I figured I would get on here while I'm waiting for my dinner to finish.
April is on a roll... she's non stop now. I see a glimpse of the "terrible twos" however. She is listening only half the time now... she's not bad or anything she thinks it is a game sometimes. Once she knows your serious she usually stops what she is doing and listens. Her teeth have popped through finally. She's learned a few more things. At night when it's bed time, I tell her it is time to go get pjs on or it's bed time and she's on her way to her room. She'll stand at her crib and wait for me to put her in it. She hasn't learned how to climb in or out yet even though she has tried. When I ask her if she's hungry she'll walk over to her chair and wait for me to put her in it. She can climb up in that however but I don't let her. She tries to climb in the bath tub.. but for safety reasons I don't let her do that either lol. I can just see her slipping and cracking her head open... she has also learned how to climb up on her changing table. In the near future I'm going to enroll her in a tumbling class. She loves tumbling and climbing. I've been teaching her how to do summersaults. She can't do them by herself but when I help her she knows the motions.
Her eating habits are picking up. She can actually eat a whole hot dog of course cut up in small pieces. She loves mac and cheese. She also loves veggies. I made turkey with veggies which included peppers and she ate the peppers too. I want her to like all types of food as much as possible. She had fish the other night, I don't know about that. It was fried. She likes salmon. But this I think was her first fried fish. She also knows that when her diaper is wet it should come off. I'm not to thrilled about that one yet... she'll strip down to nothing all because her diaper is wet. Her personality is developing more and more every day. She's stubborn but so goofy at the same time. She likes dancing to any kind of music.
Everything else is going ok. My car is back in working order after dropping a new radiator into it. Stupid Kings Dodge people... never ever again will I ever take my car there. But I'm lucky to have Jason who worked his magic on it and it actually drives better then when KD worked on it. Go figure. It's smooth again. I still can't wait to get rid of it however. I feel like it's a ticking time bomb. It's dependable for the most part however so I shouldn't complain too much about it.
Work is going great. I love my job so much. I love the interaction with the dogs. They're great. I learn a good amount of stuff also and I like that. I also like it because of the physical work. I don't just stand around. I move all the time. Which has helped me out so much with my losing weight. 18 pounds is a huge accomplishment for me. What makes it even better is that I'm maintaining it. I don't have to give up my favorite foods at all. We still do fast food here and there and I don't have to stress out over it. I changed the way I eat and I'm actually liking it.
I can't wait for the holidays. I look forward to it every year. Not about the gifts or whatever, but about being with my family. This past year was a tough one for my family. Health issues and personal issues really took a huge toll on my family. But everyone is doing better and that's all that matters. We've all said words that we wish that we could take back who hasn't? But the fact is they been said and we're still family. I love my family, and I know that if something ever happened to any of them I would be upset. But anyways, that's why I love the holidays. I look forward to it more because of April. She is going to have a blast this year with Christmas between all her grandma's she's going to have fun.
Our friends dad is getting married next month and I'm so excited because I was asked to take pictures. It's going to be fun. I had a blast taking pictures at Mandi's wedding I can't wait. It's going to be an exciting next two months... Birthdays and holidays and a wedding... Jason and I just hit our three year mark which we have yet to have our outback dinner but we will lol. It's hard now with the hours that he works.. But we will have it. He bought me flowers which are so pretty. They are purple and opened up so beautifully. I am so lucky to be with some one like him. I love him more and more every day.
Well..I think that's it lol. I have really gone on way to long.. I'm off to eat my fish now.
