Home Sweet Home!

Well the holidays are over and here we are. Back home in Toronto and still no snow!
We decided to drive the whole way back without breaking it up. Charlotte was pretty good, had a few rough spots, but we all made it!

The new year usually means new year resolutions. I have a few this year:
1: Get back to eating healthy, for real! We are pretty good most of the time, but I know we can eat better! Charlotte eats everything healthy and I know she doesn't understand yet, but I want to make sure we are good role models for her as she gets older
2: Get our house organized, for real! We've lived here for a year and half. I was pregnant when we moved, and then it was Christmas, then it was time to do the baby's room, then Charlotte was born. We have come a long way, but again, we have a long way to go! We have started a list of things that need to be done and we will get them done!

I can't believe it's already January, that means I have to go back to work in just a few short months, literally since February is a short month - I know, it's only a day, but at this point, every day counts! I have a new manager at work, and I've been emailing her this morning to confirm my start date! I go through waves of excitement and sadness! But I know I'm not the first woman to do this and I won't be the last!

Melvin and I got quite a few new gadgets over the holidays. As I mentioned before the sales were pretty good! I plan on trying them all out and blogging about it in my next post!

My next challenge is to start weaning Charlotte. She is mostly sleeping through the night, but she wakes up anywhere between 5-6am, eats for maybe 2-3 minutes and goes back to sleep for 1.5 hours. That's good when she doesn't wake up until 6, but up for the day at 630 is tough!! Since I know it's a complete comfort feed, we will get rid of that first and then start dropping one feed a week and replace it with a bottle. She likes the bottle so it shouldn't be too hard.We will keep the morning feed for last. Updates to follow!!
