We didn't get it on video but Mommy and Auntie Jennifer got to see it. B took his first step yesterday, one day after he started to really stand on his own. What can we say? He's a quick study... lol. This picture was taken later that day at the Aviation Museum in Long Island. We were there with my cousin Marilyn and her children. It was a good time.
Auntie Jennifer and B practice standing.... Next step... WALKING! Oh no!
We took B to see The Old Fat Man... a.k.a. Santa on Friday. Santa gave him a little beanie baby but I'm sure all B was asking for was Cheerios. These days that's all that B seems to want. We took him to a place called Christmas Village a few towns over from Claire's parents. Claire's Mom was taken there as a child too. It was a pretty cool place.... but if my wife asks, I will deny I said any such a thing. Two hours waiting outside in the cold to see Santa turned Daddy into a little of a Grinch. :-) I'm glad we did it but I also know it was more for Mommy and Nana then B. He won't remember Santa from the Salvation Army guy ringing a bell outside the grocery store. This might be a good tradition to start with Nana and Grandpa. As an added bonus, Daddy won''t have to stand in line in the cold next year. I guess we'll just have to wait and see next year. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas...
I came across this product the other day and can't imagine who buys one of these for their child. Maybe I'm a little old school. I had one of those fathers who said "Let him touch the hot stove. He won't do it again." when I was growning up. I can understand not wanting your kid to knock their noggin but kids are kids in my opinion. They need to experience different things and learn there are certain consequences for specfic actions (like head-butting the coffee table). I'm sure I knocked my noggin a few times while I was growing up and I turned out OK. I know, OK is relative.... It's similar to the theory that kids need germs around while growing up to build up antibodies. Who hasn't eaten dirt when they were little? My other complaint with this product is that it looks like an upside down diaper on your kids head. If you want a helmet for your kid, just give them a plastic bowl to wear on their head. :-) That's what we do.
