Helmet Head

Saturday morning we went to Richmond Rescue to get a free, brand new helmet for Jakob to go with his new tricycle.  I fully expected it to go poorly, because he doesn't particularly even like hats on his head.  Amazingly, we got through the entire fitting without him making a peep.  Then the EMT doing the fitting said "all done!" and Jakob burst into tears.  Fortunately looking at the ambulances helped calm him quickly.

I'm going to hang onto this for a while
I may not entirely like this yet, but I'll give it a try on my own terms

November 9 is a big day in our house, because on this date last year we got our first glimpse of our little man.  Of course, at that time, he was still too tiny for the doctors to know his gender, but they assured us he was growing well and healthy.  From the first moment his image appeared on the ultrasound monitor, Dan and I were so in
