End of Summer?

Not if you look at the forecast. This week in Vegas it is supposed to be in the low 100s.

I am so looking forward to cooler weather where I can actually enjoy being outdoors - September has been better than August, that's for sure. We at least get some cool down at night and in the morning. I am ready to start walking outside again - who wants to start up the walking club again? I need to take some baby steps back into working out - basketball is waiting for me!

ABCs

I apologize for Claire's state of undress in this video - we are potty training at our house. Here is Claire singing one of her favorite songs - sometimes when we start singing with her, she gets upset and starts all over by herself. She has quite the bossy streak lately - wonder where she gets that...

Eat or sleep?

I wish I could fall asleep like this - I feel like doing it all the time, I'm so tired lately. Plus maybe I would eat less that way... :)


Speaking of which, Matt and I are starting Weight Watchers so we can both lose the baby fat. I will start going to their meetings soon, but we are already counting points and trying to follow the eating guidelines. Man, were we eating poorly while I was pregnant. I am going through sugar withdrawals I think. So, hopefully some good results to come. Matt has already lost 2 lbs just thinking about eating less - guys are so lucky!

Top 10 Most Requested

When it's Claire's bedtime, we read a few books together, say a prayer, and sing some songs. If you ask her to choose between a book and a song, she usually chooses a song. But these aren't all your typical lullabye-type songs that you would find on a bedtime CD.

Here is a top 10 list of Claire's most requested bedtime songs in no particular order:
1. Ding Dong the Witch is Dead! (Wizard of Oz)
2. ABCs
3. Edelweiss (Sound of Music)
4. Give Said the Little Stream
5. So Long, Farewell (Sound of Music)
6. Follow the Yellow Brick Road (Wizard of Oz)
7. If I Only Had a Heart (Wizard of Oz)
8. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
9. A Spoonful of Sugar (Mary Poppins)
10. Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Wizard of Oz)

Miles - 17 days old

A big thank you to Sarah for taking pics of Miles yesterday - here is one example she sent, with many more cute ones to come!

Cycles

Claire loves motorcycles, thanks to my dad and his Harley-riding visits. So, this may be a little cheesy, but here is Claire on her very own cycle.
