Body (and post!) by Baby

So its been three weeks since my mom and dad updated the blog. I try to be patient with them, but sometimes a baby's gotta take things into her own chubby, slobbery little hands.

A quick update before I get into the post and pictures: I was in the newspaper--something about teachers who blog but my picture was on the front page. Mom went to Tennessee to work for a week teaching teachers how to use technology. MeeMee came and stayed with me and Daddy (more on that later). Daddy's been busy building stuff and playing with me. I have my first ear infection and have been enjoying 3 cc's of yummy orange stuff thrice daily. Mom has a cold, too, but I won't share my medicine with her. I've been sleeping through the night for the last two months--down at 7:30, up at 6--and napping a couple of times a day (usually). And I'm up to fourteen and a half pounds of solid baby muscle.

That's right, muscle. A long time ago (back when my parent's blogged more often because, well, they didn't have me), my daddy wrote a post all about his daily workout routine in India. Now it's my turn to share my fitness secrets with you.

1. Toe touches. A good bit of stretching every chance you get does wonders. Just look at those rolls of steel . . .


2. Jumping. I like to get a good hour in the morning in on my jumper . . .

and I've got the thighs to prove it.


3. Rolling. Back to front, front to back, I do it all now. Great for the core.


4. A good daily run. I've been missing this since mom got sick, but we're doing a half-marathon in September. The best part is, since mommy has to push, I always win!

5. A cool down swim. Nothing like a good splash and dolphin wrestling to finish off a workout.


6. Push ups. Gotta keep those upper arms in shape. Bottle presses work well, too, but mom can't get a picture because she has to spot me.


That's it. Just think what five months of a liquid diet and these exercises could do for you. I'm not saying you'll double your body weight like I did, but you can dream.
Love,
Evie June
