Making tracks

Each in his or her own way... here's Maddie, showing off her new(ish) crawling skills (it's made my life a lot easier, since she's taken her time in crawling and walking!) - she's definitely getting around now, keeping us all on our toes. Sometimes she still tucks one leg beside her and one leg in front of her and plunks them along in little jumps; other times she crawls in the "traditional" fashion. Both ways are super cute.

Meanwhile, one of Ollie's favorite pastimes is still mowing the lawn with Daddy on the big tractor. He's careful to bend down and avoid the low hanging branches at the side of the yard (see first photo), and even gets to steer some of the time. Both boys pretty much love it to bits (see second photo).
