I can ride a scooter, too!

I guess this explains the bedtime wrestling and frequent wake-ups we've been riding out lately...huge jumps in brain development!

(Sorry, no still pictures)

I can ride a tricycle!

 Today Rye put it all together and made the trike go on his own! He is delighted with himself!

Long Beach Aquarium

Rye and Myra Jean enjoyed the aquarium today!

Cousins doing laps

Rye, Alana and Ciera chased each other around Grandma and Grandpa's back yard yesterday, in honor of Uncle Dan's birthday. Rye crashed into the bushes a few times, which he found hilarious.

Earlier, Rye and Uncle Dan played their own version of Mexican Train dominoes, and fished from a boat in the living room. Uncle Dan came all the way from St. Louis to enjoy his birthday week in California.
