There were a lot more "firsts" that happened during our three weeks in Atlanta. Thanks to the sunny weather, Carlton wore a sun hat while taking his first ride in an umbrella stroller up to....
...the neighborhood pool for his first swim! He loved it so much, I've decided to do swim lessons with him this summer, which start in a couple of weeks.
Carlton also played on a playground for the first time, loving the swing. We padded him in with a towel, and he was a happy baby for a good 40 minutes his first go at it.
Carlton hadn't had many opportunities to play outside, as pre-May weather in Seattle can be pretty ugly, so even playing in the grass was a new experience for him. It was funny to pick Carlton up and have a sweaty, clammy boy in my arms....his first time in a warm climate!
Carlton's Uncle Ricky helped him along his road to musical genius during the visit :)
And playtime with Poppy was so fun that it wiped him out totally.
But naptime didn't stop my dad and his grandson from hanging out :)
While in Atlanta, we started Carlton back on solid foods. We'd taken a break of a few weeks because he didn't seem very interested when we first tried in April. But this time our hungry boy was ready.
And not just for cereal, but also for carrots!
With grandparents around to hang out with our boy, Mark and I got to go out on a really sweet third anniversary date. My thoughtful husband surprised me with a great night out in downtown Atlanta - dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant, and a superb musical at the Fox Theater, Mary Poppins. We took a quick family photo on the occasion before we headed out. I am one incredibly blessed woman to celebrate three years with this man, and many more to come with him and our sweet son!
