Easter & 6 months!

EASTER 2011



I'm a week late...but last weekend we celebrated Easter with both our families (lunch at my sister's, and supper at Shane's parents). We had a few hours to spare in-between, so being that it was gorgeous weather out that day (it's hard to remember that it was actually nice out this year...but it was!), we decided to go for a 4-wheeler ride. Now, most probably think we are crazy/dangerous parents (because who straps their 6 month old on the back of a 4-wheeler anyway?!) ;), but none of us have had an ER visit, or broken bone, or major accident (yet)... Minor yes!  This was one of those days!   

Mason rode his own wheeler for over 2 hours that day, and within the last half mile of being to our destination, he got a tad too close to our big 4-wheelers front tire, so he jerked to the left (to avoid hitting us), rode up on 2 wheels, tried to correct it by jerking right, and his body flew off the other side.  He managed to run his leg over, while never letting go of the handlebars!  I jumped off our 4-wheeler before Shane was even stopped, to check on him, but he seemed ok.  I offered to drive his the remainder of the way, but he insisted he was fine. :)  I suffered a minor heart-attack, and he had a large bruise on his leg...Otherwise, no injuries. He said it was a good thing he had his helmet on!
 Braelyn slept the entire time! Don't worry, she'd tied down tight, and I sat next to her and held on to the carseat...just in case!
Today, was Brae's 6 month appointment.  She weighed in at 16 lbs. 12 oz. and 26.5 inches tall.  A little above average on both, but healthy and right on schedule for development! Next up: teeth & crawling!
