We have been on the fence about getting Maddy a little scooter/riding toy/tricycle lately. Part of the debate was whether or not we should just wait for her birthday. Well, Saturday, we were at Target and decided to just go for it--that way she can spend the summer enjoying it. :) She was
SOOO excited about it. All the way home, all we heard was "bicycle!!!" --We've been working on the fact that it's a
TRIcycle...she's just about got it (she now says, "3 wheels--Barney!" alluding to a Barney episode where they sing the Shapes song that says a
TRIangle has 3 sides--way to make connections, Maddy!).
She loves to help daddy do anything with tools. She thinks that he can fix anything...I love how she admires him so. It is such a sweet love she has for her daddy. :)
We picked this one out because it has a removable push handle which also turns the handlebars. The pedals also work like a mountain bike--she can rest her feet on them without getting all tangled up...they just click. We're still working on figuring out the whole pedaling thing. :)
In the meantime, Tommy was hanging out on the floor. He really wanted to pull the star down. It was so cute how he kept reaching up. He STILL hasn't figured out how to roll over yet...you'd think he's almost there given how he twists and reaches like this.
Sunday afternoon, we did some outside water fun again. We finally got Tommy a hat, too. He's also got a little UV-blocking shirt. Bathing suit can wait for now...swimmer diapers should work :)
Lance also got Maddy this water beach ball thing. You hook up the hose to it and fill it up a bit and it sprays out. It should make for a fun part of her upcoming birthday party. It will definitely be a water-themed event!

I posted this sequence of pictures on
Facebook, too, so you may have already seen them. We were trying to get a family picture using the timer and multi-picture setting on the camera. Just as Lance got it set up, Maddy bolted towards the back of the yard. We got the following shots as Lance tried to retrieve her. Priceless!
