Yes, we have about four inches of snow today! It's so pretty outside! Our local schools are closed. Of course, for as little snow as we've received this year I insist on making hot chocolate every snowfall! So here I sit, sipping hot chocolate waiting for Maddy to get up!
It's been a very nice morning, really. I woke up naturally about 6:15 and felt really well rested. I slept virtually all night and went to bed about 30 minute early. So at 6:30 I got out of bed and set up a pilates video to work out with. Honestly, that wasn't all that great. It has three different sections, yoga, pilates and balance ball. Each activity is 30 minutes. Well, I only have time for about thirty minutes so I picked the pilates. It was ok, but nothing spectacular. Pretty easy actually. However, if the snow is still around during Maddy's nap, I will most likely go out and shovel. (I love to shovel.) So that will be a little bit more physical activity. Or, I have some weight videos I can do as well with my new weights. Of course, I hopped in the shower and now here I am.
Just a few things I want to get done today: clean bathrooms, make banana bread, sweep the family room, clean up down there--it's a mess again.
NEW MADDY THINGS: Cleaning with wipes, she goes everywhere and wipes everything. I swear she can spend 30 minutes just with a wipe cleaning things. She's really starting to experiment with a spoon now. She loves to stir real things like yogurt or soup. However, she's not trying to fed herself yet, so it makes me feeding her yogurt, soup, etc. quite impossible since she always whines for the spoon and dish! Walking. While she's not steady on her feet yet, she's walking about 40% of the time without me. About 30% she insists on holding my one finger and running around the house and the other 30% is still crawling. She can stand up in the middle of the floor on her own. She stands on her own for long periods of time without falling. Eating! She is willing to try everything in sight lately. It's been great! No fighting her for eating! Stacking, putting things 'in'--all are quite more advanced than they were a month ago. She loves to ride her little princess car and she pushes herself (backwards) around the house!
OK, well, have a great day everyone!
