The Gourmand

"Hey, I wonder what I can do with this!"

"Mmmm...mmm..mmm.."

Stepping reflex

Many babies don't still show the stepping reflex at 3 months, but Arthur is skinny and strong so his is still very obvious.

More from the Braves game

A few more shots of the kid at the stadium.

Braves game

We made it to Turner Field to see the Braves on Sunday.  It threatened to rain, but ended up being a beautiful day.  The Braves got only 3 hits and lost 5-0 to the Dodgers.  The whole family got on the jumbotron scoreboard.  It was the kiss cam.  Mom was mortified.

 

Laser show

We went to the Stone Mountain laser show this past weekend.  Arthur liked watching the show and the people all around us.  Here he is with dad after the show.

The picture is a little fuzzy, but it's not bad given how dark it was there.

The wheel

Chomp!

Bumbo Time

Arthur enjoys being upright.  He likes being in the Baby Björn when we go out and he likes standing or sitting upright (with our assistance).  We recently got a Bumbo, a giant piece of foam that helps the baby sit up.  It got mixed reviews, but he seems to like it.

Swimming

Here is a final post from our trip.  It's Art trying out a swimming pool for the first time. 

The Joy of Feet

Arthur's great new discovery is his feet.  He enjoys staring at and grabbing them.

On top of old smoky

Here are pictures on top of Clingman's Dome - the highest point in Tennessee at 6,643 feet.  It was very cloudy and poured on our way back down.  Mom and dad got wet, but Arthur was cozy in his stroller.

Great Smoky Park

Getting his first national park stamp

Arthur was tired at the historic farm

Waterfalls

Arthur visited his first two waterfalls on our trip.

Waterfall #1 -Mingo Falls

Mingo Falls

Waterfall #2 -Juney Whank Falls

Dad says it's not a good picture, but it makes mom laugh.

Vacation!

We wanted to get away for a few days before school starts, so we made a trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  We stayed on the North Carolina side, which is about 3 hours north of home. 

Here we are on the Blue Ridge Parkway, just outside of the park.

 

Just ducky

Planking

Planking - it's a thing...

Rattle socks + bouncy chair

I know we've posted on each of these before, but Arthur had fun when the rattle socks and bouncy chair were put together the other night.

Grownup stuff

Arthur took his first trip to the bank today to set up a savings account. (Thanks for the start, Janet & Alan!)

Waiting for our turn

Waiting on paperwork

Success!

Bath time

Taking a bath used to be a terrible experience.  Lately, though, Arthur really enjoys it.
