Maddie and I went running the past two mornings. We ran around the 0.8 mile loop at Granny White Park. The first day she didn't really like it so we only made it two laps, which I didn't mind cutting the run short because I had no idea what a workout it would be. I think I had her strapped in too tight so she was uncomfortable. The next day I loosened the straps and threw some toys in with her and I didn't hear a peep the whole time. We ran three laps and it seriously took everything out of me. My arms and legs were definitely burning. I have to push down on the stroller to turn it so that was a workout for my arms and since I can't use the momentum of my arms pumping my legs got quite a workout as well. I barely had the strength and energy to make the left hand turn back to the car after the run. Anyways, it's great to know I have the option to exercise with her. Both days she woke up before 7 so we got out early when it was still cool. It just dawned on me yesterday that it's already the middle of July, which means August is around the corner. I'm dreading August based on how miserable it was last year so don't think the jogging stroller will get much use until the fall.
This was after the run. She looks quite relaxed.

"You know mom, it's a lot easier without this yellow thing."
"Whoa dad, don't let go!"
OOOLALA, we dressed so pretty this week in little french outfits from Grandma.
Beautiful blue eyes! Note the drool on her chin. I really think I felt a tooth coming through tonight.

What a darling little Miss Blue Eyes! No matter what she's wearing, she's cute. Of course, I might be a bit biased.
Thank you so much Becky for all your postings on this blogspot. We check it constantly, and love the updates.
