First Time on a Bike

Jackson has had so many firsts lately...first time eating solid food, first time seeing his cousins, first time on a swing...and now, first time on a bike!  One of the things that Bryan and I enjoyed pre-baby was taking our bikes out for an evening or weekend ride.  We have looked forward to the day that Jackson was strong enough to be able to enjoy riding along with us!  

We had to order him the smallest helmet that they make, cinch it down to the smallest setting and insert a few additional pads, but he was safe to go and looked like a champ!

 Trying it on for size.

Then we adjusted his new bike seat and straps so that everything would fit just right!

And off we went...

It was a brisk day so we didn't stay out long, but Jackson seemed to enjoy having a new vantage point to see our neighborhood.  He particularly liked getting to watch our shadows on the pavement as we rode around and changed directions with the sun.  

What a stud!  So accomplished!
