Toddler Adventures

Now that Norah is one, she's having all kinds of adventures! She got a new bike seat for her birthday, so she has enjoyed some nice rides with Dan and I. She doesn't particularly love the helmet (or really any other hat at the moment, either), but she seems to forget about it once she gets going. Now that Dan is done with his classes for the semester (another 4.0- congrats Dan!), and as soon as I get my bike tires fixed, we can start going on some family bike rides in the evenings.

So stylish in her pink helmet...Go faster!

Norah also got a sandbox for her birthday- some assembly (by Dan) required. Norah definitely appreciated her Daddy's efforts, and now she likes to dig and sift the sand from one pile to another. She only tried to eat the sand once- I think she got the idea pretty quickly that it wasn't something she wanted to have in her mouth!

Norah loves her new sandbox!

Last weekend, Dan and I took Norah to the zoo. While she wasn't all the impressed by the elephants or tigers, she did love watching the ducks and prairie dogs. I guess she can relate to the smaller animals better, and they definitely move around a lot more. She also enjoyed having a few bites of the ice cream cone that we bought!

Fun day at the zoo!

Finally, Norah had her first real swim in the pool last night. We had a pretty cool spring, so the pool is just now getting warm enough for a swim. I think she'll like the water even more when it's hotter outside, but she had fun kicking and splashing around in her ring. Those are our updates for now. Hope everyone is having a great start to the summer!
