malloy loves riding her big girl bike! she's been asking for weeks to try it out and we finally got around to adding air in the tires and putting the training wheels on. she rode it around the basement last night for a bit  and was ready to ride out in the open! she did great! rex had his bike out, too, but he can't ride it yet without looking at his feet. he doesn't yet have control of steering the handlebars or sitting up straight. so he thought it was just as fun to run around behind her! we played at the park a little bit after riding bikes. 

while sleeping at grandma and grandpa's last weekend, malloy accidentally swallowed this stone she had hidden under her pillow at bedtime. since then, i've had the glorious task of searching her poop for the past 5 days. today was the day it came out! hallelujah! so glad that she's ok and that it's out!
