14 months

Claire and Audrey are now 14 months old and are busier than ever! They love running around and exploring everything. They are becoming quite adventurous eaters- they will eat everything we eat (and even a few things that we don't care for!). 

Last night we went out to eat with the girls to a casual dining restaurant- it was quite strange, as the hostess was figuring out where to seat us she said that she would put us in a certain server's section because she "really loves her job". We have yet to be wild and obnoxious patrons- in fact there was a group of middle aged ladies seated next to us that appeared to be quite a bit more troublesome than we were. Sure, the girls might throw a few things on the floor, but I am sure to pick things up prior to leaving. 

Audrey and Claire both love getting their teeth brushed! Audrey is quite attached to her banana- at times she cries when it is taken away. 

We are still working on transitioning to the sippy cups 100% of the time- they are particular and only like the sippy cups with straws. Lately it has been a bit of a struggle to make sure they get their minimum of 24 ounces of milk per day- they just don't want to slow down to drink it.

They have been more consistent in sleeping through the night- especially Audrey. Claire still has a tendency to wake up once per night- we'll have to work on getting her to have more milk before bed... lately the little stinker has only been willing to drink a couple of ounces.

I have finally started to lose the baby weight at about the same rate I acquired it during pregnancy. All I have done is be more mindful of what I eat- trust me, I still make room for plenty of treats! I aim for about 1200 net calories per day, which doesn't always happen (I like to splurge a bit on the weekends) but I am pretty consistent with it. The main change is that I am once again working out 6 days per week. I am loving the xhit daily and fitness blender you tube channels! I honestly barely even miss my gym membership. Most days I do about 30 minutes of HIIT/circuit training- although the other day I did a brutal 84 minute workout from fitness blender- I'll have to try do that once a week or so, it claims to torch between 700-1000 calories (zumba always claimed to burn that many calories in a 60 minute workout, but I never believed it... but I could certainly see how this workout would be capable of that- and the end of the workout I was a hot mess, and usually exercise simply makes me glow :)).  Days when I want to take it easy I do barre fitness or ab-specific work.
