Wednesday, 23 July

Got up, tired, another night of tossing and turning. But I feel okay though, not dragging or anything. Did my morning "chores" and then got Olivia up. When I went into her room, she was standing in her crib with a big smile, not crying at all - So I lowered the side to the crib down. She danced for a while then she hugged me around the neck. Not sure if it was to get out of the crib but what ever it was - it made me so happy. She has been so affectionate lately and I love that. When I dropped her off this morning at Day Care, she hugged me and then put her hand on my face. It made my day. Did my cardio at the gym, I've been really pushing myself this week - this is workout number 7 and it's only Wednesday morning. After the gym, got to work and the day flew by - really really busy. Enjoying the new responsibilities. Worked on some issues and the first time I looked at my clock it was time for lunch. Went to the gym, did more cardio then back to the office. Finished up my day at work and then picked up Olivia. She was crying when I got her from Day Care. She cheered up pretty quickly though when I got her in the car and home. As soon as I got home, I changed and started working on cutting the grass. I brought Olivia outside with me, she played on her scooter. I cut our grass and the neighbors lawn (trying to be a nice neighb0r). I finished and then got cleaned up, I took Kurt and Olivia out to dinner. We had a really nice dinner and then came home. I then got Olivia in her pajamas and we practiced our walking. She is doing so good. She gets 10-12 steps in at a time before she plops down on her butt. She is so fast, I try to walk backwards in front of her to catch her in case she falls but she is so fast that I can't keep up. I then started getting my stuff ready for the next day. By then Olivia is ready for bed, so put her to bed and rubbed her head for a while. She falls asleep pretty fast if I rub her temples for a little while. After that, I got my clothes ready for work, packed the gym bag and then folded clothes. Always so much laundry with a baby. By then it was close to 10:00 pm and I was ready for bed.
