I can do it too!!

Jordyn has been wanting to feed Aiden so I decided to let her do it one day when I was busy! I figured what the heck? I was sure she would make a mess but it wouldn't matter if some of it made it in his mouth:)

Aiden looking at me...."Are you sure about this Mom?"

So cute!! I'm not sure why J is shirtless except that J just doesn't like to wear anything...especially shoes!

Open wide!!

Too far...Too far!!!

OK!!! I'm done!!! :) She really did a good job. A lot of it was all over his face but a lot of it still made it in his tummy:)

What not to do....

I thought I would just feed Aiden while he was in his exersaucer since he was already in there. Not such a good idea as you can see by his face. He would bounce every time I went in for a bite:)

Too cute not to post:)

Goodness...I'm on a posting roll:) But my kids were being too cute today that I had to post!
Our sweet Lady has been really good with her sisters! I caught Jordyn hand feeding Lady her dog food and Lady was being so sweet and taking it very gently from her. One at a time!!
Don't you just love that little baby belly sticking out;)

Lady has also been getting into a lot of trouble lately because she keeps eating Jordyn's leftovers!! It doesn't help that J.J. pretty much hands it to her either though. Travis finally got really mad at her tonight after finding her eating fruit loops and our sensitive Makenna got really upset. She was so worried about Lady and I found Makenna downstairs consoling her! She is very attached to Lady;)
I also felt very proud of my big girl tonight!! I had put a load of laundry in and a little while later I hear Makenna in the room. I went to see what she was up to and this is what I found!!!

She got a chair and started moving the clothes into the dryer. I love it!!! She couldn't quite reach the bottom but I can't wait until I can ask her to do this chore for me!! Now if I can only get her to fold too;) And excuse the undies!! She has been in the habit of changing clothes a couple of times a day. I caught her before she could put another outfit on but she never put her other clothes back on. O-well!! :) She has also been wanting to wear the same outfit everyday this week. I finally convinced her to wear something else so I could wash it.....hmmm....maybe that is why she was being so helpful with the laundry:)

Diet

My blogger friend Ashley has been on a diet and losing big time so she inspired me to start one of my own. It has been a week since I started my diet and I have to say that I'm shocked at how many calories are in everything. I felt like I was going to be fighting a losing battle in the beginning. I was sooo hungry but it got alot better once I started finding different foods that are good and low in calories. I have been eating a lot of fruits and veggies and snack on beef jerky (only 20 cal a stick) and I got those 100 calorie packs of cookies or the weight watcher cookies and cakes if I need a sweet treat. I also am not going to waste my calories on liquid so it's water or diet soda for me. I have been keeping it at 1200 calories a day but also giving myself a kind of cheat day on Saturday because we always have pancakes with the kids and I don't want to watch them eat;) I am going to try to find some low calorie pancake stuff for me that doesn't taste like cardboard. Any suggestions? My mom and I have also been bike riding for 5 1/2 miles every morning while pulling 50+ pounds of kids behind me half of the time and I have been doing some hand weights at home. All in all, I am very proud of myself since I have never been on a diet in my life. I have always just exercised it away but this fat is being very stingy and doesn't want to leave me. I guess that's what happens when you get older;( But I am happy to say that I lost 4 pounds this week!! I lost 1/2 inch in my tummy and 1 inch on my thighs. I can't really see a difference but I can feel the difference. It was tough but so worth it and definitely a good start!! I just hope I keep it up;)
