A new mode of transportation...

Talan has been taking a few steps here and there for a while now, but all of the sudden today he is obsessed with walking (maybe his calloused knees are realizing it is easier to walk).

This clip is for the family so you can actually see hear his cute laugh--no walking on this one, but at least you can see his face!

Austin's 3rd Birthday

Yesterday was Austin's 3rd birthday. It was so much fun. He was thrilled about every little thing we did. From having chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, to riding on the horse by the shopping carts at Walmart, to eating cake. His face had a permanent smile all day.
I had the goal of making a Diego cake, but after talking to a friend, I realized that I didn't have all the supplies. Austin was satisfied with a dot cake in the Diego mold. I'll have to give the frosting a try next time.

Austin talked about licking the beater for 3 days prior to us making the cake.

Austin had to follow the clues to find his birthday present. It was a new bike.
Talan watching Austin ride his new bike. The pads worked well for crawling around. He has been taking a few steps on his own, but isn't super comfortable yet. He gets really excited when he does walk.
The big man on his new bike. He picked up on how to ride so quick, we were pleasantly surprised (especially bc I am on my own for the rest of the week to take him out)!
