In my last post, I bragged about Kate sitting up the very day after her first physical therapy appointment. That was a Thursday. The following Wednesday, I babysat for the first time. I'm keeping a two-month old two days a week. The first time I sat down to give him a bottle, Kate scooted over to the couch where I was sitting, fussed for ten seconds, then stood right up. Apparently I just needed to have another baby around to make her jealous. She's a pro at standing now. She's cruising like crazy, which is also something she'd never done. She's dangerously close to taking that first step, but she's still insecure about not having something to hold on to. I was planning on canceling her next PT appointment if she started walking before hand. Yesterday I got a letter in the mail informing me that our insurance would not be paying for her therapy, so the next appointment will definitely be canceled. I've yet to see a bill, but I'm sure it won't be pretty!
Kate also learned a new word (or two) this week: cheese puff. It sounds more like "eesuff," but you can definitely tell what she's aiming for. It's too cute!
The great diet of 2010 has commenced today. Usually at least once a year we get on a kick and start something that doesn't last. In early 2008, we each lost a decent amount of weight, but it's managed to find it's way back with some good old stress-eating. My new goal is to lose 20 pounds by Christmas. It's very feasible. I can usually drop at least 6 in the first week, which would give me around 14 to lose in 6 1/2 weeks. I'm very hopeful! I did a massive grocery shopping trip yesterday to get us plenty of good eating options. Most of the bad stuff is out of the house. The soda is gone and will not be returning. In all reality, I'd love to lose 40 or 50 pounds, but 20 will be a great start! I'll be posting a weekly update on how the diet's going. Hopefully sharing it with "the world" will help keep me motivated!!
