Sometimes photos have more to say

Why hello there! 

Guess who is visiting today?  My Dad and his gf – yay!  They are here to meet the lil soybean and I think we’re all pretty excited.

Since Monday I’ve had a fabulous friend date with Miss Shayla (amazing time as always!!!)  and also went to a mommy/baby meet up with some other ladies – all our babies are under 3.5 months.  It was too cute.  Sadly no photos, but I’ll remember to take some next time.

And in case you didn’t know the lovely Kjirsten had her baby girl yesterday   Congrats!

As for reining in the eats and getting moving, I’m doing a good job so far!  I’m not strictly counting calories, but am doing mental tallies throughout the day to ensure I’m on track.  So far, so good!  I’ll do a weigh in next Wednesday (4 weeks postpartum).

And since sometimes photos are more interesting than words, here ya go:

Naava has a close up encounter

Neci strikes a stoic pose

Shayla is a natural with the Bjorn and soybean

Life is better with froyo  (choc milkshake, yo frappe, and cookies and cream with oodles of toppings)

Outings with our new addition are the best

I love my mornings with my baby boy

Oh and our newborn photo session photos are up.  If you’re interested in seeing them, let me know in the comments and I will send you a link with the password.  They’re pretty darn adorable

If you’re week was summed up in a photo, what would it be of or look like?

WIAW: Still indulging

Hey hey hey!

My baby is 2 weeks old today.  And yup, there is going to be a lot of baby talk on my blog.  Why?  Because I love him more than life itself and I can’t imagine not blogging about him.  Hope that’s okay with you

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a good ol’ What I Ate Wednesday so I thought I’d just jump right back in!

It may be the new year and all but I have been eating like it’s the holidays.  Partly because I’m still in celebration mode from my lil arrival, but also because I feel like I can’t really get back into the health groove until I heal better.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely eating balanced nutritious meals, but also dipping into the sweets a little lot. 

Here is a hodge podge of eats:

Indian food at home: Paneer cheese, steamed frozen veggies, tikka masala curry sauce and a side of naan and rice.  Beyond delicious!

Scrumptious banana bread that I’ve made before.  Try it with TJ’s cookie butter and you’ll have heaven in your mouth.

Not pictured: Kung Pao Cabbage from Jing Jing, homemade pizza, lots of Starbucks lattes…

Oh and some of these guys:

Sprinkles cupcakes – German Chocolate (Carly’s), Smores (Zach’s), Lemon Coconut (mine).

And just for fun, here is some daily cuteness

Do you make Indian food at home?  Ever cooked Paneer?

Favorite cupcake flavor?
