Good Morning, Eva! Pre-bundled up in her D'Eva ensemble for the day.
Do you ever wake up and decide that today will be a healthy day? I did. I started my day with a hearty bowl of oatmeal that included some delicious walnuts and dried cranberries. I was still hungry, so I followed my bowl of oatmeal with a wonderful oatmeal cookie. Oops! My body will probably think it was all the same healthy meal, right? After eating my cookie I felt convicted and knew that I should probably go on a walk today. I generally enjoy going on walks except that I hate being cold and I hate sweating. When the temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees with partial cloud coverage and a slight breeze I am content. Below 60 - freezing. Above 70 - sweating. However, I have managed to loose all of my baby weight with only walking, drinking lots of water, and occasionally doing pilates so I have to be strong and go on walks even when the temperature is less than favorable.
Cute little snuggle bear!
I initially thought that the 50 degree weather was way too cold to take Eva out in, but then I remembered that most of the country has many 50 degree days and babies there still go outside. So I bundled up my little bundle of joy. I put her in an extra pair of pants, mittens, and a cute hoodie with bear ears on it. (By the way, I am constantly thinking about whether Eva is too hot or too cold. I ask Ryan's opinion all the time. Should we add a blanket? Is she too hot? Her feet feel cold. I probably drive him crazy).
What will we see today???
For the first time I decided that she could ride in the regular part of her stroller instead of the infant carrier. She is so alert and interested in her surroundings now. All during the walk I would peak over and she would have big eyes as she looked at everything and made happy baby sounds. We had a fun outing. I'm sure I burned off all the calories from that oatmeal cookie :)
Wow, you are back to supermodel weight! And your baby is a Genius Supermodel! (My friend called her first baby girl that - I thought it was a perfect phrase.) I can't believe how alert and intelligent she looks at 2 months. Would it help to think that Eva's body needs to learn to adjust its temperature to different environments, like her immune system adjusts to a sometimes unclean world? By exposing her to unperfect situations you are helping her develop.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sarah. By exposing the kids to multiple situations and temperatures, we are preparing them to be content whatever the circumstances. I have enjoyed every phase of my girls' life so far, but it was especially fun when they started to react to things around them.
