Brooklyn Nel is 7 months old.
How did that happen???
Yes had to stop at 4...although our monthly pictures consist of sooooo many more :)
Brooklyn now is trying to rock forward into crawl or scoot position.
It is only a matter of time before she is moving around and I am FULLY enjoying her sitting still for now!
I feel like she is growing daily and always has a new developmental change. ITS CRAZY how fast they grow.
She makes laugh sounds all day long...constantly smiles at poeple...and melts me every single day.
I cannot wait to see how she grows and develops into her own. What kind of personality she will have and what her character traits will grow into.
WOW life as a mother is so rewarding and EVERYDAY I can't thank God enough for giving us this amazing gift.
Onto month 8 with Brooklyn and to see what is in the works :)
She still isn't into food much, but loves her mum mums (rice husks).
We are pretty much still fully on breastmilk but hopefully once she keeps learning the process of eating she will be more interested in solids.
HAPPY 7 MONTHS BROOKLYN!
As for me I feel like I am FULLY back to myself in my FITNESS level.
I feel like running is an outlet for me now instead of "work".
Teaching my classes are finally FUN and not work to me since my cardio and strength are back (with MUCH hard work...trust me it wasn't easy getting back into shape).
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my job and everyday I am grateful for such a great place to work and people to work with. (YMCA)
I have alot of things in the work for o2befitmom and my personal business ventures with moms fitness. I will update as things progress!
The biggest change since becoming a mother for me has been the PROCESS of getting ready. I can't just walk out the door once I am ready. I have to make sure Brooklyn is fed, diaper changes, clothes on and weather appropriate, she has had enough sleep and is happy!
BUT I wouldn't change being a mother for ANYTHING. It is now more like WHAT would life be like without her...and I can't even remember now :)
Question: If you are a mom or someday want to be...what has been/will be the biggest change (challenge) for you???
What a cutie pie! I think the biggest change/challenge for me will be putting someone else's needs above my own.
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn is such a sweetheart!! Happy 7 months! You must be so proud!
ReplyDeleteIt's inspiring to hear that you're feeling like your body has returned to its former fitness level. Huge props to you for putting in the extra time and effort to get there! One of my biggest fears about a future pregnancy is losing my ability to move at the rate and pace that I'm able to now. It's a selfish thought, and one I'm not proud of, but very real. Reading the joy that Brooklyn has brought to your life confirms that every sacrifice is 100% worth it, and more!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Awww what an angel!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest challenge with motherhood is catching myself - sometimes, my immediate reactions aren't the most helpful or nurturing for my son. When I catch him having pulled the curtains out of the wall or toilet papering the house when I'm exhausted and it's been a long day, it can be hard to come up with the most loving and productive (for both of us) response!
