e can play with him her except claire running books the paperbag princess and the hungry caterpillar being outside legos building stacking blocks bubbles puzzles dancing kicking and throwing balls mangos i m getting better with figuring out her hair yay and it s getting longer from my research i ve been doing on transisitioning to natural hair for myself i ve read a couple of books on dealing with naturally curly hair and testing out those products methods on mia and myself and i need to document the methods here right now i find that the best way to do her hair is without brushes or combs and using my fingers to detangle and comb when it s wet or damp then while still damp throw a ton of her leave in conditioner mixed chicks line in her hair and seal in the moisture with 100 sweet almond oil or coconut oil and let air dry naturally her hair loves the almond oil better than the coconut and olive oil i will test out the new thing of grapeseed oil this weekend anyway according to the curly girl book and examining her head of hair mia has a mix of corkscrew curls botticelli curls corkicelli curls and fractal curls and then some spots that are straight and dry with no curl until it gets blasted with moisture and they end up a mix between fractal and corkscrew curls yeah that s a lot of different types on the same head which i found out is normal to have different textures on different parts of your head who knew anyway her curls sit up and sing with that treatment clairebear is now 6 months old six she will be one in 6 months good grief she is such a happy laid back always smiling baby now a complete 180 from the colicky baby who only laughed and smiled at me and tolerated no one else for so long i m starting to forget how hard those three months were she s trying really hard to crawl now right now she can only go around in circles but she s starting to figure out if she gets up on her knees she can scoot a few inches though i have no idea how she s managing to end up at the other end of her crib from where i originally placed her yup you read that right her crib she s sleeping there longer periods now during the night because 1 i can t get restful sleep with her in the bassinet next to our bed and 2 neither does she and 3 she s getting too long for the bassinet not to mention she s beyond the age range for it i just need to stop being lazy in the middle of the night for her dream feedings and brining her back into our bed until i get ready to go to work her eyes are still that striking clear blue gray with no change to the hue so we re thinking that s what her permanent color will be still not much hair but the longest strands she does have is starting to curl as well not like the tight spirals and loops that mia has but into shirley temple sausage curls or at least that s what it would look like if she had a headful of hair still not 100 sure of the color because some parts are blonde others are brown and some are dirty brown at her 6 month appointment last week she weighed in at 16lbs 5oz 65 and about 28 inches over 95 time to boost up the solid food intake now i ve been slack on this compared to mia and i m thinking she s going to be just as picky with this as she was when i was pregnant with her remember the no processed food thing i was on the whole pregnancy because processed food made me sick she talks so much way more than i remember mia doing or maybe she goes on longer than what mia used to do after the first 2 days of daycare or so fred and i kept hearing from the teachers about how chatty our girls are and claire is a loud chatterbox she has a habit of putting her hands over your mouth as if to say hush i m tired of hearing you talk mommy my turn favorite things 6 months mia lol breastmilk still scoffing at the formula until she gets hungry enough to take it the that s not my series sleeping in the jogging stroller during a run computers phones any gadget with buttons toys with buttons that light up peas grapes talking dr seuss books stretching the curls in my hair and letting them bounce back sitting up she just learned how and standing team jinfred we re doing good still trying to juggle our schedules now that the girls are back in daycare and i have mandatory overtime again it s a lot harder with two even though we re doing the same thing as last year i think i ve been running for about 6 or 7 weeks now i totally love it it s a much better antidepressant than the meds i m on lol i ve signed up for 2 more races it will be 3 more as of tuesday when the disney princess half marathon registration opens up fred and i are running as a team for that one the other races i ve signed up for are a local 5k 3 1 miles at the end of the month also with fred and for the diva half marathon in myrtle beach sc in april that one is also my birthday present i m running that one alone with fred cheering me on somewhere along the course it will be technically my first 13 1 mile race where i plan to run straight through because for the princess half i plan to stop for certain photo ops like with all the disney princes and the seargent from toy story just to name a few gotta come up with a costume for that one anyway i m on c25k week 4 and it s kicking my butt though i m not sure if that s because today i was running it with the jogger if i still feel like this at the end of day 3 i will repeat the week i am completely drawing a blank on what else is going on with me right now and it s late about 10pm and father of the bride is on lol i will update more when

standard happy monday i hope this weekend wasn t too crappy for those still on their if adoption journeys my weekend was awesome because it was a totally active weekend something that i really hope fred and i can keep up with the girls until the weather says otherwise and i ll have to reconfigure what we do on the weekends anyway saturday was my first run with the black girls run atlanta group they just started a couch to 5k program for beginner runners and it was the perfect timing since i had just learned about the group and had joined their network through the official website and the facebook page i love the message the group is about and how positive everyone is and how crazy supportive so on saturday i packed up the girls in the beastmobile the bob double stroller and we headed off to run the girls as usual ended up sleeping through the run once we got home we gave fred his father s day present a giftcard to a local running store so he can get fitted for running shoes so we went to do that he got some proper shoes for his feet and then we decided to walk up kennesaw mountain pretty much 1 1 miles of going up a winding paved trail at the top we could see the whole metro area at least north of atlanta from downtown midtown buckhead to stone mountain on the other side of the metro the chattahoochee river it was awesome it was our first there at the top we re gonna climb stone mountain sometime soon sunday we went to my parent s house for my dad s father s day where my sister ended up getting a sprinkler for mia to run through and that was a big hit if you re friends with me on facebook check out the video it s hilarious