All in an afternoon....

Avi got a strider pre-bike from his Grandma and Grandpa for Hanukkah. 
We finally opened it and took it for a short spin. Avi likes to say "bike"!
Helmet, check!  And off we go!

I got this thing!

But he still loves this wagon.  He loves to push it and... be pushed in it! 
We went to a neighbor's sloping driveway so he could "drive" down it. 
Wheeeeeeee

"More"

I got sidetracked by his curls....

...and the way the sun shines off his eyelashes.

Then it's to the park that is within spitting distance from our house.  We are so fortunate!
On our way, we see these two deer.

Then we meet Ringo, the neighborhood llama out for his walk.

At last at the swings... Avi swings high... high up to the moon.

and Mama comes home early and finds us at the park!

Watching the two of them play chase... I love it!



4:15, our sun sinks below the mountains. So we head in...


....and snuggle up with some favorite books.

  3. Love that balance bike! We just realized this morning that our big boy just grew into the very last height setting...One of those silly milestones that makes us parents just a little sadder than it should!
