Six Months Old

Our sweet Eliza girl.

Look! No Training Wheels!

Last weekend Ben asked to take the training wheels off his bike. As soon as Jess gave him a push, he was off. He practiced a little while that first day, and then a little more yesterday. Such a classic childhood rite of passage. (Sorry - the video is sideways, but you get the idea.)

March Madness

March is just half-way through, but it feels like we've done a month's worth of activities already. To highlight a few ...

Ben had winter break a few weeks ago, so I took the kiddos to the aquarium. We hadn't been in so long, and Eliza had never been before. It was such a fun outing!

Noah took this pic - not bad by 3-year-old standards.

The boys just finished a round of swim lessons, so we all headed to the pool a couple weekends ago for them to practice their new skills. It was Eliza's first time swimming.

She loved the water!

We commemorated E turning 7 months old last weekend by introducing her to finger foods - some baby puffs. After a few attempts, she did finally get one into her mouth ...
however,
she was not real keen on it,
and it came right back out. We've been practicing all week and finally, just today, she did actually keep a few Cheerios in and "chewed" them up.

And last weekend Ben had his first soccer game of the season.
After a slow start, he really got in to it! He chased the ball up and down the field.
Go Giants!

And, finally, some random Ben, Noah, and Eliza goofiness ...
