Mallory the un-Olympian

Today we headed to a gym to play! They put out all sorts of toddler friendly gym equipment (very low balance beam, tunnels, tons of mats and cubes to climb on, a rope swing, a running trampoline, hula hoops, stuffed tigers and pooh bears..random, I thought), played music that reminded me of pep rallies from high school and had a fan that blew semi-cool air for the mommies sweating to death! Mallory wasn't sure of it at first (no, really??), but once she saw the other kids having fun, she decided to as well! She obviously isn't quite ready for the Olympics yet (see video below), but she sure had fun pretending to be a gymnast for the day! She asked for a kiss immediately after this:




Speaking of the Olympics, it took all I had not to pull out my mad gymnastics skills from 8th grade and try a round-off right there in front of everyone. Those darn gymnasts make it look so easy on TV. I'm pretty positive an ambulance would had to have been called if I even tried to attempt it!!!



And, Miss Morgan wanted in on all the action too. She's getting closer and closer to crawling. Just in the last week, she's started rocking back and forth almost on all fours. She just squealed and bounced at all the big kids running up and down the trampoline! Check out those knees! Somebody needs to feed that kid!


Tuckered out after a day of playing and eating her first crackers!!

Oh my gosh! Jason and I sat here and watched that video over and over again. Soooooo cute! She is growing up too fast and YES you need to feed Morgan - she has no meat on her bones.

Love!

Did Gunnar give you confidence in feeding Morgan crackers? :)

I would have loved to see you bust some gymnastic moves...it seems to run in your family!

Let me know next time you go there...I'll have to tag along! It looks so fun!

That is so fun. Faith is so into the "lympics" as she says. She rolls all over the floor and her cousins taught her to do a summersault. It is so cute. i am thinking we will be doing the gymnastics thing soon.

Morgan reminds me of Faith at that age. We never feed her either remember. ha hA!!!
