Walking

Chloe is now an official toddler.  Seriously, she went from her super cute famous bear crawl to full blown walking.  She really didn't spend much time practicing.  She just did it.  Now look at her, this is just a couple days after she started taking 2 or 3 steps.  This is all happening so fast.  I absolutely love the crawling phase.   I love having a little person crawl up to me and want to be picked up.  I think it is so cute and the phase is so short.  At least for my babies it was.  I guess having 3 walkers makes it a little easier.  I also don't have to worry about her crawling all over the dirty floors everywhere.  I'm also so glad she decided to walk right before we left on our trip.  It would have been really sad to miss this big milestone. 

Karate

Zackary started Karate a couple months ago and is loving it.  I always said I didn't think Karate was active enough for him until we saw a performance at his preschool fall festival.  It would be awesome if someday he was on the performance team.  Those kids were doing quite a show for us.  I also love how it teaches focus, discipline, and is physical at the same time.  I think it is the cutest thing to watch too.  

 

 

Easter

So every year for Easter we head out to Boyce Thompson Arboretum to grill breakfast, do some hiking and hunt some eggs.  We have been doing this with my family and some great friends for about 6 years now.  I can't believe that we were doing this even before we had kids.  I will admit we missed last year, but it was because we were in the hospital having our beautiful baby girl.

Chloe is really trying to walk.  She is taking about 5 or 6 steps and is doing really well.  This is just way to early for her to walk...

Afterwards we headed out to Aaron's folks house for the Allan Easter celebration.  We had a great dinner and enjoyed playing outside and Easter egg hunting.

Chloe managed to raid Zackary's Easter basket and find a sucker.  Boy did she dig that piece of candy.

Ending a great day digging in the dirt is perfect!
