The last time I posted was in November. At the time, Jayda was 2 1/2 months old. She was first starting to smile and teeth.
Jayda is now almost 6 months old. She smiles all the time, she plays with her feet, reaches for toys, has two little teeth and eats baby food. We were given the okay to give her baby food and cereal at her 4 month appointment in December. She gets rice in her bedtime bottle, and she has rice with apples and it's mixed with apple juice... but she will not eat regular ceral by itself. She loves green beans, sweet potatoes and peaches. She doesn't seem fond of bananas or squash.
Casey got a new job at Nissan in Smyrna. His last day at Lowe's is tomorrow, he starts at Nissan on Saturday. We will move over the summer, or sooner if we can afford it. I'm excited, but scared at the same time. The only shift offered was 3rd shift... which means Jayda and I will be home alone at night in a new place. Thankfully Casey does training for two weeks during the day, and then goes to nights, and we'll still be here. Jayda isn't much trouble at night, but I hate not having Casey at home at night. I don't feel safe. :(
When we move to Smyrna, I'll be closer to Gallatin, which means I'll be able to go to Vol State again. I am planning on starting off with just online classes over the summer, and then in the fall I do a mixture of both but limit the campus classes as much as possible. We are guess-timating that I'll be done with my physical therapist assistant degree in 2-3 years.
I am planning on starting the Special K diet, and doing "mommy excercises" (excercises that moms can do that involve the baby.. like normal day-to-day things). I want to lose about 40 lbs by my birthday, because Casey is taking me to Nashville for my birthday. I'll be 21 this year.
I think that's it update wise. I'm sure I'll have more soon. I'm hoping to keep this up instead of writing one entry every couple months.
