I’m learning to ride my bike!

Participant
I ran in my first race at the tender age of 1 (well, almost 2) on the 4th of July. The Macklind Mile that Daddy ran had a Kids Quarter Mile Dash. This would be the farthest I’ve ever run before (the one-year-old’s equivalent of a half marathon), but I wasn’t too worried because I …
Across the room
Well, I was in rare form tonight. First we did peek-a-boo. Then after all the walking practice yesterday I decided to go it alone back and forth all the way across the room several times. Sure, I hit the ground a few times, but I didn’t let it phase me. I’m a walking machine.
Tongue tied
Daddy & I had some fun after my bath tonight.
What goes up must come down
I’ve been having such a good time since I recently figured out how to go up the stairs. At every opportunity I shoot up the steps then play upstairs. My favorite game is closing and then opening the bedroom doors. It only took a couple of days before I also figured out how to go …
Up, up and away
I climbed up to the second step on the stairs last night, as I often do. But much to Mommy’s chagrin, this time I didn’t stop once I got there. I just kept right on going to the third, then the fourth, and so on. I made it all the way to the top and …
Uh oh
Wow, so many things have happened in the past few days. Dad went out of town for work, so for a little bit it was just Mom and me here. Then Paw Paw and Gramma Nan came to visit. I have been having a blast. They took care of me while Mom was at work. …
Waving and stacking
I’m just having the most fun at daycare. I wake up early in the morning (sometimes too early because I’m so excited). Then Daddy and I either bike or run there. Then I play and learn all the day long. Then some days Daddy takes me home on the bike, and other days Mommy runs …
I can totally crawl now
The past couple weeks I was almost crawling. Starting on Saturday, I took the plunge and crawled a few paces to nab Daddy’s water bottle after he unwittingly set it on the floor. I continued doing short crawls over the next couple days, even showing off my new abilities to Grandma Barb and Grandpa Bruce. …
Almost crawling
I’ve been doing push-ups (lifting up onto all fours) for a couple weeks, but I never really went anywhere. Then a few days ago I realized I could go from sitting, to all fours, then I could reach out. This really helps a lot when I’m trying to grab something I can’t quite reach while …
