HAPPY ON MY WHEELS - THANK YOU COLTER!
One year ago it was so easy to wrap Tyler up and stick him in the back pack or jogger or sled and head outside for a little adventure in the fresh air. His enthusiasm for adventure and fresh air has not diminished, however he no longer likes to be strapped into various transportation devices. He prefers to use his own two feet, which is great, but does pose some new challenges for Mom.Last week he announced he would like to go visit Daddy at his office. No problem. After a good afternoon nap, we bundled up, loaded Boyd into the sling, and headed out the door. "I want to ride my bike, Mommy!" Hmmm.....all the way to daddy's office? "Okay, let's get it out and see how it goes." We looked a bit funny headed down the street, going this way and that, baby on one hip and bent over holding onto Tyler's handlebars to help him steer. We made it though, all 11 blocks, 2 four-way stops, and a stop light. We had fun telling Daddy about our accomplishment and then rode all the way back home again! It proved to be much more of a workout than I expected, and yes, much more fun than I anticipated too!
SITTING UP!
Boyd is now sitting on his own. He much prefers this position to laying down now. He has accomplished this one month sooner than Tyler did, so it will be interesting to see if crawling and walking will come sooner as well.
That's it! Have a great week!

You are much more patient than I was, Melinda. Good for you! (And good for your kids!) ;)
That's a big jump from when I was there in May. Tyler's little legs are gaining a lot of muscle and strength now. It's is a challenge to try to keep up with the energy, enthusiasm and curiosity of little boys. Boyd will probably do things sooner since he has a big brother to try to keep up with. Remember to take care of yourself so you have the energy to take care of the kids. You are a great mom!

Hi Nin and Keith, Wow, the boys are growing fast! I probably won't know them, and visa versa by christmas. We're looking forward to the holidays. Thanks for the update, Dad Q
Way to go Tyler and Boyd! We miss you. Hope to see you soon and ride bikes together next time! Love from your montana cousins!
