Itty Bitty Goes For A Ride

Before the crazy windstorm almost blew us all away (more on that later)... we spent many an afternoon, as you know, hanging outside. We had really warm weather before a few weeks ago. Then we had a crazy cold snap.

Abby decided that Itty Bitty needed a ride on her bike. I walked outside to find this...

And then Abby decided to join her.

There's Fordy... back around the bushes tormenting Red the dog...

Is she still back there? (love the tongue on this one...)

She spent the rest of the ride worrying that Itty had fallen off. Don't we all do this? Worry while we should be looking ahead? Yes. Yes, we do.

But there are Itty's feet. Perfectly dangling off the back.

You'd think the boy would be getting a tooth with all that drool....

But no. Not just yet. Those cheerios will have to wait.

The pears and peas and carrots and sweet potatoes and avocados and yogurt and bananas and rice cereal are in full swing, however. (Whew. This introducing food thing is tiring!)

492. electricity. oh, my ... how thankful i am for electricity!

493. our sliding door not shattering in 100 mph winds

494. knowing exactly where the candles and flashlights were (a first!)
