A Rockin' Gift

My dad made Karsten the most beautiful rocking horse for his first birthday. He's been working on it for quite some time and I think it turned out wonderfully. Karsten is so lucky to have such a special keepsake.

He brought it over last night as an early birthday present. Karsten liked standing next to it, but when we put him on it, he wasn't so sure what to think. He has never sat on top of something like the horse, so I think he felt a little unsafe with being up high.

Checking out the horse


Trying it out for the first time - he was fascinated with the horses ears.


Not so sure about this - he wanted Grandpa to hold him.


He was done and wanted to be off the horse - 'save me Grandpa'
