure out her arms she would be crawling.



This picture cracks me up. She was all bundled up and not happy about it.


Help me!



She sticks her tongue out at me a lot...

Pretty girl

I was trying to get a good picture of her hair... it is crazy in the morning!

Here is a video of her "dancing"... sorry I turned the camera the wrong way so just cock your head a little bit! :)

Now, this is where you go to the bathroom

The thing I love most about Ryan is the fact that there is never a dull moment. Last night Ryan decided she needed to wear a hat. So, we had a little hat fashion show... Kellyn was not a fan. Later Ryan was walking Kellyn around (thanks mom). While walking her around he was showing her every inch of our apartment.... The table where she will be doing homework, the sink where she will be doing a lot of dishes, and most importantly the bath room. While in the bath room Ryan showed her how to use the toilet. It was hilarious. Below is a picture of Kellyn sitting on the toilet and a picture of her reaction after. Enjoy!

There are also a couple of pictures of her hat fashion show.

Splish splash Kellyn is taking a bath!

Kellyn has starting loving her baths. She kicks her feet to splash the water, laughs and smiles. I have to watch her closely. I, of course, never leave her alone but I can't even turn around to get something because she will take a plunge! She squirms herself down and almost falls into the water. She also moves and almost flips over the net thing(whatever you call it). as you can see her hair is crazy when wet. it still drys fairly straight, but when it is wet it's super curly.
I have to bath her everyday (which they say not to do) because she smells!! Her hands stink because she gnaws on them and her neck stinks because of all her rolls. :) Stinky baby!
Well, off to work. Enjoy the pics!

Here are some pictures of Kellyn. Ryan's new nickname for her is Head and Shoulders... Her neck rolls now have rolls! :)