she thought nothing of getting sprayed in the face with cold water at some point i ll take her to run through the olympic rings water feature at centennial park i really need to start blogging more there s so much random stuff going on that i want to put down and document a lot of stuff going on with me as i figure myself out and actually carve out time and do things for me so i think i will try blogging on mondays wednesdays and fridays for now to see if i can keep up the schedule stay tuned not sure what s up with the font change once i copied and pasted it from word but who knows filed under mommyhood parenting 1 comment jun 8 random updates posted on friday 06 08 12 by jin standard mia is now 19 months old and claire is 5 months old crazy claire loves to stand being propped up by someone and she and mia play together most of the day now they go back to daycare at the end of the month at some point i will do a blog makeover week 3 of running is coming to a close i ve changed training plans yet again lol this one i like better than the c25k program due to the fact that it just says to run 2 miles at an 18 40 pace 18 minutes 40 seconds per mile none of this running for 90 seconds walking for 60 seconds stuff i found that way was very frustrating to me and it made my legs hurt during the whole ordeal now i just go as long as i can until my body tells me its time to stop and start up my only problem is that i can t run at an 18 40 pace i m doing about a 13 30 pace and it feels super slow to me probably because my body remembers sprinting not long distance with this new plan i found i can pretty much run 5 8 minutes at a time before stopping and it s a 40 week training program lol sometime during week 2 of training still was on the c25k program i got knee tendinitis it blows but not as much as shin splints but under the new plan my knees don t bug me as much while running as they did previously but i m doing hip and quad strengthening exercises on my off days and will get properly fitted for running shoes this afternoon my eating habits suck something awful definitely need to fix that asap i ve decided to stop relaxing my hair chemically straightening it with relaxers and let it go natural this will be quite interesting since i haven t seen my unprocessed hair in all it s glory since i was like 11 plus i haven t had my hair straightened since the day before claire arrived january 2 nd and that s the longest i ve gone without a relaxer i ve got a ton of coworkers who have made the transition recently and they re helping me along the way i m not doing the big chop right now totally not ready or wanting to sport a teeny weeny afro more info on that later apparently the iphone 4 is coming to virgin mobile which is fabulous because since cutting ties with at t i ve missed my iphone but not miss the crazy bill so when i saw that later this month i can have my iphone but keep my 35 a month phone bill i celebrated so i may not be getting rid of my twitter after all mandatory overtime is back we pay off our last credit card next week the halfway mark of our beating down debt filed under mommyhood parenting and tagged hair running leave a comment may 27 21k training week 1 posted on sunday 05 27 12 by jin standard ok so i ve been walking running for about 3 days now i m following the couch to 5k program to begin with but i m going to have to amend that for a little bit why because we just bought a bob jogging stroller sports utility model was on sale at rei to tackle our super hilly neighborhood because we live on a mountain and the graco duo glider we had died on the mountain lol yeah i know it s not made for that anyway so far i had one day of run walk from the c25k program and also died on one hill i like to call the hill of death and was like wtf did i get myself into lol because after the hill of death there s a ridiculous long incline up our street i was ready to call fred to come pick me up but i was probably like a fraction of a mile from the house and would never hear the end of it so i completed my first solo 1 3 miles this morning we went to the back of the hood with bob and avoided suicide hill which is the worst hill in the neighborhood to walk up which i did 9 months pregnant with amelia lol seriously from this hill you can see three or four skylines in the metro area we walked down it and part of the lower sections of the neighborhood and i forgot when you go down you must come up stupid law of physics or whatever law that is murphy the girls loved the bob claire fell asleep in it almost right away mia called out every dog and car and bird that passed our way my arms and legs are hurting from pushing that bugger uphill the handbrake is awesome for our hood it s a great workout we did 1 6 miles i think for starting i need to use the bob on a flat surface to get used to the fixed wheel while walking so we will hit up a few trails and parks that s not so hilly to begin with i know it s only week one but so far i m loving this not when i m contemplating sprawling out in someone s yard while trying to stop ragged beginning runner s breathing and remind myself again why the heck i m going to run the princess half marathon am i freaking crazy do i know that that is 13 1 miles and eventually i want to do the iron girl what the heck but when i make it up our driveway which is also freaking steep and collapse inside the doorway i feel good really good i feel unused muscles starting to wake up and protest and eventually the aches and pains will go away like i said this is just week one lol filed under mommyhood parenting and tagged couch to 5k half marathon 2 comments may 22 half marathons posted on tuesday 05 22 12 by jin standard guess what i ve been doing for the past week preparing to start training to run a half marathon in february yeah you read that right i m going to run in the princess half marathon at disneyworld in february fred is going to run with me and a bunch of my girlfriends if you re friends with me on facebook you ve probably already seen the status talking about it and the long comments underneath it between now and feb i will try to do some of the 5k races that are local atlanta that happen in the fall i start training tomorrow i m walking to begin with because yours truly hasn t been active since before mia was born and i haven t ran in a race since i was about 13 i m 28 i was on the track team in middle school my reasonings for doing this besides the fact that i freakin love disney because i want to be in shape i m terribly out of shape when running after my toddler it s horrible and she knows mommy can t keep up i can only imagine how crazy it will be once claire starts walking i get winded walking up and down my stairs too many times it s bad folks assume i m in shape for how small i am 5 6 and 136lbs but it s the opposite and i probably should stop eating the crap i ve been eating since claire s birth and reason number 2 i need an exercise program i can do with the kids in tow that way i have no excuse as to why i stopped working out i ll post more about this and my plans sometime soon filed under mommyhood parenting 4 comments may 13 amelia 18 mo...
