Last night was a beautiful summer's evening and so we ventured out as a family to a nearby park for some good old fashioned fun- and Arthur's first swing ride!
He loved it! I'm not sure what we are looking at here, but whatever it was captivated his attention for most of the swing time.
There's nothing so relaxing as a park swing. Notice how he is gripping the chain, he's a natural! (Either that or he is clinging on for dear life... whichever!)
Daddy even got in on the swinging action!
We had a great time!
This was us leaving the park and I had to get this picture of Chris carrying Arthur- he and I switched off before we left, so Peanut got a ride home from Daddy. Everyone in public loves when they see Chris carrying him, I guess not all guys would strap their babies on and take them for a walk. What a great dad!
This is me getting caught in the act of sentamentality...opps!
Well, everyone says that Arthur looks just like Chris- so we decided to put that to the ultimate test. What do think?
Ok, ok- I know this is strange, but hear me out. How long has it been since you've stopped to notice a snail crawling across the sidewalk? I haven't seen one in years- since I was a kid and watching a snail was worth at least a good 10 minutes of entertainment! Where have all the good times gone? When did I get so busy that I stopped noticing the little things in life? So this is my tribute to the little things, may we always stop to make way for the snails! Alright- moving on...
Arthur is getting really good at putting his fist in his mouth to suck on it. It was fun to watch his early attempts- the coordination came slowly so he got a lot of fists in the eyes or smashed on the cheeks, the mouth is such a hard target! But here he is after a successful attempt, we think he's got it down now so we'll be moving on to bigger and better things, like maybe discovering our toes!
Caught in the act once again! There's nothing like becoming a mom to turn you into a camera-holic.
What a perfect way to end such a fun evening together- snuggling on the couch! All of this discovering sure wears a wee one out- and he certainly loves sitting with daddy.
There's another pair of pajamas that he is growing out of, oh well- another day, another outfit. I guess they can't stay tiny forever, but oh how I wish he would!

He is getting to so big. Why do they have to grow up?
Wow, I don't look for a week, and Arthur has become a rock star, marathon swimmer, and wears glasses already! Plus outgrowing every outfit you put on him- even his swim diaper looked small! I love your blogging efforts and seeing Arthur doing so many fun things at such a young age... we love and miss you all.

Oh my gosh- those PJ's look so comfy, Arthur just made me VERY tired. Glad life seems to be going so well, you look very happy.
