The Minnesotes

I guess I will jump on the bandwagon and post our new years resolutions.

1. The first one we wanted to do was to take Alex's sippy cup away. He has been drinking his meals since the day he was born. We tried to take milk away last summer and that did not work. We decided when we got back from Idaho we would take away the sippy cups but not the milk. It has been a week and it is working fabulously. He is eating like he should have from the start. He eats all day long. One of my friends told me about a year ago that I better watch out because Alex was going to eat us out of house and home. I think he is finally achieving that.

2. The next thing on the list to do was to get Kayla out of our bed. It has been a week and she has been in her own crib every night. She still sleeps through the night but she gets up at about 5 in the morning. I am hoping to get her to sleep a few hours more. Maybe once she starts eating she will sleep better.

3. Now time for the typical resolutions. I haven't been to the gym in about 5 months. Kayla has to be 3 months to go to the child care at our gym. Well she turned 3 months and I went back gun ho and ready to go. I hurt my back the 1st day back. When I started to feel better it was to close to Christmas so I decided to wait until the new year. Alex catches everything at the gym and I didn't want to chance him or Kayla catching anything before we traveled. Alex ended up with the flu anyway but it was less then 24 hours so it wasn't so bad. So I am now going to the gym 5 days a week. . . . .at least that is my resolution.

4. We want to take more vacations this year. Erik is already planning a trip to the Dells. (Wisconsin Dells) Then we probably will head back to Vegas this spring. . . .I still would like to visit my parents in India. . . we will make a few trips to Idaho. . . and of course Missouri for Thanksgiving.

I guess that is all we have for now. We wish everyone a Happy New Year! I hope everyone can achieve there New Years resolutions.
