No Chocolate for Breakfast: New toy + Evelyn/daddy cuddles + Mommy gets fit

New Toy

I was very excited to shop for an exersaucer for Evelyn. Caleb and Liana had different tastes in toys but both loved their exersausers. They are recommended for 4+ months so we went and picked one out the day before Evie turned four months. They are looked pretty similar so we went for the Evenflo Double Fun Bumbly because of the bright colours.

Daddy assembled it during hockey (Dexter supervised)

I guess she likes it

Watching Sesame Street (new breakfast ritual)

She hasn't yet discovered spinning or jumping but she likes just standing in it for short periods

This is the other piece

Lights up and plays music when you pull on the bugs

Her motor skills are developing

Evelyn/daddy cuddles

Caught these two chilling on the bed the other day and dashed for the camera. Liana had a few friends sleeping over so she'd requested Evelyn be in matching clothes and have a bow on her head - guess she didn't want to show off her baby sister while she's wearing mismatched pyjamas.

We thought maybe she was starting to like tummy time now that she's getting stronger


But then this happened

Mommy gets fit

I lost a fair amount of weight since Evelyn's birth but it was all within the first month. Since then I've just been gaining and losing the same three pounds over and over. So as a kick in the butt I joined a 60 day fitness challenge led by a fitness consultant friend of mine (Sophie Fitness). I'll likely dedicate a post to before and after pics once it ends just before Christmas. For now I just want to assure everyone that I'm still healthy, I'm eating enough for my milk supply (actually I'm eating more than was previously!), and I feel amazing so far. Also, I need to eat particular foods at particular times which means if I'm away from home I bring my own food - it isn't personal!
