A year of many firsts...

The first year of Dallen's life has brought with it so many firsts and I am sure so many more to come. Last night Dallen gave us our first big scare. He hit his head, right in between the eyes, on the edge of one of his toy boxes. This kid hits his head ALL the time, but this time was pretty bad. He hit his head so hard it caused the inside of his nose to tear and he got his first bloody nose. We called the triage nurse who told us what to look for but for now he should be ok. This morning I took him to the doctor and he said he should be just fine with a little Tylenol for the headache/bruise and some Vaseline in his nose to prevent itchy scabbing. The doctor told me that Dallen has a serious case of Y chromosome. That's my boy, ALL BOY, all 20 pounds 12 ounces!!! He is a tough guy, just check him out:

You have to look pretty closely to see the bruise in this picture, it was still small and light in the early morning.

This one you can see that giant lump on his head a little better.
Another first in this picture you can kind of see Dallen's first little tooth :)

On a happier note, another first...people comment on a lot of things about Dallen, how big he is, how brown his eyes are, what a happy baby he is, and so many more but mostly I hear, "He has so much hair"!! Well, Dallen got his first haircut thanks to cousin Whitney just before Matty's wedding. He was a pretty good sport. He never cried but he sure wiggled a lot. Here are some photos to document the big day:
