We got a walker!

Maren: 
Last week I asked my mommy: "Mommy, when are we going to ride bikes on the freeway again?"  I meant the greenway of course, but mommy sure got a kick out of that! So, she decided we needed to go. I got to take my bike and we had a really nice walk. We have also been walking down to the mailbox a lot but its a bit to far for my bike since it is uphill the whole way home. 
Spring is in the air and mommy and daddy have been busy! I try to help out whenever I can... Washing windows, feeding the chickens, taking care of the new baby peep-peeps we got... I love to help! 
Having Nonna and Nonno close by sure is nice. My Nonna has been helping take me to swim lessons on the days my mommy and daddy work. I usually get to stay the night with them the night before and then I get to go home with them after swim!  We got to take Nonno's fancy mustang the other day and I really liked the fancy seats! 
Nonno's birthday fell during the weekend that we were at the cabin in the snow. They happened to be out of town that weekend too so we celebrated it a bit late. We had a nice birthday dinner at our house and Nonno's favorite cake that we always share! I helped him blow out the candles and then we got to dig in! 












Maddox: 
I am officially a walker! Though I have to say, my favorite mode of transportation is still the crawl. I will take a few steps in between objects but if the distance is too great, I drop to my knees and go. I have also taken to walking on my knees.  Especially on the hardwood floor where it is too slippery for me to be confident. 
The weather is getting nicer as spring approaches and we have been spending more time outdoors. Mommy has really been trying to get more excercise time in which means nice walks for us. We have gone down the the greenway a few times but we also just walk down the mailbox and back when in a pinch. 
As sissy mentioned, we celebrated Nonno's birthday a week late because they had been out of town. We had a really nice evening and Nonna and Nonno brought up a couple of friends that were here visiting for the weekend. I had fun getting to know all of them! 
I am definitely mommy's little side kick. I LOVE to be held so I can see what is going on in the world. When mommy does put me down I am right in the middle of things. I'm a great help unloading the dishwasher (though I'm best at taking the dirty dishes out and spreading them all over the floor), a huge help keeping the cupboards all neatly arranged, and a big help loading the dryer (though I truly spend more time crawling in and out of it or throwing the laundry out onto the floor)!! Mommy loves my help!!
