food is fun until you're one

So this month one of my little girls will be 9 months old, this doesn't seem real to me, it feels like I have slipped into a weird time vortex and popped out the other end with a baby that can crawl and climb up on things. I'm pretty sure the sleep deprivation hasn't helped this feeling, the days turn into a blur, the nights are often long and hard. In coming out and realising that I now have an almost 9 month old I've also realised that I have breastfed exclusively for the whole time.

I am very proud of myself, my healthy baby girl loves breast milk and we've gone by the rule that "food is fun until you're 1" So she occasionally gets a bit of mushy avocado or weetbix but mostly she eats what we eat. Baby led weaning is fun, I love watching her smile as she eats a chunk of tofu or a veggie hotdog. It makes me laugh because she gets so into it and does these big MMMM noises. 

Some of my friends are already planning their childs first birthday party! I feel a bit bad because I don't seem to be as excited about it as I should be. I think I might just do a cake smash photoshoot where we take the pics, depending on the weather maybe a small picnic with a few friends. 

i thought i should also give a mention to this amazing website http://www.disposableincomekid.com/ this guy actually gives away money. All you have to do is write a story and he picks a winner each month, seems like a scam? how could someone just give away money? well it's not a scam, I actually won some money for my husband and yep, it came in the mail. So give it a shot, what have you got to loose?

luh you

gotta breathe

I guess you could look at xmas being a positive thing, I mean it is supposed to be about family and gifts and food and such. Harley is even getting into the spirit a little by collecting xmas specials to watch with Lex leading up to the big day and I am thinking I might like to go for a drive and check out the lights around town. I think I might bring some stuff to eat at my Aunties place for xmas day lunch, I love roast veggies but maybe something extra might be nice for us vegetarian folk to munch on. I used to make these really great soysage rolls so I am thinking I might try and make little pies in the muffin tray and see how they turn out, If they turn out ok I will probs post the recipe in case you feel like making some of your own vegetarian muffin pies.

I have started to get fit, well I've been on this process since having Fable and so far lost 15kg but am looking to loose another 5 or so. This week I lost 800g which I was really pumped about because I'm finally under 85 kilos. I haven't been under 85 for about 6 years so it put a smile on my face. Also I need to start measuring myself so I don't get all obsessive about what the scales are telling me. It's easy to do I and don't think it's all that healthy to just focus on numbers.

I also got tickets to one of my all time fave bands thanks to my hubby and my dad who conspired. I'm glad they did because I was feeling uber down about a lot of stuff that day so a Sublime ticket and friend visits made me feel like myself again.

I am planning on using this space for more interesting things but at the moment this is all I can muster, and my little bubbah is ready for a snooze so it's time for me to depart and do the walk and rock.

luh you
