Suckers that we are, we gave Milo and Calder their birthday presents yesterday. Yes, their birthdays are not until August 30 and 16, respectively. We had planned on giving Milo a two-wheel bike for his birthday this year, as he has been getting really skilled at riding his tricycle. But every time I would take Milo out to ride his trike, Calder would throw a fit about getting a turn too. I just refused to purchase a second tricycle and pushing around the "cozy coupe" is getting old (for my back).
Then, on Friday, Milo hopped on a friend's two-wheeler with training wheels at the playground and didn't look back. Justin took only a little convincing--I mean do we really want them missing out on biking all summer long until their birthdays in August--and off we went to get another bike.
Here are some shots of Justin and Milo assembling the two-wheeler:

And, here are the boys on their inaugural rides:
I swear it was just the other day that we gave Milo his tricycle and his feet did not even reach the pedals:

So what's in store for their real birthday presents?
Grandpa
Milo's wearing a shirt with a drumset on it! I'm totally jealous.
it took me a little while to figure out that last picture was milo! i wondered, "who's that kid and what's he doing on milo and calder's blog?"
Yes--that was Milo at 11 months--much smaller and rounder. How quickly time flies. I couldn't wait to give him his bike for his first birthday either.
Yea, future cyclists! Auntie Suzanne and Uncle Craig would be more than happy to help them pick out their next custom titanium frames! :)
