Baby Boot Camp

Today was the first day of Baby Boot Camp for Anna and me. The concept is genius - bring your baby with you to work out and meet other moms. Many moms seem to face the same dilemma - we're off of work so want to take advantage of the time to try to work off some of that baby weight, but what to do with the baby while doing that? Sure, some gyms have daycare, but do we really want to pay all that money for the big name gym membership when we'll be going back to work and won't have nearly as much time to go the gym. And how many of us really want to leave our 8 week old baby with a babysitter we don't know well anyway? The answer? Baby Boot Camp. So Anna and I headed out this morning to the local mall where we met about 15 other moms and babies before the stores opened. We spent about an hour there doing our workout, but there's something odd and somewhat cruel about running up and down stairs outside Starbucks and Mrs. Field's! It was a pretty good workout for me and Anna got in a pretty good nap in her stroller :)

Not to worry, Anna gets in her exercise here at home with Mom and Dad as shown here in this sequence of photos taken with the rapid fire feature of the camera. In fact we were told she needs to sleep more during the day because when she is awake she burns too many calories!!





Anna turns 8 weeks old tomorrow! How time flies...
