you've heard the phrase "Where the rubber meets the road"? (that is the phrase, right?)
here's what happens when the sidewalk meets the face

poor guy lost his footing on our walk. Maybe my mother is right and we do need to get him a helmet.
He is doing fine. Not pretty, but fine. :)
Aside from that excitement, he's saying all sorts of cool new things.
such as:
Cool
Awesome (specifically, "that's awesome")
grampa
Lucy
and he thrills me by saying Thank you at the right times too.
Hard to believe in one week he'll be 2!
