Ok enough groceries... how about some poop?

So I haven't updated on Jocelyn's eating or potty training lately. Well I am proud to say we had a nice big messy poop on the potty yesterday morning. Honestly, I couldn't be prouder as a mom yet I know that it was just dumb luck. I put her on there each morning and just hope that something happens. Usually we get a pee. Yesterday we got a poop. Nice huh? The stuff I look forward to as a mommy.

Eating has been more of a challenge. She loves to nurse and I think she would live off of breastmilk until she was 18 years old if she had a chance. Don't worry I would definitely wean before high school... :-) Anyway, she has tried salmon and tuna now and liked both. She still loves green beans and she definitely eats better at home then when we travel. Last week I don't think she ate a single solid morsel the whole time we were gone. EVERYTHING went on the floor. I tried to explain that we didn't bring the dogs but I guess she thought they must be hungry and just hiding somewhere. Now that we are back home she is eating blueberries, cheerios, green beans, and some meat again. We tried kiwi and that wasn't a big hit. Oh she had some corn bread tonight too. So we are trying to introduce more foods but I try to have something that she 'likes' around too. Of course, what she likes this week might not be what she likes next week. I am finding this method of feeding very frustrating. I am hoping once she gets some teeth she will really take off with eating. I am also hoping that she might consider dropping a few night time nursing sessions. I really don't want to push for night weaning but some nights are rough (and we are co-sleeping).

I have also decided that I need more me time. I haven't been able to get out to knitting in a LONG time and I think my attitude is suffering because of this. I need some non-baby time. I feel awful saying that but it is true. I am hoping to get back into daddy-daughter night (aka mommy gets out of the house night) at least once every other week. It is tough because I want to save money and the hubby still has a lot of commitments but I think it is something I need. Today I did the first part of the 30 day shred and the hubby took Jocelyn for a walk at the same time. When I was done, I was so confused and happy to be all alone in the house (well except for the dogs). It was nice to be able to work out without listening to a baby babble in the next room and wonder if she was ok or tired or hungry, etc.
