"bike obsession," we decided to buy Olivia a pink
Radio Flyer trike. As you can see, it is adorable.
This is not her Momma's Radio Flyer either. The
so-called "traditional" model came with a horn,
music, and turn signals. My "traditional" Radio
Flyer was a red wagon. Enough said.
I didn't have to wear a helmet to ride in my Radio
Flyer either. My, how times have changed. I have
to admit I felt that Olivia looked ridiculous wearing a
helmet to ride a trike. In fact, I think the helmet purchase
was made because we feared being ridiculed by our neighbors,
moreso that it was out of fear that Ms. O would actually
be seriously injured falling off a trike that is a foot off
the ground.
At any rate, Olivia selected her own helmet. She was thrilled
to find one with a pattern that had an Eric Carle theme.
She loves her "Ca-er-pilllll-er" helmet.
Ready, set, ride!
Once she adjusted her helmet, she was ready
for take-off.
for take-off.
Here she is, getting ready to pedal away. She seemed
so excited to finally have her very own "bike." The
big excitement lasted all of five minutes. Once our little
princess saw a family with two children heading to the
local playground, she quickly forgot about her bike and
scurried off in an attempt to hit the slide. Too bad for
her that Mommy and Daddy didn't feel like socializing
on the playground. She had to settle for a trip to the
ice cream parlor instead.
What a princess we have!
All the while Olivia was "princessing" around
All the while Olivia was "princessing" around
on her bike, Pearce was chillin' in his car seat.
Check him out as he bides his time biting
his lip.
As you can see, his face has changed considerably
over the last few months. He has really begun to
fill out (no thanks to four daily feedings of solids!).
Master P's eyes have gone from grey to chocolate brown.
Fortunately, his luscious lips and super-chill
attitude have remained intact!
And finally, the latest and greatest happening in
And finally, the latest and greatest happening in
lil' P's world....TEETH. Pearce has TWO bottom
teeth! He is drooling all over the place and constantly
chewing on anything and everything. The funny thing
is that he is so laid-back that you would never know
he was teething. This kid takes everything in stride.
We are praying his smooth personality stays with him
(at least until he is out of the house).
Until next time....
Until next time....
