2011

2011 has been a pretty boring, uneventful year in this household! I went back to school in January. It has been an interesting experience so far, thinking of my self as a "non-traditional student"! School is an entirely different experience this time around! Amazing how much more work it is when you actually TRY to do well! Sounds bad, I know, but I really want to just get it done, so I'm not settling for "just enough to get by". I want to do it right this time, and that feels pretty good! On top of school, I also picked up an extra night at work. So I really do not get a whole lot of family time in these days. That has been such a hard adjustment, mostly because Sophia is at such a fun age right now, and everyday there is something new in store for her. It makes me sad to know that I am missing out on so much time with her and my family right now, but I know it's not permanent and I know that it is for the better of all of us....I just have to tell myself that when it is 8 or 9 at night and for the 3rd night in a row, I'm still not home! I am glad that I am in a position right now that I have the opportunity to do better for myself and my family though. So, that's that!
Sophia walks all over the place now and is eating us out of house and home! Pretty sure she eats non-stop all day long! And I swear she is feeling so heavy and thick these days, I was pretty sure she weighs over 20 pounds now...not even! I took her in to see Dr. Joe today and she is only 17.5 pounds! My little peanut....I hope that metabolism sticks with her forever!

Good news is, she loves her fruits and veggies, so at least it's healthy eating!

We have also been reading lots and lots of books everyday!
