1. Aria is 2 months and a week old!
2. She sleeps through the night about 2/3 of the time. And I don't mean that 5 hour B.S. definition of sleeping through the night. I mean like 7-9 hours through the night. WOOHOO. I feel awesome.
3. She is a little colic-y from about 5 or 7 till bed time, but it isn't too bad. She just has some painful gas. I completely eliminated dairy out of my diet, and it has helped her a little and me a lot! I feel a lot less sluggish.
4. HAHA so she is in the 25% for height, 50% for weight, and 90% for head circumference. Note: I had a huge head as a child. They took me to a head doctor to make sure that I didn't have hydrocephalus, and Travis was the same way. So head size is definitely genetic.
5. She can bare all of her weight on her legs! But she can't balance to stand on her own.
6. She could do a mini push-up a month ago.
7. She smiles a lot and has little conversations. She will gew and gah at the baby in the mirror and then squeal when it doesn't respond. She also is learning other sounds like boo. She is trying really hard with boo.
8. She has already had her first cold. She didn't like it very much.
9. She looks like we took Travis's baby picture and put on my baby picture's nose and mouth. Oh yes, Travis was a chubby bunny. It took him a while to learn how to sit because he was so fat he just rolled over. Who would have thought?

So I might change the shift of this thing. I have several goals that I want to accomplish by my birthday in June. They are all fitness related, but I don't really have anything else that I care about besides Aria and Travis. I mean dancing and singing, yes, and dancing is on the list:
1. Be back down to 115 (136 right now... It is going to take a while)
2. Run 10 miles (Not quite a half marathon, but I have already run 8 miles. So I might bump that to a half marathon)
3. Run a 6:45 minute mile (I haven't even tested that yet. I know that running on an 8 minute mile pace is exhausting for me. It is still taking a while for my lower abs to regain their strength, and believe it or not, you really need decent lower abs to run, or walk, at a fast pace.)
4. Do 50 guy push-ups. (Yeah! Not going to be too hard... bouncing Aria all the time has given me more arm strength)
5. Get all of my splits back. I didn't lose my left and right, but I did lose my middle splits.
6. Be awesome at dance. (Yes, that is the goal.)
7. Get a 6-pack. A visible one!
So I've got a lot to do. I do a lot of exercising. The past couple days it has been:
Sunday: run 8 miles
Monday: run 3 miles and do various strength exercises
Tuesday: random strength stuff
Wednesday: Run 3 miles, 30 minutes pilates, 1 hour dance
Yeah we will see what I do today, but if you haven't guess, the new motif of this blog will be to write about accomplishing my goals. I will still update some about Aria. I am sure I will probably talk about her in every post because obviously my number one goal is to be a good mom for Aria. But I think that making yourself happy is also a large part of being a good mom. And because all of my goals are related to fitness, they are attainable with Aria, and they set a good example for her in maintaining a healthy lifestyle!
That is all for this post because Aria is waking up from her nap and being waaaay too cute.
