Spring is in the Air!

We've been enjoying periodic bursts of sunshine and gorgeous temperatures by getting out to our local parks.  He still loves his bike!

Playing soccer and taking a walk with Daddy.

Working up a thirst!

This is the hill that we have to run up and down in my stroller bootcamp class!  That's Owen and Daddy up top.

And some other little tidbits about life currently...


He's a chip off the ol' block, as they say, in regards to cereal being among his favorite foods.  In fact, "ceweal?"  is often how I'm greeted in the morning.  To that end, he loves drinking milk from the bottom of his bowl when he finishes up the cereal, and we have done many cycles (of cereal and milk - slurp, slurp, ahh - more please) in a sitting.

In other morning news, we recently acquired an alarm clock that glows green according to a time you set.  It's been very handy to keep Owen quiet before the mommy-accepted waking time of 7 AM.  He really does wait until it's green (who knows how long he's been awake), before I hear "Mom!!!"  Then I'm met with an enthusiastic "Green on!" when I get to his room. We'll see what happens when a new baby is added to the mix, but for now, it's been wonderful!  And yes, he's still in his crib.


He says "Dad-deeeee" or "Mom-maaaaaaay" in a hilarious chiding tone, almost sarcastic (oh, come on!), when he thinks we're being silly.  It's something that we said to each other and now he does it most.  Speaking of silliness, he loves fitting himself into closets and either camping out for suspense or jumping out and roaring at us regularly.

Kindermusik is coming to an end, so last week was the indoor picnic and parachute playtime afterward.  (Owen's on the right.)  His attention during class comes and goes, but overall he's been a much better participant this spring.  It probably helps that the theme is "Away We Go" with cars, trucks, planes, and boats.  I think KM's where he gets his love of drumming and dancing from!

Lastly, we've been embracing all things pink in anticipation of Baby Girl's impending arrival.  Here, Owen's modeling a pink, hooded towel handed down from a friend.  All of the other pictures of this were blurry, since he was running around like a crazy, pink-caped crusader!

    1. It's a Strider bike, which is a type of balance bike, so there are no pedals. There are some videos and info online if you search for it, but they are supposed to learn to balance first and then supposedly go to a regular bike w/o training wheels! Thought it was worth a try. :)
