I lost 0.2 lbs last week, what a joke!  HA!  I will not beat myself up about it though because a couple of things probably affected my weight that won't be an issue in future weeks....and going out to dinner, which involved lots of fried pepper jack cheese, the night before my weigh-in wasn't the wisest of choices (although it was a tasty one!).  

On the upside - I lost an inch each on those hips and chest!  YAY!

Training was kind of eh this week - I sprinkled in quite a few rest days, which I needed. It was good for me, and my quads actually don't feel too bad this morning!  I had planned today to be a rest day after two days of running, but maybe I'll do a swim instead.  :D

Avery also had a weigh-in and measurements today - her 4 month checkup!  She passed with flying colors!   She's now 13 lbs, 4.8 oz and in the 25-50th percentile for both weight and height!  (Up from 10%).  She's not even measuring as a preemie anymore...on milestones or weight/height measurements!  WTG Kiddo!   I was told that we could start introducing solids.  Yikes!  People with kiddos always tell you "they grow up fast," but this is the first time I've experienced it for myself.
4 months old - compared to the heartbeat bear.  She's finally bigger than it!
Avery and the same bear at 2 weeks old.
She got 5 vaccines today, 4 shots and an oral.  She was VERY displeased and cried non-stop until we left the doctor's office and had the soothing feeling of sucking on a paci while riding in a car.  She promptly fell asleep, so....not gonna lie...I stopped at the store for rice cereal, little bowls and little spoons on the way home.  LOL.  For some reason normal things made little for babies is super cool to me this morning.
Munchkin bowls
Tommee tippee spoons.

  1. Your daughter is so cute!

    I definitely sprinkled in way more rest days than I meant to last week, too. It's a new week, though. Wahoo!

  4. If it makes you feel better, O'Charley's gave me a little bit of heartburn. Worth it, though. You are seriously one of my bestest friends and I had fun!

    You should let Keith come feed Avery. He needs to learn where the splash zone is!

  6. I ended up with 2 forced (because of work) rest days last week too. I was mad but got over it. My week was good and went by super fast - as this whole year has! I would seriously have to buy every color of those spoons & bowls!

  8. Congrats on 4 months! She is beautiful. Shots are so sad, but I did enjoy the extra sleepiness that resulted from it... by the way, if she's not into food at all yet, don't worry about it. Many babies start getting more interested at 5-6 months, and we waited til about 5 1/2. It's a really fun new stage!

    Starting solids is fun because it's a huge mess and the don't actually eat ANYthing, haha.
