"Mumaah"

In addition to "hi," which he has said for a while, Arthur has started to say Da and Dada for Andrew and muma for me. Here is a video of him coming to me.

Whenever he says dada it sounds very happy.  Whenever he says muma it sounds like it does in this video.

Water table

It's heating up down here.  This is just a little clip of Arthur playing at his water table.

I love a parade

These are just from a fun night at home playing with a new pull toy.

Fathers Day

We went and fed animals last weekend. We forgot the camera so here is a phone shot.

We hope everyone had a great one!

Oh, leaves!

We spent like 20 minutes on this bridge.

East Palisades

We went for a walk along the Chattahoochee River last weekend.  Arthur enjoyed playing on this bridge.

The worm

Here is the pile of books Art picked out at the library.  He is our son!

Choo choo

Pardon me boy...

The second picture was on a trolley ride through the old train station.  We learned that the Chattanooga train line was important because, after the civil war, it was the first one that connected the North and South using the same train track gauge.  We went to the end of the track, and then we got to flip the seat backs the other way to go back.

TN Aquarium

Here are a couple pictures from our visit to the aquarium in Chattanooga.

Shark

There is a butterfly there, and Art's happy.  Honest.

Art in the park

More practice walking last week.

Lookout Mountain

We went to Chattanooga over Memorial Day weekend.  Somehow I'm just  getting the pictures up.

Here is some of our morning on top of Lookout Mountain.

More Art

More pictures from our Art Museum visit.

Art viewing Art

We took a visit to the High Art Museum on Sunday.  Arthur did well through 3 of the floors.  Then he got angry when he realized he couldn't touch anything. Fortunately, we found the kids area and had fun playing there.

Strawberrypalooza

We made it out to a farm for the end of the strawberry season.

Arthur liked picking the berries, but not putting them in the basket.  Instead he held as many as he could in his fist and made jelly.

Singing and cake

Here is a longish video of Arthur with his first birthday cake.
