Ow baby

I’m a bit sore today, but at least in a good way. My arms are nice and tight, but they’re not hurting, which is a very good thing. See, while I was slightly ticked I only lost one pound in the past two weeks (walking every day even), I made up for it by increasing my upper body weigts by five pounds.

It is a wonderful thing to realize what used to be difficult to do two sets of, has become easy. Of course, the first time after increasing my weights I always get a little sore, but I keep reminding myself I’m growing muscle. Big (somewhat, don’t want to look all nasty), strong muscles to help me lift stuff. Yee haw. I busted my ass on the eliptical on Saturday so my thighs and calves are feeling nice and tight, a feeling I thrive on.

Ashleigh is thriving, very much so, and last time we weighed her at the gym she finall reached the 21 pounds mark. She has discovered the tantrum and utilizes it often, and will not stop moving or getting into everything. Man oh man is she keeping me busy! With all she’s doing lately, she has made me a very proud mamma, especially last week. I’ve been doing the ASL sign for “more” for the past month, but she finally started using it on Thursday. Very, very cool. Now, she does “all done” and “more”, two very important signs for us, as it saves me from trying to figure out if she wants more food or just out of her high chair. Now just need to flip through the book and pick a couple more words to use.

    How old is she? My Bana (Savanna) is 19 months. She is just now hitting 20lbs. Wee tiny ones. lol

    I started teaching her to sign - then life grew busy along the way. She knows ‘eat’. Guess that’s enough. ;-)

    I’ve been teaching my kids ASL, too! I never realized how necessary it is! Awesome for both of you!
