To celebrate the completion of the Bean's first year in the world - and our survival - Alex took the day off from work so we could hang out as a family of three. We had a relaxing morning at home, with plans for an afternoon of great adventure. Turns out, the weather went from sunny-ish and cold, to rainy rainy. Such is Oregon. But we persevered, taking the Bean on her first bike ride in the trailer, being that she's officially 1 and all, the minimum recommended age for a helmet and biking. We hit up the Springwater Corridor - where the Bean saw a random deer and several honking geese. She LOVED riding in the trailer, with a shit-eating-grin plastered to her face as we biked along. But she HATED her helmet. Truth is, it's still too big for her, and she doesn't really like things on her head as it is. Is there something ironic about the SLP who specializes in TBI allowing the removal of her own baby's helmet for a bike ride? Yeah, I thought so. We spent the evening at home, with visits from all the grandparents to give the Bean a hug and a fist-bump-blow-it-up on her actual birthday. She crashed early, so Alex and I reminisced about her newborn days, looking at photos and video. My goodness she was just a tiny little fresh-baked muffin!
