You know you're old when you quote forrest gump. I want my size 2 pre-pregnancy body back and I tell you, running does the trick. My cousin Nicole talked me into running the Louisiana Marathon 5K and I've already registered for the Amedisys Mardi Gras Mambo 10K, so we'll see how that goes. I have got to train b/c I haven't run that far in years...yes-I said years and that is more than one. It's amazing how quickly I went from "oops, I'm pregnant" to "I have a 10 month old." YIKES. I'm hoping that I can talk Nicole into her first 1/2 marathon and do one in Philedelphia in September. I heard it's a great course, super flat...can't wait. I've never been to Philly. Maybe, Carey will come too and we can make it a birthday trip!
Hopefully I can get Claire into running when she is old enough. As of now she doesn't even want to walk so we'll see how well she feeds off my running energy. That is if I can really pick up more energy and find some extra time so I can get my run on. It seems that doing Jazzercise and running in the morning before work, works best for my/Carey/Claire's schedule, but if I hit the snooze button at 4:45a.m. - then it's not happening ay all. If I don't get to work "out", "in" the morning, the end result is no work out at all because I want to devote my evening to Claire, as she is doing so many news things, I just don't want miss anything.
I have been telling her No when she tries to open the cabinet doors and she doesn't like that at all. She even told me No the other day in return. I left the room and laughed. She's too much (wonder where she gets that from).
Girls (Cousins) night tonight...little Tripoli at Aunt Annette's. Excited to spend more time with Nicole. YAY to my besty being in town.
Claire has taken a few steps and that is exciting and she is even starting to say Mama...which is nice. We screamed back and forth to one another the other day, she'd yell "Da-Da" and I'd yell Mama right back at her until she YELLED in full strength "Ma-Ma." It was hilarious.
