well, so much for that

So much for sticking to my workout schedule. I've already fallen off the wagon and it's only been a week or so since I wrote that post!

Also, so much for Feli sleeping through the night. I thought she would get back to sleeping straight through from early evening to early morning...but alas, she has other plans for me. I think she has now discovered that playing and crawling is much more fun than sleeping. So we struggle to get her to sleep at night (she wants to hang out with us even when her head flops backward/forward and her eyes are all googly). Then, when she finally falls asleep, she wakes up 5 hours later (around 1am-ish) to crawl around the crib and cry for me. Then when I finally get her back to sleep, she wakes up at 4. It's a great pattern...I'm sooooo close to bringing her into bed with us from now on and forget this whole crib/sleep training business. Or maybe I should start swaddling her again?


I know, cute but kind of mean at 6/7 months...

Anyways, right now she's having a long morning nap so it's giving me a bit of time to relax and post when I should really be cleaning. Or exercising but...yeah, no.

Oh and we've been feeding her more complex foods now...less of the blended up single veggie/fruit, and more of a variety of flavours all at once. She ate Victor's baccalau (cod fish and shoe string potatoes, scrambled egg, parsley, garlic and onions...mmmmm) and loved it! Here she is wanting more:


I also made her the yummiest banana breakfast this morning: a few slices of banana sauteed in butter with a sprinkle of cinnamon - then mashed with a fork. I added a small teaspoon of apple cinnamon oatmeal baby cereal and voila, the yummiest breakfast that I was actually tempted to eat. She wasn't as keen on it as I thought she would be.


But if I spoke to her in high pitch baby speak (REALLY ANNOYINGLY), she would open her mouth for me. I was all "oooooooopen monkeYYYYYYYY! ooooooooooooopennnnnnnn ...gooooooooooooooood girrrrrrl! yuuuuuummmmmy yum yummmmmmers!" Victor was laughing at me but it was the only way she would open her mouth. Ah, the joys of mom-hood. Being annoying as hell and not caring :)

So today we're going to go to the local community centre to sign up for baby yoga out here in the burbs. Maybe that'll get me back on the fitness wagon. And I'm going to plan a hike for this weekend (if the weather is better) to kick this ba-donk-donk back into shape.
