Milestones

Abbey and Carter on their two wheel bikes. They kept saying, "two wheelers are the best!"

Off she goes...

As a parent, it is so fun to watch your children reach different "Milestones" in their life...
you know--
Smiling
Rolling over
Sitting up
First tooth
Eating solid foods
Crawling
Walking
First Birthday
Talking
Getting potty trained
Learning to swim
Going to preschool
Abbey reached another milestone this week and it almost makes me want to cry. She learned how to ride her bike without training wheels. She is just getting too big-- Why is it that time just has to whiz by?
Well, I'm proud of my "big" girl and she is quite pleased with herself as well. {As she should be, it's very exciting for her} Now she can keep up with Carter and has a new love for riding. She's been out "practicing" all day--and loves to show anyone who happens to come by the house.
