Ava's 4 month Checkup

Can you believe our girl is 4 months already? I can't! We just got in from seeing Dr. Stone for Ava's check up. Here are her stats:

Height: 24 inches (45%)
Weight: 13 lbs 4 oz (50%)!!!!
Head: 16 5/8 in (85%) - I'm not surprised the poor girl has such a big head! Lucas's head has always been in the 85-90 percentile. I blame it on Matt :)

She is strong, reaching her developmental milestones as she should and "a perfect little girl" to quote the doctor. I know I'm not supposed to brag, but it's not bragging when I quote someone else is it? Actually, I do brag on my kids all the time. They are awesome! And such a blessing! My life is so full and wonderful!

I am THRILLED that Ava is finally gaining weight and growing as she should be. What a relief after the struggle we went through for 3 months. I will confess, I feel a little sad when I think about not breastfeeding anymore, but then the cloud lifts when I realize how much she's gained and is thriving on formula. And I have my boobs back...... uh, I mean more free time. :)

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
