Tricycle Dismount

So we get little G this tricycle. It is actually more of a scooter. Anyway we throw him on this thing thinking it is the best thing ever for him to learn how to ride. Of course he immediatly hams it up and does this....

Dad, this is how you properly dismount.

Firsts

So this last week or so has been quite the adventure. Gunnar has experienced a lot of firsts. In no specific order, here we go....


My First Snow
On December 20th Seattle experienced our first huge snow storm in 10 years. Gunnar experienced his first snow period.


HEY! What the heck is this get-up and what is all this white stuff...



Ummm....Brrr dad, I'm freezing here....I can't stand....I'm sinking.....

First Steps (On Video)

About the same week Gunnar started walking. Here are his first steps

WooooHooo now you're in trouble...

First Major Fall

About the same time Gunnar experienced his first fall while walking. Fortunately we didn't catch the actual impact on tape, but that was because in a vain effort I tried to catch him before he went head first into the foot stool.

No babies were seriously injured in the making of this video

Cheerio

Sure go ahead and laugh, but I'm not quite sure how this whole Cheerio thing is supposed to work. Evidently I'm supposed to eat these things. I may starve before getting enough of these in my mouth.

Gunnar Learns a new trick - or two

Food tricks

About a month ago my mom and dad thought it would be fun to feed me something else besides milk. Well, I have to admit I didn't take to it all that well. It give me gas and most of it ends up on my shirt anyway. I gave it a shot just to appease them, and this is what happened.

Gunnar fears for his life as we approach him with the concept of eating solid food. He complains that he doesn't even have teeth yet...

Round one, Gunnar takes his first bites, sort of...

End of first round (Tricks one - LittleG zero) - "You mean I have to swallow this stuff too...jeez you guys are picky..."

Sitting tricks

Around the same time, I got a little tired of just laying around all day...literally, so one day I sat up. It was a little scary at first, but soon I was the master of my domain and now I rule with an iron fist, when it isn't in my mouth of course.

Round Two: He starts off a little shaky, but then settles in to his stance...or whatever you call it

End of Round 2 (Tricks 1 - LittleG 1) - That's right, I got this mastered. Just don't try and feed me at the same time.

OK, that's enough for now, I'm tired...Go Away...
