What I'm Loving Wednesday

Today I am linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday! 

These are so helpful and easy in keeping up with the little ol' blog.

{one} New Condo!

I'm loving that we found the perfect condo for us to rent for another year or two in order for us to keep saving for our "forever" home. We were looking again, but we weren't finding too much in our price range that we loved. Obviously a house is a big decision and something we really wanted to be confident in. Adalyn was overtired {the happy kind, thank goodness!} on Sunday night and she just wanted to talk and play. I decided to check craigslist real quick to see if there was anything good to rent in the area {there's usually not}, I found this condo in a great area, in our price range, just what we were looking for- we were the first ones to respond and we got it!! So thank you God and thank you Adalyn! We move in a few weeks! 

{two} My hard worker

I'm loving his determination and perseverance to provide the best he can for his girls.  Between the long commute to and from Boston, working and getting his MBA-I appreciate him more and more each day that I am home with our little girl. I am so thankful I get to spend each moment with her because of him. 

{three} My dream

I'm loving that I get to live my dream of my being a SAHM

{four} My Baby 

 I love this girl so so much. She makes my heart melt everyday.

{five}New Milestones

I'm loving watching Adalyn reach new milestones. Currently, she is obsessed with her hands in her mouth. It's so hard for me to get a picture of her these days without her hands in her mouth-I don't love that part, but I do love the new milestones!

{six}Mild Winter

I'm loving that this winter has pretty much been non-existant and we have been on multiple walks outside!

{seven} This Picture.

I'm loving this picture that Ellen posted on twitter.

I sent it to everyone and posted it on fb.

It makes me laugh every time. 

And it also confuses me every time.

As well as grosses me out every time.

So many emotions in just one picture. 

Friday Funny: First Bow

 I thought it was a stretch too. 

I guess she can sense the ridiculousness. 

I think we need just a little more hair in the front to wear some hair clips.

Happy Weekend! 

Wordless Wednesday: Scary Momma

This is just a hunch...

but I'm thinking she thinks I look a little scary in the mornings. 

Funny and Fitness

While I continue to play catch up here's a funny video of Mr. B trying to keep Adalyn awake. 

Which is nearly impossible by the way. 

When girlfriend is tired she is going to sleep and there's nothing you can do about it.

For a while she was sleeping most of the day and then decide to be all awake and smiley from like 9:45-1ish. 

This mama is tired at that point. Let me remind you that my bedtime pre-baby was around 9:30/10 so all this partying til 1 in the morning was a problem.

As much as I loved seeing these bright eyes and smiles, I'd prefer to see them in the day time!

So I decided we have to try and keep her up at least from 7-9:30. 

So we strip her down, we bounce her, play with her, talk to her etc etc and this is what we get. 

Operation "Stay awake it's not bedtime yet" didn't quite go as planned. 

Since then we have a new bedtime routine that seems to be working well. 

She even slept through the night for the first time on Saturday night!
And now I see this face at reasonable hours during the day

Now, onto the fitness...

I have joined the bandwagon and joined my fitness pal. 

So if you're on it send me a request: jpsmelser is my username.

I always go over my calories and I haven't worked out yet- but I'm a great encourager :) 

I've also lost 4 pounds so far! 

So if you're on there- friend me, if not check it out and join! 

It's free, they have apps for the iPad and iPhone and probably the other smart phones too

AND

the coolest feature ever: it has a barcode scan so you just scan the food you're going to eat and it plugs it all in for you!
