two wheels {plus a helmet}

little man is getting pretty speedy on his bike.  he rode it all the way to the park on his own last night he did awesome with it! (minus the little disagreement with daddy about riding it across grand ave) 

he has gotten so tall since the fall when he got it, and we both agreed that we need to raise the seat a good two inches.

i love that he thinks his helmet is cool and he wants to wear it everytime he rides his bike!

and he is full of silly faces ;)

and we don't want to forget this little sweetie......

we did get her a bike for easter, but she is still a bit too short to get it going on her own yet (poor girl is probably destined to share my height.....) but that is okay, she is a huge fan of the wagon ;)

for the most part my kids get along really well together, though this summer has been bringing out some of the worst of their sibling interactions (partially because blaire is in a very territorial MINE stage).....

so when they share a sweet moment like this - my heart just melts.....

i am so thankful for these two dirty little munchkins!!

biker dude

this biker dude is getting closer and closer to being able to ride his trike all by himself.  he can reach the peddles now, but he just still hasn't quite mastered the rotating motion.   this doesn't stop him from trying all. the. time.

and he is really good about wearing his helmet.  somehow we have him convinced that it is the 'cool' thing to do since both mommy and daddy wear helmets when they ride their bikes.....so he actually wants to wear his helmet even when he is just sitting on his trike in the driveway.  

can't believe this fella is 21 months old already.  

i need to start preparing myself for that big second birthday......

it will be here before i know it!
