It Must Be The Humidity

We arrived in Pennsylvania two days ago and Carson has already accomplished many significant firsts. Earlier today, we (Grandad, Sittie, Christi, Griffin, Calder, and the three of us) all went to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA (the land of the Amish) for a day of super cool rides for kids and a water park too. There aren't many rides for someone all of nine months old, but the water park is baby friendly. At the water park, Carson discovered the ways of the mysterious baby fountain. Unfortunately, a nasty thunderstorm came through and caused the park to close early, so the North Carolina clan will try to revisit Dutch Wonderland with Grandad and Sittie sometime in the fall.

On the recommendation of the Dohlamite family, we caught the Frog Prince show before the weather turned on us. The show takes place in a water pool and features three actors in frog suits who are experienced divers. We were all really impressed with the high level of skill that the frogs exhibited. The divers' act even captivated Carson.

To cap off the night, Carson pulled off a developmental milestone. As we sat in Grandad and Sittie's living room, Carson started reaching for the magazine rack that is right at his head level. After rearranging a few things in the rack to motivate him, he started reaching for the rack and began to pull himself up. It took a couple attempts, but Carson successfully pulled himself to a standing position. He repeated the feat a half dozen times. We feel pretty confident that Carson will also show us his crawling skills by the time we return to Seattle because he is scooting all over the hardwood floors here in PA. This video is his third of fourth time pulling himself up.

Yeah Carson! You are so strong.
 
My favorite part is when he turns around for his applause; he's such a ham - hmmmm, that sounds like a couple of other people I know. Charles..... Trish..... Yup, he comes by his hammy self naturally!

Yes, he is a little show off... knows when he has eyes watching. I can't believe our little baby is getting big.
 
We're so pleased to have witnessed this important FIRST.
