walking Bean

Here she is walking with the wagon, a couple weeks ago:


And here she is Wednesday evening, walking with NO WAGON:


And here's a random funny thing: we have these Quercetti tubes that Sam links into funky horns. She's clearly figured out what they're 'for', and crawls around hooting into one (looking like she's about to go snorkeling):


I haven't yet captured any of Sam's bike riding. We put the pedals on his bike about 3 weeks ago and he pedaled off gleefully, and has barely looked back since. No training wheels. The pedal-less balance bike approach has another house full of converts.

In the car today, driving back from Manchester, NH (where we met a friend and her lovely family for a picnic and park date): Mom, there's something I'm concerned about.
me: Really, Sam? what's that?
Sam: I'm concerned that if we have the windows open in the back, Bean will throw a toy out the window. I don't think we should have the windows open in the back of the car. I'm concerned about that.
(I failed to share his concern. We moved on.)
