Two big milestones

I don't have much to say about this. I think the pictures tell it all. This is Violet's first bike, and in moving up to a bike, she has abandoned her trike to Stella. Needless to say, they are both thrilled. And please take note of how immensely cool Violet's bike truly is. All we added were the tassels and the training wheels. And the license plate, of course.


Violet helped Stella with her seatbelt. She is quite the adoring big sister most of the time.


Isn't this totally the picture of childhood?


Stella was happiest when she was going really, really fast (as was Violet). It was just hard to get a picture of them in their rapture. Here's one of Stella.


And here's one of Violet. Zoomed in and cropped with everything I've got.


This picture is notable in that it shows off one of Stella's new talents: pointing. Jason had finally caught up with Violet and Stella was pointing to them.


And I had to make sure you got a really good look at Stella's boots. She adores them, but they don't stay on very well. This was taken after her ride and she was a trifle exhausted if you can't tell.
