New Toy

Last weekend Shanon went and bought a new toy...

I know, I was also surprised that it wasn't a toy for him! He actually first bought a bike seat for Macy, but upon trying to attach it to his bike, he learned that it wouldn't work. You see, since he is an avid bicyclist,complete with spandex shorts and everything.... okay I'm kidding, but for some reason he couldn't have just your regular old Wal-Mart mountain bike, he had to have a 'professional' grade bicycle that you can't attach things like seats for kids to ride in.... why think of the wind resistance that would create!

So anyway he came home with this bike trailer and at first I was skeptical, but after giving it a go myself (see below), I was impressed with how smooth it is. I could hardly tell I was pulling anything... unless you're going uphill.

I don't think Macy really understood what it was at first, but she really liked her helmet and after going for a ride, she really like riding in it.

So guess what else these fancy bicycles don't have.... kickstands! I know, I couldn't believe it either! Shanon asked me to help him by holding the bike so he could adjust something and that's when I discovered this. This makes it interesting to try and get Macy out of the trailer without dumping the 'fancy' bike over. I don't have a bicycle yet, but you can bet mine will be a good ol' Wal-Mart cheapie complete with kickstand!

4 months

Yes, yes, I know this is late, but I figure better late than never. Holden is 4 months old, almost 14 lbs. and over 25 inches now. Although he has and can roll over, most times he still gets stuck on his arm. He recently discovered his voice and is making all kinds of loud, funny noises now. He is also noticing he has two feet down there and trying to get at them. We've put him in the Bumbo seat several times now and he seems to enjoy it.















I know I've said it before, but he is just so darn sweet. There is nothing better than when he is naked on the changing table and and I tickle his little belly... he is very ticklish and just giggles and giggles. He even thinks his sister is pretty funny most times.

We tried rice cereal this weekend and as you can see he decided we should wait a little longer before trying that crazy stuff again.

















He has been sleeping better the past few nights, so mommy is hopeful that it will continue. He's really getting into that stage I just love where he is always doing and discovering new things and he's just so sweet that it's hard to not hug/squeeze/kiss part or all of him all the time!! Here's to four more months of loving my little man!
