Health Nut

Funny how when Mom goes on a health kick ( gotta lose the baby weight ) then the whole rest of the fam has to pretty much do the same... since Mom is the one who does all the shopping, right? Well it's actually working out cuz Taylor's tastes seem to be maturing, and not only is she eating turkey sandwiches now ( used to be strictly PB & J, or Tuna ) but she will eat chicken, rice, broccoli, cucumber, carrots, snap peas ( a huge fave for us both! we eat them like chips ), almonds ( raw, no salt ), and all fruit ( always has been a lover, and we have a fruit or veggie with every meal ). She actually turned her nose up at a PB & J made with white bread last week, my girl loves her whole wheat! Don't get me wrong, she's a normal kid who also loves Otter Pops, Oreos, M&M's, Lollipops, Fruit by the Foot, and all things sugary. But today she chose yogurt covered raisins for her "special treat" instead of any of those we have in our pantry!

She weighed herself the other day and she has gained 2.5 pounds in the last 5 months, she is now 32.5 lbs! I can feel it too, not as easy to pack around anymore...especially when you get used to carrying the itty bit Emme who is a whopping 9!
