So Cody has had a fever off and on the last couple of days and even this morning he feels too warm but at least his temperature isn't high anymore. After I took his temperature this morning he pointed at the medicine, asking for some because it tastes like cherries and he really likes it. I am always super careful to keep stuff like that out of reach because he would just drink it all if he could. This has been a pretty boring week with the kids since we haven't gone anywhere because of us all having colds and Cody having a fever on and off. I was actually supposed to meet up with a bunch of moms who all have babies the same age as Miles today but I am not going since we still all have colds.
I was perfect with my calories and exercise this past week and, which wasn't always easy and was so excited to find out I lost 3 pounds because of it. So I weigh 166.8 now. My body doesn't look too bad at all. As much as I sometimes dread and put off doing my nightly strength training exercises, they make my body feel so much less flabby. It's a hard feeling to describe but it feels good to feel a bit of soreness in my legs and stomach muscles regularly. Makes me feel like I am in decent shape.
After filing our taxes a week and a half ago, we were shocked that we got our refund in Mike's bank account yesterday! Considering I don't have a lot of extra money at the moment it was a nice bonus. I decided to go buy some extra groceries with some of my portion of the money. I bought the ingredients for quite a few dinners and made a special dinner last night of Hawaiian meatballs, which is something my mom used to make when I was growing up. It was delicious but of course Mike didn't like it because he saw the recipe had minced onion in it and he hates onions. I don't like them too much either but I enjoy their flavor so it didn't bother me at all. I also bought a few chocolate cupcakes as a treat. Yum! I ate a bit more calories than I should have yesterday but I really didn't go over by too much so as long as I exercise every day and eat within my calories the rest of the week I should still keep losing weight.
I almost forgot to mention something really awesome. Miles started saying Mama last week! I couldn't believe it since he just turned 7 months. He always wants me to hold him so I think he learned it as a survival mechanism or something because I will put him down and in no time he is putting his arms up and yelling MAMA!! Lol. He just yells it over and over. Mike didn't want to admit that he was saying it at first but when he did it a number of times in a single day there was no denying it. Usually babies learn to say Dada first so I am overjoyed :) :) He loves his Mama.
Cody is saying Mama all the time now too. It's like a competition or something lol. He even will say "hi mama" when I ask him to sometimes which is cool because he's never put two words together yet. I went upstairs quickly yesterday and Cody was at the bottom of the stairs saying Mama over and over which was so cute because he rarely talks. He's talking more these days though and I am wondering if that is because of Miles. I've even heard him say hi to kids when I take him to a play center. He will also try to say new words now and then when I ask him to. This is a big improvement. I am hoping to build on it. I even had him mimicking animal noises the other day which he has never wanted to do. Oh and if he hears one of us hurt ourselves and say "ow!" he will say ow too. Baby steps lol.
