A New Bike!

One more way to prove that Damon is just like his dad.....he loves bikes.  We got Damon this new bike last Saturday...it's the new kind that doesn't have pedals, so it teaches kids to balance and they just use their feet the push themselves along.  It's actually pretty cool.  
He was pretty nervous at the bike store, but definitely started getting it when Mike took him to the park that afternoon.  
I took him out today to ride it, and it is scary how confident he is on this thing.   I can't believe it.  He stears it around and lifts both feet up and coasts down the parking lot (the safe part without many cars- don't worry), and doesn't even tip!  It is so fun to watch him figure it out! 
I'm in the process of getting a video uploaded to add to this post....

he's a professional! :) I'm so impressed. He looks so cute in his helmet.

Wow. Those pictures make him look about a year older than he did last week. He looks like he loves it.

Cool! I've never seen a bike like that. Getting enough coordination to pedal always seems to take a while, so this looks pretty fun.
Enjoy!

I have always been intriqued by these bikes. I may have to get Seth one when he is older.

That's a cool bike! And, such a sweet tribute to your mama. Gotta agree with you that being the mom is a daunting task, but oh, so rewarding. Love ya!

What a milestone! Isn't it amazing what they can learn so quickly? He sure is a cutie...and not much older than Kirra (wink, wink) maybe we should plan an arranged marriage :)BTW..Adam went to a luncheon with the Prime minister of Australia and sat next to Syndi's husband. Wierd! Do you keep in contact with her?
