Bike Seat Fun

Jacob and I went to buy a bike seat today for his birthday present from Mom and Dad. You would not believe how hard it is to find one of these darn things. I went to 4 different stores and only found 2! You would think there would be a better selection than that! Anyway, we finally just got the one at the store we were at since we didn't want to go anywhere else and then we rolled over to the helmet section. Safety first, right? OH MY! Jacob thinks that a bike helmet is some sort of torture device and he was screaming and thrashing around trying to get the hemet off his head. He ended up scratching himself in the face trying so hard to get it off. We still bought one, but I'm wondering if the whole day was a big waste of time and waste of money. I'll try him after he wakes up from his nap and hopefully he'll be more accepting of the helmet, otherwise I don't think you'll be seeing us going for any bikes rides. It doesn't sound like much fun to have a screaming kid wiggling around making my bike unsteady just because of a "horrible" helmet. Any idea to may this a little easier on the little guy? I'm all ears.
*UPDATE*
After a few cries, I think he's getting used to it. Now that we got one that fits better and he realizes that he can't get it off, I think he's give up and is dealing with it. He even smiled for a few pictures! (the dorky sunglasses came with the helmet.)

Byebye Mullet

Jacob got his first "official" haircut today. Daddy cut it with the clippers. The mullet and duck wings finally gone! (its not a very big change, just trimmed the back and sides)
He was a very good boy! Here's some pictures.

Jacob's Friend Rhy's Birthday Party

Jacob had a great time yesterday at his friends 1st birthday party. Even though he had a pretty bad cold, (mommy was sick too) he was a real trooper and didn't get too cranky until he started to get sleepy. There were a bunch of kids his age there to play with and it was funny watching him interact with them. We did learn that we're probbaly going to have some issues with sharing soon. Jacob was teasing the other babies by holding toys up to them and hanking them away when they went to grab it. Silly me thinking that he was being a nice boy and sharing!
3 more weeks until Jacob has his party, I hope its just as good of a turn out as Rhys party was!
sorry, no pictures...mom forgot her camera while in her cold medicine coma!

Here are some recent pictures

This is Jacob's new Site!

The pictures are harder to get now that Jacob is on the go, and the stories about him are starting to get more interesting, I've decided to try something new.
This is Jacob's new webpage and I'll try to stay more up to date for everyone to check out pictures and such of him as he continues to grow. I hope you like it, and don't forget to save the page in your favorites so that you can stop by from time to time and see whats new!
