Maddie has been LOVING riding her bike this Spring and is getting very fast. She's been riding with training wheels on and I've started to get nervous that she's going to wipe out because she goes so fast. So I was curious to see how she could do riding without the training wheels. Tonight, she asked Chris to take off her training wheels and she did pretty well! It's a start at least and I think with some practice she'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. She seems to have a good reflex to brake and put her foot down when she gets off balance. Pretty cool!
Madeline is also having a blast at the pool so far. It's only been open a little over a week and I think she's been swimming about 5 times. At the beginning she was very resistant to putting her face in the water, but has since become quite comfortable doing it. Here are two videos from the same day. The first one is in the baby pool and she tenatively puts her face in. The second is her jumping into the big pool all by herself (with a vest on) and going under water. I'm excited to see what she can do by the end of the summer! Oh and these videos are all taken on our new Flip Video camera that Chris gave me for my birthday! It's a little HD video camera that is so much better than taking video on our old digital camera. I love it!

I love all of the videos! She is doing awesome on her bicycle. She looks great putting her head in the water, you can really tell by her expression how much it took for her to do that; Bravo, Maddie!!
She's getting so big! How fun, love the great smile captured at the end of the kiddie pool video :)
Looks like we're going to have a little swimmer like her mommy! :)
