6 Month update

I know I know, I should be posting a 7 month update but I am really far behind.  It has been a busy couple of months that I am going to recap in a few posts.  Currently, I am holed up inside my house waiting out the second of two typhoons in as many days so I have some time to get everything posted.

Now I Can: consistently roll from back to front, say "da-da", feed myself puffs

I Love: playing with the puppies, eating solid foods, and playing peek a boo

Daddy's Home!!!

DH finally came home from his "Guamazing" trip and we couldn't be happier.  Even though I kept myself busy (Does watching 8 seasons of Grey's Anatomy count??) I did miss talking to my best friend everyday.  These little trips are good for us though, what is the saying "distance makes the heart grow fonder"?  It keeps the relationship fresh and new and prevents falling into a rut. 

I tried to keep up with the photos everyday but that didn't happen but here's what I got off my iPhone.  I'll load the ones from my computer later...

5 Months Revisited

So, I completely forgot about the 5 month update with a picture...  I'm beginning to think pregnant brain is becoming a chronic problem :)  I've also decided that while DH is on "vacation" I'm going to take a selfie with Ethan everyday he is gone so he can still feel connected to us while he is so far away.  Enjoy!

5 Months

I Love: playing with my feet, laughing, sucking on my hands, rolling from side to side to see what is going on, splashing around in the bath tub, and sitting in the ocean with mama at the beach.

Now I Can: almost roll from my back to my tummy, make sounds like "ma-ma", eat oatmeal, scoot around the floor on my back to see things, finally touch the ground in my jumperoo, and wear 3-6 month clothes.

August Update

August is the month where my workouts and diet take it to the next level.  DH is off on a vacation for most of the month and it gives me time to regroup and get my shit together.  I plan on going back to the states in September and I don't want to be carrying around all this extra weight.  

Today was another exhausting workout in the middle of this Okinawa heat/humidity.  I don't know how the locals deal with this heat, I saw a woman today in a turtleneck, jeans, and stockings under the jeans.  I almost had a heat stroke FOR her.  

Anyways, neither here nor there, here is the workout we did today with my time posted below:

Getting Rid of the Baby Weight!

So it has been five days since I started my diet and I've lost a total of five pounds!!  I still have a long way to go and I hope to get within 10 pounds of my goal weight by the end of the year but the Crossfit workouts are really helping.  Everyday is a trial and error to find what foods I can eat and still lose weight while breastfeeding because I have notice my milk supply dropping since I've started working out regularly.   However, since Ethan hasn't been gaining much weight, we have been supplementing with formula for the last two months so the drop in milk supply hasn't been an issue.
In order to keep up with my progress at Crossfit, I am going to start logging my daily WOD with my time/reps.  Here is what we did today...

4 Month Photos!

A friend of mine here on the island is an amateur photographer and offered to take some of me and Ethan for his 4 month pics this last week and they turned out amazing!!  I can't wait for her to take some more!  I might have to get a nice camera as well and take up photography.  I couldn't ask for a better subject matter...

"Don't mind the naked baby in the basket in the park.  Nothing to see here."

The locals thought we were strange.
