We have slacked off in helping Emma ride her bike without training wheels. She has been trying to do it by herself without any luck. We noticed that she was a little too big for her bike so dad started using Clark's old one but the seat was just a little to high and she was struggling. She could do it but would wobble and we couldn't let go without her tipping. So a few weeks ago I took her out with her bike to see if it would help her get her balance and walla she took off. Yes, as you can tell her bike is really small, but it worked to help her get her balance. I started out holding her and she took off, with only a little of my help, it was great, she was cruising around the street, she was so excited, so of course I ran in and got the camera. I have to document it, it is a very big step in a child's life, to finally do something on your own. Way to go girl!!!!!
Updates on Andrew
Andrew had his 15 month check-up on Thursday this last week (11/4/10) and he is progressing very well. Yes, he is almost 16 mths, we had switched Dr.'s right before shots were due so we are behind a few weeks waiting for on opening in appointments.
His weight is 23 lbs 2 oz (40%)
His height 31 1/2 inches (55%)
His head circumference 18 1/2 inches (45%)
I found the "Tonka" trucks and lo and behold he loves them, we were teaching him how to put things in the back and go vroom. He is branching out besides kicking the balls all over he also loves playing with his trucks. Also dad was telling me, he had to pick up Andrew from the church during Young Woman's on Wednesday and all the way home he went "weeee weeee", and Andrew rode home after church with his dad and Ryan and he was doing it again. It made them giggle and it is funny to hear what they do as they grow up. He is such a character. I don't know if he got it from the "Geico" commercial or what, but it is so funny. Now he walks around the house going weeee and then kicks the ball.
