GO GIANTS!

I started this post Monday after the Super Bowl, but we added some more chaos to our family and I got distracted lol. We got another dog....a puppy to be more specific. We named her Mia (after Mia Hamm of course). She is a King Charles Cavalier. I've been looking to get another dog for Winston. He needs a friend and some one else to play. Nick and I no longer have the time to expel is endless energy playing catch 9,000 times. I was contemplating rescuing. I have always wanted a big dog, but we don't have the yard for it. So when miss Mia unexpectedly came into our lives, I just went with it! It's been working out really well. She is adorable, lovable, and her and winston get along great. They play and play, and she puts him right in his place, steals all his toys, and licks Natalie constantly. We love her, what a great match. Potty training and getting her to listen as well as winston will be our biggest challenges. 

THE GIANTS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!! So, so excited :):):):) We had a few friends over for a "wing -off" it was impressive on many levels....none of which I experienced cause I have "animal bone issues". It looked fun. I won some cash in the football pool. Natalie played with Michael and Alice (our friends 6 and 1 year old). It was cute. The dogs were everywhere, fun times were had, good beer was consumed, madonna was conceded yet entertaining...oh and did the I mention the GIANTS won?!?!?! 

Natalie is getting so grown up. the last few weeks we learned how to high-fve, climb the stairs, can walk with a push toy, stands unsupported for a good 7 seconds, loves mickey mouse club and octonauts on disney channel, mumbles in an old man voice, says dada on command, has a wicked diaper rash (sad face), made out with Mia, throws her hands up like an Italian, missed her daddy...lots, started stage 3 foods and is loving it, eats toast, bagels, edamame, eggs, and Brussels sprouts....I'm forgetting something. 

I told my mom all I want for my birthday is a night out lol. She is going to keep bean for us on feb 25. I'm very excited :) I cherish my weekend with my hubby now that he travels so much. Getting to go out with friends will just make a saturday night that much more fun! Happy Birthday to me! Nick has been working so hard on the road lately. I really stoked to have him home with us next week. We are going to have a nice relaxing wknd! It's been a rainy week, so hopefully we should have some cooler weather coming up. 

I booked the pavilion for Natalie's first birthday!!! I can't believe I've started planning already, she will be 10 months next week. holy cow. I love her so much, it's unreal how fast she is growing up. She is most defiantly the light of my life :)

Nick and I joined the YMCA! I'm so excited, I can't wait to get back in shape. I went twice this week, I'm very sore lol. Plan on going again tomorrow. I've gotten way too skinny, and I'm sick of hearing about it from everyone and their moms. I need to put some weight back on. No cardio, just strength training and lots of weights! They have a great babysitting area, and they do mommy errand mornings during the week were I can drop bean off for an hour to play and go grocery shopping if needed. Such a nice perk! 

Bean looks more and more like Nick everyday. It's so amazing to see such a resemblance, from her facial expressions to her feet and toes, it's all him!! So cute. We are starting to see some hair come in, finally lol, a little bit. And her eyes are so pretty, light brown with maybe a bit of hazel.

We are going to start a little mommy and me class next week on thursdays. I'm excited for it, I think she is old enough now to really get something out of a structured class and interacting with other kiddos (besides her few little buddies). I'm not excited for the mommy competition garbage...that's half the reason I'm so anti-mommy social lol. Maybe ill be pleasantly surprised, and everyone will just be nice, and un-judging. The joys of south florida.

Ok I'm done posting. Nick and I are watching a crazy awesome Irish movie right now. I just tried a new (to me) beer from sierra nevada called ritual something lol. It's fantastic!! Really hoppy, love it :)

WOOOHOOOO GIANTS!!
