Hi All! How are you? I am doing great. I have been enjoying my break from blogging and think I have decided to do a post or two a month. I will probably do one post on family stuff and one on food. So, what has been going on around here?
I have been working my usual day job and also teaching a good chunk at the gym. I am teaching body pump a few times a week and body attack once a week. I am also starting to teach body step again. Getting ready for a pre-pump run:
I’ve also been enjoying a ton of time with family & friends. Josh, Kaylin and I took a road trip to visit Josh’s sister and her boyfriend. Photos from the trip (a few from a festival we went to and one from a minor league baseball game):
I’ve also been spending lots of time with the husband and my two babes:
Kaylin has now transitioned fully to real food. Here is what she has been enjoying:
- Purees (apples, bananas, carrots, peas, squash, corn, etc.)
- Smoothies (I usually do banana mixed with another fruit (peaches, blueberries, etc.), spinach, ice and whole milk)
- Pieces of banana chopped up
- Yogurt (Yo Baby is her favorite with Chobani Greek coming in second)
- Tiny bits of pasta and mozzarella cheese
- Cheerios (halved)
- A little bit of chicken (she's not wild about it- just like her mama)
- Bottles of whole milk or water
It has been a blast to experiment with new foods!! The video below shows her trying pasta & cheese for the first time. I don’t know why I say ditalini so funny (I think I’ve been watching too much Giada 
And a video of Kaylin kicking in the pool:
What have you been up to?

She is getting so big! That video of her eating the cheese is too cute. I was just thinking of you the other day and how I miss your posts. Glad to hear you will still write a couple of times a month.
What have I been up to? Just work and wedding planning!!!! Trying to set a date for next spring :)
What a cutie! That smile is great. Glad you are having a good summer.
Aww! So cute.
She is so adorable, Erica!! Glad to hear everything is going well for all of you :)
My heart is melting, seriously. Kaylin is too cute for words! I love the smacking sound of satisfaction at the end of the food video, and she is already quite the swimmer! :)
I love these updates and look forward to them a couple times a month - I've missed you! Your yellow dress is fabulous. And you know how I feel about that polka dot skirt!
It was great to see you the other day. You looked great! Kaylin is so stinking cute. Can't get enough. :)
Gosh she is just the cutest Erica! I must have missed your last post where you said you'd be taking a break... but I did notice I hadn't seen a post from you in a while. Good for you taking a break and getting extra time with the fam and friends. Looks like you're going to have a great summer with your soon-to-be little swimmer!
Kaylin looks so happy! She is so adorable!
Aww- thank you :). Your wedding is going to be gorgeous!
Thank you! I hope you are too.
Thank you! Those are her "kisses". Cracks me up.
Yellow is my favorite color- I was so excited when I found that dress.
Good luck again :)
You're the sweetest!
hahaha "Blogger formerly known as K" - you crack me up. I hope you're doing well!
Thank you! How are you? Are you still blogging? I can't find the url for your blog for some reason :( Hows your puppers?
haha i have to watch the videos when i get home from work but i can't wait!! hahahaha and i'm seriously in love with the picture of everyone on the bus and you're holding kay up and she's totally got her fist pumpin in the air. she doesn't know what a fist pump is officially yet but she's already got it down pat. love you and miss you mama!!! xoxoxox x1,000
;) I have no idea why we even took that picture on the bus- so random!
Such a happy baby girl! I love having an adventurous little eater, too.
OMG, I so needed this today. Her smile is infectious! She's seriously too much. :)
I just love how smiley she is :-) Glad to have you back, and it sounds like you're really loving life right now!!
So fun watching the videos. Can't wait to try some more of these foods for Sterling. She is so adorable! You look great.
Thank you :) Hope you guys have a great weekend- its supposed to be so nice!
Thank you! I am- things are great! And your little angel is just adorable!
I loved reading about Kaylin's eating! My 6-month old niece is just starting to explore foods, and it's so fun to see her discover new tastes. She eats mostly fruit-veggie purees, but we recently discovered that she loves ice cream too :)
Ice cream? How fun!
so great to see you back and i love love seeing the pics of Kaylin! She is so freaking cute! Yeah for new foods I am so excited to experiment more with connor in the coming months! Did you see my new baby good blog? I wish I would have started it sooner:) its kitchenbelleicious.com/belleiciousbaby
You are doing the right thing by putting that gorgeous little girl first. Blogging will wait til you have time but she won't. In a blink of an eye she's going to be 30. :) Lovely to see you!
Kaylins smile is just contagious!! Love her ! So glad you are having such a wonderful start to the summer :)
I am so happy to see a post from you!!! Gorgeous pics -- I love your pretty yellow dress!
Aaaahhh, Kay is such an adorable, happy baby, and wow, I can't believe all the solids she's eating now! Time sure flies. I'm happy you'll be posting when you can!
Awww, cute picture of Kaylin on the rocker. My newphew has the same one and he is too big for it now too. Now it's just a toy.
Giada influences me too, I say things differently now because of her show, lol!
aw, she's getting so big, and you look great! i'm happy to see that you're having such a nice summer!
she is so cute! Yay for summertime!
Thank you so much :)
So sweet- thank you!! Hope you're doing well
Sounds like things are going so well, Erica! I always love the photos you post of your family.
My comments never seem to show up with I post them on my phone :( Glad you're having such a good time with your girl! She is the cutest little girl ever! Love the kicking in the water :)
Looks like things are going great! Glad to hear from you. Starting a new position at work for the next year...chief resident. Busy, busy, busy! Love seeing Miss Kaylin growing. :-)
