10 Months/Mama's Accomplishment

A lot has been accomplished in this past month.  We had our first Easter, mother's day, our first, second, third and FOURTH tooth.  We are eating pretty much anything we can get our hands on, saying mama, dada, baba, nana (not sure what that means yet) and most recently, started to say byebye.  You are down to two naps and sleep a solid 12 hours at night.  Mama can now sleep through the night.  That is FANTASTIC!!!  Personally I am pretty happy with the next accomplishment, mama has reached her first fitness goal.

Easter was fabulous.  Auntie Cella came to visit and we went on a hike.  Easter dinner was great.  We had ham and enjoyed the company of each other.  It was a fantastic afternoon.

Mother's Day was a lot of fun this year.  It was the first one I had.  Well I had one last year, but I was pregnant.  This year, it meant so much more to me.  Waking up that morning, walking into Kaydance's room, being greeted with that HUGE grin of hers, made my heart swell.  For a moment, I understood, just a little bit, what true, perfect love was about.

We went to church and ate some great food with some good friends.  I have decided that on the years that we are alone, I want to always go over to friends houses for the day.  It was great to share it with friends.

Well, true to form, Kaydance decided to not only cut her first tooth, but her first four.  Everything she does is all in or nothing at all.  Why would her teeth be any different.  She had a tough time with the fourth one, but other than that, did pretty well.

You are very vocal now, lil' Darlin.  You are also SUPER fast at crawling.  You climb up the bean bags all the time and have no problem getting to where ever you want to be.  You are crusin from thing to thing, but not letting go yet.  We got you one of those push carts and believe that you will figure the thing out soon.  Right now, you push it all over the house while crawling.

Mama's Accomplishment:

I am running 15 miles a week now.  Mostly I run that WITH the stroller.  Occasionally I am able to run without the stroller because dada or grammy relieves me for a bit.  Those are wonderful days.  I am able to run a lot further on those days.  I am also 3 inches smaller around my waist than before.  It is amazing how even with all that change, I am still not into my old shorts, but you know what, I am feeling pretty good.

My new goal, to train for a half-marathon.  I would also like to do that marathon with the stroller.  I think that it is super important to not only take great care of myself, but to also teach Kaydance how to live a healthy life.  I feel that it would be great to cross that finish line by myself, but to do it with her too, would be even better.  So here's to my new goal . . . Ready Set Go!!!
