Riding Bikes & Haircuts {My Life}

Life our my house is full of toddler mischeif and baby crys, so it is never dull. It seems, now more than ever, that time is moving so quickly. Baby is already going to be 5, yes 5 months old..AGH! Anna is quickly approaching 2 1/2.

Gracie has learned to roll over, and over, and over, and over, along with attempting to scoot. She's eating baby food and cereal now, then spitting 1/2 of it back out. She's our little spitter, I can't remember a handful of times when Anna spit up, and a handful of times when Gracie hasn't!

...she gets quite ticked off to get stuck...

Anna has learned to ride her big girl bike, she's rather quick on the tricycle too, but the bike...woohoo. Last night was her first adventure off the back patio. We took her around the block and she made it the whole way all by herself, without crashing once.

...starting off...

...about 1/2 a street into her ride...

...we did have to stop 1/2 way through for a water & photo break...

After her bike ride, we dropped daddy off at home and us girls walked down to visit FumFum & Bill'd, which is short for Grandma & Bill. Anna & Bill had a water fight, we played on the swings then walked home. It was muggy and getting cloudy. I loved the contrasting colors of these clouds, it was so beautiful.

About 15 minutes after we got to our house, these little clouds got a whole lot darker, and caused a bit of a light show. We've had more lightening this year than I can remember having in a while.

The other adventure of our day was Anna's first solo haircut. AHHH! On Wednesday night I trimmed her bangs and gave daddy's hair a buzz. Well little miss independant thought she'd take care of her hair all by herself!

...Little Miss, getting her lip-stick on before heading to town for a few things yesterday morning...

...& the Little Miss, after 'Hair a-la Anna'...

So thankful it was just her bangs, no telling what she would have accomplished in a few more minutes.... Ahhh, life with an adventurous, curious, independant toddler...
