Both the boys tried out new forms of locomotion this weekend. On Saturday night, Kai took his first real hands-and-knees crawling steps--and promptly fell on his belly. True crawling is tantalizingly close. The very beginning of the video below shows him jump up on all fours, and then take one arm-step before reverting to army crawl.
On Sunday, Micah took Xander for his first mountain biking experience. Oakland is great for many reasons, including the fact that quality mountain biking is just a 20 minute drive into the East Bay hills. The boys went to Joaquin Miller Park for some easy trail riding, or at least that's what Micah told me when they left. Three hours later, I find out from Micah that they rode a THREE TO FOUR MILE trail, all single track, first half flat, the rest up and down. Xander rode the first two-thirds. He loved it--even telling Micah mid-ride: "Daddy, I love you."
Needless to say, Xander ate a huge dinner and went right to sleep tonight.
