Olivia - 6 Months






Olivia is nearly 17 lbs. She continues to have an excellent appetite and sleep schedule. We started 'Water Babies' yesterday. She was very excited and loved looking at all of the other babies. I could tell she was having fun. I'm so glad we signed up. Easter weekend was spent with family and the Easter Bunny paid Olivia a visit:) Olivia is very ticklish, it's so fun watching her giggle.

I continue to walk regularly and have really cleaned up my diet. I was sort of half-hearted about it until last week. I've set out some goals and ways to reach them.
As of next week, I'm going to be adding a cardio session into my weekly routine. I think I'll look into HIIT training as it is supposed to be challenging and highly effective for fat loss. I'll keep you posted.
