Rancho San Antonio

Tuesday morning a group of us went on a cool hike at Rancho San Antonio out by the Los Altos hills. Aubrey had fun with her little buddy Tyler in the car. So cute.
And, how do you get sunscreen on two very active babies? Contain them in the trunk of the car :)
I'm lucky that I have great friends here. Being fairly new to the area, I don't yet know the "cool" places to go. This was a one we will definitely have to revisit. Very popular as well. The parking lot was completely packed at 8 am on a Tuesday.
We stuck to some of the easier trails, but with 16 pounds (maybe 17?) of baby strapped to me, I was exhausted by the end.

And that 16 pounds is now officially on the loose and getting into trouble. 


The biggest obstacle for me now that she is crawling is limiting the bumps on her head. She is fearless and will dive into anything. She is also trying to pull up, but not quite there yet, resulting in some missed attempts.

I know that I can't raise her in a plastic bubble (or is that an option?) but this new phase is definitely a challenge for me. I can't believe how fast she is changing.

Plastic bubbles aren't an option. I checked. Good luck, though!

Sounds like you are having a blast. I can't believe how much you have already done. I think it's pretty easy to see where Aubrey gets her activeness from. Active mom= active baby. Good for you!
