Mommy Ramblings

My life has been pretty hectic lately. When is it not hectic? I have work, school, workouts, and mommy duties. My precious little Cecily is growing up so fast and although I love seeing her grow and thrive, it means more work for me. She is not content to just hang out in her swing anymore like she did when she was a month or two old. Now she wants to be read to and to be played with. She wants interaction and I am more than happy to give it to her, but like I said, it means more work for me.

Cecily will be six months old tomorrow and she is thisclose to crawling. She can get on all fours and rock back and forth, trying to get the coordination to actually move forward. She can also sit up without any assistance now and she rolls around like crazy. I have started her on solids and this week i started her on pea puree. She loves it! She is just so amazing and I love her so much. She is getting so big so fast and she is doing a good job at keeping me on my toes.

Starting her on solids (or purees at least) has made me think about the example I want to set for my daughter. I am working on undoing the unhealthy lifestyle I have been living for many years and I don't want to pass that along to her. I want her to start out healthy and continue that way so she doesn't have to undo anything. It's so much harder to try and get rid of bad habits than to never have bad habits at all. I want my daughter to love fruits and veggies and not know what fast food tastes like. I want her to enjoy activity and exercise and to never have to feel what it feels like to be overweight. She deserves that and I intend on teaching her healthy habits so she can live a long and healthy life.
