For example, Selah turned 4-months old last month. Right around the time she hit that milestone, she began rolling over (not always, but she definitely can) and stopped sleeping solidly through the night. I freaked about a 4-month sleep regression and Adrian told me to calm the heck down. Long story short, we dropped a nap and added a feeding and she's back to generally sleeping through the night, with wake-ups to be reswaddled and have her pacifier put back in. I've had every intention since my surgery of getting her on a slightly modified schedule from where she's at, but with each night that she doesn't go back to 11 hours solidly, I get wary of messing with anything. We do not do well without sleep.Anyways, her 4-month appointment brought good news of her health! She's doing great, gaining weight well, has super head control and looks really good. She was 14 lbs, 11 ounces and 25.75 inches long, aka, still long and skinny, but fully within the healthy range.

Also, I turned 29 recently (ah, yes, I blogged that morning :) ). Following in the footsteps of my friends Erin and Lindsay, I thought about doing a "30 by 30" kind of post, with 30 goals I have before I hit the big 3-0 next December. However, as Adrian and I drove around and I bounced my goals off of him, I couldn't figure out 30 to write about.
There's my desire to get my nose pierced. I wanted to do it just for quitting my job and no longer being in the corporate world, but A said I should have a better reason. So my motivation became to lose 15 pounds and then get my nose pierced. So there's 2 goals. I figure I can work on losing 15 pounds (which, as of last weekend, I was down 4, probably from puking a lot Saturday) by trying to run a 5k. So, 3 goals. I want to go on a banging anniversary trip with Adrian in October, but that is complicated by the fact that I would also like to be pregnant again by my next birthday. Sooo, another baby or an all-inclusive vacation? Goals #4 and #5, which may or may not be mutually exclusive.
In no particular order, here are the goals I have thus far:
1. Get my nose pierced.
2. Lose 15 pounds.
3. Run a 5k.
4. Have a fantastic 5-year anniversary trip.
5. Get pregnant.
6. Go skiing at least 2x this season.
7. Get our family healthier.
8. Go to a concert at Red Rocks.
9. Get paid to take some pictures.
10. Decorate our bedroom and make it cozy.
11. Be a confident and frequent baby-wearer.
12. Family beach trip.
13. Buy a new computer.
14. Read my Bible more diligently.
15. Go to a Rockies game as a family.
16. Cook 5 nights a week most weeks.
17. Get a kitten or puppy :)
18. Develop a weekly housecleaning schedule.
19. Do some crafts I've been delaying (i.e., wall art for our bedroom).
20. Find a couple of local beers I actually like.
21. Go paddle boarding this summer.
22. Eat at some of the local, legit Hispanic restaurants in our neighborhood.
23. Work up to walking to the zoo regularly to use my zoo pass.
24. Get a library card and use it.
25. Get my hair cut more than once this year.
26. Try a new restaurant during Restaurant Week.
27. Have a veggie garden again this summer, and actually harvest and eat the produce.
28. Go for a hike.
29. Eat at Civic Center Eats this summer.
30. Go to Jazz in the Park once.
So, there ya have it. Selah's 4-month update and my 30 by 30 goals. Since almost a month has passed, I feel like I should post my progress, but sadly, I'm not exactly notably progressing. 4 pounds down and once to the zoo so far...So, here's to a year of getting stuff done in 2014!
