Crickets

Well, Cristian has discovered a new jerky place in town. This places sells everything. From jerky ( obviously) to foot soles you can put in your shoes to make you look taller. Let's focus on the jerky though. They have his absolute favorite, it's made with ghost peppers ( of course) and he loves it. I think we'll probably be spending a little bit of money their until the novelty wears off. I can't deny the fact they make the best jerky I've ever, personally, tasted so... whatever. The point is, he bought crickets and larvae (maggots)...... Hhhhhh...
Violet is hilarious in her new crib.  I love waking up, looking over, and seeing her standing up in that thing looking so incredibly proud of herself. It's less awesome when she's up on two feet screaming her head off, but it's the little things ( like her cute smile peeking up over the railing) that make me happy.
She's the light of my life, and I really am lucky I don't have to work right now so I can spend all this time with her. She's so funny. She does this thing lately where she scrunches up her little nose and huffs and puffs. I don't know what she's actually doing but it's pretty cute. And her crawl! I can't get enough of her crawl.
Yesterday we had a little craft day. We made Talisa her birthday present. I still can't believe my baby sis is 18 years old. What???.... Anyway I wanted to stamp her cute little feet on a canvas in the shape of a heart, and use her finger to write the "I" and "love". She wasn't quite sure about all the purple paint, but after stamping her foot prints and writing on the canvas we let her play around in the paint a little bit. Of course she totally starts getting into the second I want to get her in the bath and washed up. It was pretty fun though. And Cristian helped me out which was exciting. I think his favorite part was painting on her tummy while she sat crying in the bathtub.

Man, the adventures of the Navas household right?

I've been working on some goals. One of them was to make dinner every night for a week. It's Friday and I can say so far I'm on track. On the menu tonight is ground turkey tacos.
Cristian's so great. I get so down sometimes about not being a good enough wife, or mom, or person in general. I'm struggling with losing the baby weight and I'm really uncomfortable most of the time. Sometimes it just gets to me. But I know for me that I need to be patient.

Other girls might just watch the fat melt off within a couple of weeks, but for me it's kind of trend that if I ever really really want something I must work incredibly hard for it. Nothing comes easy for this girl. I'm not bitter or upset about it, but I have to work and if I want to see the results I need to learn to be more consistent with what I'm doing.

So that's another of my goals. Consistency with eating right and exercising.
Valentines Day is coming up and I'm very excited for what I have planned. This year it's my turn  to plan out the date and I think it's going to be a winner. I've made plans for us to go to the FastKart Track and race go karts. I think it'll be pretty fun, and I really hope Cristian enjoys it, and maybe we can get some dinner or dessert while down there also.

Today's been a good day. I spent most of the day out at my parents with Cristian at work. Violet took a nap and started snoring so loud. Oh my gosh, she's so cute. I miss Cristian. But before I go run and grab him from work I'm going to get a work out in. Cheers
