We have enjoyed watching some of the Olympic events on tv every night and Halle is really getting into it. There is no explanation for the picture of her wearing a bunch of old necklaces and her baby headband. Neal was trying to get her to say "I pity the fool," but we didn't quite get it out of her.

We have also been working with her on a bike Neal's parents gave her that they happened to have at their house. We tried going for a walk with her on her bike, but we ended up running just to keep up with her once she got going. So this time, we rode our bikes with her. She thinks she is such a big girl now. It was a bit of a challenge to keep her corralled in the right direction, so we put her on the sidewalk about half way through the ride. And thank heavens for the knee pads. She fell several times trying to get on and off the sidewalk to go around cars parked too far out in the driveways but it didn't even phase her.
