Richard Simmmons, P90X, and the Insanity Workout are all fine and dandy if you want some mild physical activity, but Kylie has developed a routine that truly tests cardiovascular endurance and core strength. She has named it Aghhhh! Aghhhh!, which loosely translates in English to....actually there is no concrete or loose translation, so we will just call it "Kylie's, Look How Good I Can Sit Up" program. I have never actually completed the program myself, but watching the way she holds her balance while sitting up is pretty impressive and exhausting. Since she has proven herself quite capable of sitting up, it comes as no surprise that she loves doing it these days. I guess we have a real workout junkie on our hands here. It is fun to watch her play this last week or so because she has become so much more interested in playing while sitting up or lying on her tummy. She used to hate "tummy time" if it lasted longer than 4 Mississippis (yes. I was counting). Now she gets so restless until we either sit her up to play or lay her down on her tummy. sniffle sniffle: Kids just grow up so fast. ;-)
Tonight Nat was teaching while Market Night (Downtown Farmer's Market) was going on, so Auntie Melissa and I walked Mylie Kay down in her stroller. (Here comes the part about her workout routine again) The entire 20-25 minute walk she sat straight up in her stroller (without the back support) and just played with her toys and held her tray. Maybe it was just Melissa and I, but we got a great kick out of seeing this little 5 month old sitting up like she was some kind of big girl or something. I'm sure someday she will learn that it is fun to sit back and relax while strolling, but that day was not today. She was in her full, upright, and locked position and we loved it.
more to come soon,
