Mama update: I took the plunge and started going to Soul Cycle classes! I was a spinner at LA fitness for over ten years and I was just tired of going to classes where I felt like everything was dirty and the music was the same for every class. It served me well in my 20s, but I want to spend money at a place I like to go that will inspire me to work my ass off. As for my hair, I have a bird's nest of tiny baby hairs. It is annoying to see, but at least my hair is growing back! Next month, I plan on focusing on my skin care. I've always been good about moisturizing my face, but I am aiming to keep a somewhat consistent regimen.

Juniper update:

1. She stands with support: At the tail end of the month, she used the ottoman at my mom's house and showed us that she could stand. It was such a sweet moment. I was afraid I would miss that milestone because of work, but she did it in front of me!

2. She loves dancing: She particularly likes dancing to this melody from a Jordache commercial I stumbled upon on the Neontalk instagram account that I follow. She goes crazy over this tune and loves it.

3. She loves books: She likes any books with peek-a-boo element, a baby face, texture, or some sort of tangible.

4. She is a chatterbox: I love hearing her gibberish and scream "mamamama" in delight.

5. She like giving besos and hugs: Whenever I say the word "beso," she bows down and puts her head on my lips. My mom taught her how to do this in order to avoid people kissing her cheeks.
