Hell on wheels (and heels)

Last fall, Claudia hadn't shown much of an interest in taking the training wheels off. Then over the winter it was too cold and wet for many opportunities to give it a try. A couple weekends ago she asked if we could take the training wheels off, so we did. Apparently she's been riding a 2-wheeler at school, because she hopped right on and started cruising down the driveway.

And Juliet had to get in on the action. She's walking really well now, though in this video she's still a little bit wobbly. She's a climber too, so there's really no place she can't get to. You can't turn your back!

Hang on, little tomato!

The cool and wet California winter is finally behind us. We've been spending a lot of time in the backyard. Here are the 2 little monkeys swinging. The longer they were swinging the more Juliet started to slide off Claudia's lap. This was the last picture I could take before having to rescue Juliet!

Juliet is a full-fledged walker, almost a runner. Claudia is looking forward to her big 5 next month! Boy time flies!
