Daddy.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve never heard of these, it&#8217;s a pretty neat idea.\u00a0 Usually kids go from a tricycle to a bike with training wheels to a bike with no training wheels.\u00a0 Well, the concept of balance bikes is that you go straight from this bike to a regular bike with no training wheels.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll notice the bike has no pedals &#8212; she has to use her feet to move it.\u00a0 As she gets bigger and gains more coordination, she&#8217;ll go faster and faster and start to pick up her feet and coast.\u00a0 So, hopefully she&#8217;ll learn to balance a bike with a little less fear than sticking her ontop of a regular bike where she can&#8217;t reach the ground.\u00a0\u00a0 We&#8217;ll see.\u00a0 But my husband and I were pretty excited about it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/erinfarrell.exposuremanager.com\/scripts\/expman.pl?rm=view_photo&amp;photo_id=dsc_1173web_17_8_24&amp;file=dsc_1173web_large.jpg&amp;dir=galleries\/17\/8\/24&amp;touched=1250392464\" border=\"0\" alt=\"[photo]\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/erinfarrell.exposuremanager.com\/scripts\/expman.pl?rm=view_photo&amp;photo_id=dsc_1180web_17_8_24&amp;file=dsc_1180web_large.jpg&amp;dir=galleries\/17\/8\/24&amp;touched=1250392466\" border=\"0\" alt=\"[photo]\" width=\"465\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/erinfarrell.exposuremanager.com\/scripts\/expman.pl?rm=view_photo&amp;photo_id=dsc_1193web_17_8_24&amp;file=dsc_1193web_large.jpg&amp;dir=galleries\/17\/8\/24&amp;touched=1250392468\" border=\"0\" alt=\"[photo]\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-fb-like-btn-wrap\"><div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/2009\/08\/maternity-leave-lots-of-family-pics\/\" data-share=\"false\" data-layout=\"button_count\" data-width=\"90\" data-show-faces=\"\" data-action=\"like\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I&#8217;m no longer taking on any weddings or portrait sessions, you&#8217;ll be seeing a lot more of my personal photos for the next two months.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42 Molly doesn&#8217;t turn two until September 10th, but with a baby due on August 29th (ACK!), I decided I&#8217;d rather have her party early and do it pregnant [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88,"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86\/revisions\/88"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erinfarrellphotography.com\/theblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
