our big boy

so we got link his first big-boy car seat last week. his head was about to fall over the top edge of the newborn car seat and his feet were squished into the seat as well, so we finally gave in. :) he LOVES it. he loves being up high and able to see out all the windows. this was after an afternoon of running errands, and he was still all smiles!

one of his fave spots, my little corner in our living room, on the couch, right by the window. he loves, loves to watch the pups play in the afternoon. this is also the spot i make most of my blog posts, from my laptop, looking out at my garden and roses. i guess he has taken notice, because he loves it and loves to hit the buttons on my laptop, too!

an afternoon at the arboretum with dad. we had so much fun. picnic, stroller time, and link got to play with his dad...he was thrilled!! he loooooooves time with daddy.

and this weekend, we had a b-day party for our friend, tommy in arlington. we decided to make a night of it and stay with hunny and papa, too. papa and link at dinner, pre-b-day party....adorable. i think papa is thinking he might want to try one of link's puffs. and all the while with a steak in front of him...how mean. haha. :)

and on a slightly different level, linkers with michael irvin. the guy has his past, and link seems to be showing judgement here, but i have to say he was a true gentleman. he even said, "god bless you," as we walked away. sweet. :)

all in all, it was a great weekend. oh, and i knew we had this crawling thing started, but was nearly in tears when link, while standing at his little gym, decided to take his hands off and TAKE TWO STEPS toward me before crashing into my arms - and then attempting the same motion for the next thirty minutes. suffice it to say i am happy this was a one-off deal for now. i'm not ready for walking!!! :)
