I'm such a BIG Girl!!! 14 Weeks and I'm already in my 6 month clothes!
So I thought when I went back to work I'd have more time to blog, boy was I wrong! We've been so busy! I sold 4 homes in my first 2 weeks backs. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.
My first day back was a little rough. I backed out the driveway and cried. Realized I'd ruin my makeup and stopped immediately. Then went to work, felt pretty miserable, came home and cried to Violet. I told her I did't want to go back and that we needed to figure out some way for me to stay home. I seeked outside advice and Aunt Lindsey told me to go ahead and win the lottery.
Yeah...I'll get right on that.
Since that didn't happen I sucked it up and went back on Sunday and had a great day! Got my first lot hold and fell back in my groove. I missed Violet, of course, but boy did it feel good to get back in the saddle again. I mean, it's been 12 weeks! So unless I do win the lottery it looks like I'll be staying at my job.
I have to admit it feels so good dressing in work clothes again. Wow, never thought I'd be saying that! Sweats and yoga pants are still the greatest invention ever, but walking in a pair of heels and a pressed suit definitely feels good. Plus, since I've lost so much weight it's like I have a whole new wardrobe! I'm wearing my business suits, dress pants and skirts from 7 years ago when I first started at Lennar. We're talking back when I was still teaching aerobics 7 days a week and rock solid! I may not be rock solid so to speak, but I am looking good and loving it! Next time I gain weight I'll just have another baby so I can lose it all again :) Please Karma don't catch up to me for gloating!
Violet will always have better style then me so before she gets too old and too cool I'll continue to dress like her and document it on the internet.
Another great thing about being able to dress your kid. You can make them wear things that say "I adore Mommy" and "Daddy Rocks." If only she'd wear this shirt when she's 17.
This is such a great picture! So we're having play time and then I see my kid start to bend backwards to see the TV. Yep, my kid is actually bending her head backwards to watch the Oscar's. Awesome. Apparently we already have a TV addict in the house. I guess I'll have to activate the parental controls. Bring on the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. No HBO for this little one!
AHHHhhhhhhhh!!! A PINK BUTTERFLY!!!
Today at 14 weeks old my little baby has discovered the Bumbo and is sitting all by herself! Look how proud she is. It's like she knows she's a Rockstar!
Violet can never get enough of Nana. Nana recorded her voice on this toy bunny and when you squeeze it Nana's voice comes out and talks to Violet. It's super cute because her face lights up and her eyes get really big. The best part is, when you squeeze it, Roxi comes running, tail wagging and all! All the ladies in the house love their Nana. It's so cute.
I'm only 3 months old and wearing 6 month clothes!
Today is a day full of big accomplishments! First the bumbo and now Graduation day! We have graduated out of the sling and into the Big Girl Tub! Okay so she probably should've been out of the new born bath swing a long time ago but Mommy didn't read the directions and is still figuring out how all this stuff works. Luckily we have Google and Aunt Lindsey to tell us when and how to do things.
Violet had so much fun and I've got the water all over the mirror to prove it! Splish Splash
She's Taking a Bath!
Super Baby! I wish this picture would have turned out better. She was smiling and having so much fun. Next time I'm taking video of the whole thing. I wish I could document everything at all times. I swear I find myself saying, I wish I had my camera, more than 3 times a day. She's just so animated.
This girl LOVES looking at herself in the mirror. Huge smiles! Today she was spitting so many spit bubbles at her reflection it was like she was trying to one up herself. I think she's got a little narcissism in her. I'm sure she gets that from her Mom.
We went and surprised Daddy at work today. Violet was a hit! Daddy's boss and all his coworkers thought she was just the cutest thing. She did so good too! Lots of first for her 14 week birthday! I can't believe it's been 14 weeks!
