Wednesday Weigh In
Favorites
Subway is my new go to for breakfast! I like the steak, egg white & cheese the best.
I was skeptical but holy cow these are dang awesome! They taste like a real chip. They come in a couple flavors & you can eat 15 for only 1 pt. WHOO HOO!
This turkey pepperoni is fewer points than others and tastes just as good. Yummy with a cheese stick for snack time.
Smartones has a new appetizer. They're stinkin' great! Remind me a little of Cheesecake Factory's tex mex eggrolls, only BBQ-y.
If I can't make it to Jazzercise for some reason this is the workout I've been doing in my living room. It's great because you don't need anything to do it.
Tips & Tricks for this week
To make sure I'm getting enough water I snatched this idea from pinterest. It's actually working really well!
I ran out of baggies this week and was looking for a better way to keep track of all my snacks. This is what I came up with. The entire container is only 6 points. (String cheese, pepperoni, almonds, & Cracker Chips.)
I started following this great blog and the things she's had to say the last few days have really made a difference to me. Check her out if you'd like.
Last but not least, next week is Teacher Appreciation. Every year parents volunteer to bring us breakfast and lunch each day of the week. SO KIND, RIGHT!!??!! This year I'm dreading it just a little for the simple fact that I want to stay on my WW track. So I passed word to one of the room moms that I was on WW and hopefully I'll be able to stick to my guns next week.
Recipe
5 point Bean & Cheese Nachos
20 Guiltless Gourmet Baked Chips

Hallie's Wedding
This weekend we drove down to Helotes to celebrate with our cousin Hallie at her wedding. I didn't get any pictures of us with the bride & groom but it was wonderful to see family.

Month 9
Dear Molly,
This has been a month of milestones for you!
You have 2 teeth now. You're eating stage 2 foods and really like any of the fruit & granola foods & risotto. You LOVE saltine crackers & are not a fan of Ritz. You eat your little puffs and are into foods that mommy or daddy are eating. You still take 3 bottles from Miss P and nurse 3-4 times in the afternoon/evening. We've found a sippy cup that is VERY similar to mommy's water bottle that you like so much. So now you are drinking water from your cup during the day too.
You're crawling around ALOT! You like to crawl over and play in the doggy bowls when we're in the kitchen getting dinner ready. The big window in the kitchen is a favorite too. Mostly you'll sit there and look at Dixie & Grace and bang on the window but lately you've started playing with the blinds. You crawl over to pull on any cord you can find if I look away even for a second. You pull up on the coffee table, entertainment center, bathtub, dog kennels, really anything you can get your hands on. You're a rough and tumble baby girl; you've had more bumps, bruises, & scratches than I can count this month.
You're talking. You've said "momma" and "dada" now. You make the best faces. Recently you've started to scrunch up your nose and blow air out at the same time with a BIG smile on your face. You love to blow raspberries just for the fun of it. You've been going to sleep about 8 each night and sleep til about 3:30. We sleep together from then to about 6:15 each morning. It'd be great to have you sleeping through the night but I cherish the time we have together each night.
You're wear 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. You're still not wearing shoes but maybe soon. You've finally got enough hair that I can get a clip-y bow into it but it will only stay for a little while. You most definitely do not like your new baseball hat but we'll keep trying.
You mostly play with your picnic basket & pianos. You've got a few stuffed animals that you're into too, your counting cow & Lenny Lamb. You like to knock down the blocks and chew on your rubber ducky. Your favorite toys are the things you're not supposed to have, like the remote, mommy's phone, & the computer. This month you played in your pool for the first time and really seemed to like the water a lot.
It seems like each month is going by faster than the last. This past one you've grown a lot & started really showing your personality. Like the way you really check people out before you warm up to them. The last time I weighed you at home you weighed 18 pounds but we'll check again when we go in for your appointment on Monday.
I love you Peepers!
Love,
Mommy

Water Baby
I bought this great little pool for Molly and since I couldn't wait to see her in it we set it up Sunday afternoon.
Back in February I bought Molly a couple of swim suits on sale but of course I couldn't remember where I put them so we ran out and bought 2 new ones before we could try out the pool.
By the time we got back and bathed (literally) in sunscreen Rustin had the pool all set up. She was a little slow moving at first but by the end she was crawling all around in the water and didn't mind if her face got wet.
When she needed a break she crawled to the edge and made her way up into this adorable little adirondack chair that Rustin found.
