Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Last night Molly and I went out to the High School to watch Drew's game. We had so much fun visiting with friends and watching baseball.

Famous Face
Check out this month's issue of the Baylor Magazine
I'm sure it has lots of fabulously written articles and info but the best part is on page 55.
See that adorable little face in the bottom right corner. YEP that would be MOLLY!

And She's Off
It official (again a little late) she's crawling! This is the best video I've gotten so far.
And literally two nights later I came back into her room to find this sweet little nugget pulled up on her crib.

8 Months
Molly,
I'm amazed at how much you've done in the last month. You've said your own version of Momma (which sounds a little more like bomma) and you'll hold your arms out to me and cry "Bomma". You've done the same thing with Daddy (which is more like Dddda). These last few weeks you've looked like you're really wanting to crawl and now you have. You really have to want whatever it is to put out the effort but it's fun to watch. You like to go a little ways and then sit back up on your booty. In the mornings when I get ready you like to use my PJ pants to pull yourself up and today you pulled up on your crib.
You LOVE your picnic basket and new stuffed Dixie dog. Blocks and anything else hard you can chew on is still a favorite. You don't spend much time in your excersaucer at home but love it and the walker at Miss Ps. You'll play with your piano and anything else that lights up. Right now your "no no, not for Molly toys" are the remote, mommy's phone & keys. You love to make faces at familiar faces but if you're sleepy you're not as willing to give out smiles. You love your "Sweet Molly-Molls" & "Little Molly" songs that I sing to you.
You got the flu this last month & pulled the laptop over on yourself but no major trips to the doctor's thank goodness. You're wearing some 6 month clothes but have moved into the 9 month stuff. You just started to wear size 3 diapers. I don't know what we're going to do with out the tell tale blue line :) There's still no teeth but maybe they'll pop up soon.
You go to bed around 8 and sleep for 6 hours or so. Then you eat and fall back to sleep until it's time to get up. You've tried quite a lot of food by now but don't really seem all that interested in eating it. I've started just mashing what's on my plate and letting you try it. You for sure don't like carrots or peas. You'll eat bananas and squash and sweet potatoes though.
I love you little one! Let's see what wonderful new things this next month will bring.

Pantry Makeover
I've tried a couple times to reorganize the pantry. It makes it easier to cook, packs lunches, make a grocery list, etc. when it's nice and tidy. I thought I'd figured it out but it just wasn't functional.
So now I've overhauled it yet again. My mom found these can organizers at Big Lots for $3 so I got a few of those. Then I got the great cereal canisters from IKEA for $4 each. The boxes on casters on the floor are from IKEA too. They hold all my reuseable grocery bags & cleaning/paper goods. I had Rustin hang up the swiffer & the broom/dust pan to give me more space.
Then after scouring every place I could think of (Ross(s), TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Wal-Mart(s), Big Lots, etc.) I found the white baskets I'd been looking for. I also found the great glass jars to hold pastas. Finally I organized everything & used my Silhouette to cut labels. Masterpiece??? I think so!

Wednesday weigh in
So this weeks isn't so much about favorite products. Its more about my favorite ways to make the Weight Watchers program easier. It's a lifestyle change not a diet. So here are my tips for making it a little easier to stay on track.
Have your own space. I have a basket in my pantry and a drawer in the fridge that are just for my foods. They have points one them and are organized to I can just grab and go. I also pre bag everything thats not already in single servings. Grapes, pretzels, dry cereal, everything. I make enough bags to last for one week.
Prepare ahead of time. I've found that if I figure out what I'm wearing to work the night before it makes dressing so much easier each morning. I thought the same concept might work for getting me to my workouts each evening. I used a basket and put each workout outfit including socks and hair bands for the week inside.
And a little motivation after each workout is a powerade zero. I like the blue the best. It's a little treat for actually going to workout.
Recipe of the Week
Italian Spaghetti Squash
Cut your squash in half lengthwise. Remove all the seeds & Bake for 45 min. at 375. Pull out sides with a fork. This is when it will shred and start to look like spaghetti. Use 1/4C of the1/3 Less Fat Italian Cheese & Herb Philadelphia cooking creme. Top w/ 1T of shredded parmesan cheese. It's AWESOME! I wont say it tastes like pasta but it pretty darn good.
Stats for this Week
lost this week: +2 lb (thank you spring break!!!)
total loss since Molly was born:40
Lbs left til Pre-Molly Weight: 10
