Once again I didn't do a great job of recording my thankful list each day, so I'm having a hard time remembering all the good things from this week. Here's what I've come up with:
Lila started swim lessons this past week. She's taking them at the gym Darren and I go to, so it's pretty convenient. We were going to sign up for the Monday soccer class with our church friends, but I opted for swim lessons instead. Hopefully we can do soccer another time.
I've been going to the gym regularly and both Lila and Walt do really well in the child care center. I even got brave enough to leave Walt for an entire hour and attend one of the classes. I took a kickboxing class that uses a weighted bar. When I got up to the class, just 3 minutes before it began, the only bars left were 12 and 15 pounds. I obviously went for the lighter bar, and even with that 12 pound bar, wow-ee was that a workout! I only lowered my bar to my shoulders a couple times for 30 seconds (when it was supposed to be raised above my head), and I just barely managed to keep up for the entire hour. When the class ended and I put my bar back on the rack, I noticed a whole bunch of 6 pound bars in the rack. I had been wondering during the class how so many of these women were so tough and never lowering their bars! Haha, little did I know their bars weighed half as much as mine!! I felt like a champ after I saw all those 6 pound bars. I was really proud of myself because this was also the longest workout I've done since having Walt. Let me tell you though, the next two days my back was sooooo sore! I could hardly pick up Walt, but I'm hoping to try to get to the class regularly and get stronger.
Walt giggled this week! I was so excited since I've been looking forward to this moment since he was born. He's not giggling on a regular basis yet, so I haven't gotten a video....hopefully I will soon!
I went visiting teaching this week. Once again I feel so grateful for the stability and abundance in my life.
Lila said to me, "Some day I'll be a mommy and we'll be friends." I love when she says such sweet things.
2 hour naps with my babies. Yes, that was plural. Naps. So wonderful!
Splash pad and more swimming.
Darren was awesome and cleaned the whole kitchen for me...this is the way to my heart!
Late night chats with my best friend, Darren.
Lila eating cilantro leaves. The kid is too funny about the things she does and doesn't like! We were having burritos for dinner, which she wasn't interested in, but when I offered her a taste of cilantro she liked it very much and kept asking for more. I didn't let her see my surprise, but offered encouragement to try more things, which she didn't, but I will just keep offering because you never know!

Can you tell this is an iPhone photo taken by Lila?
I laid Walt down for a nap on the Boppy and when I went to check on him he was sleeping like this, hehe
