Sam’s First Birthday

Best Buddies

After the Fremont Solstice Parade, we headed out to Mercer Island to help Kevin and Jenn’s son Sam celebrate his first birthday! Lots of toys, ice cream cake and pictures taken, and a fun afternoon was had by all. Del and Sam got some quality “hanging out” time as well, and it’s always a blast to see the second generation of Sutton and Carmony kids becoming friends!

Hanging Out at the Fremont Solstice Parade

Fremont Solstice Parade

We had an eventful Saturday, starting off with a trek to Fremont with Del’s Aunt Becky and friends to see the one-and-only Fremont Soltice Parade, complete with home-made float, clowns, naked bicyclists and more. Del had a front row seat for the action, but didn’t see all that interested.

First Father’s Day

First Father's Day

What a great way to spend my first Father’s Day - at the ballpark with my dad and my son. Three generations of cranky Carmonys, spending some quality "guy time" together.

I love you both…

Quite the Busy Week: Crawling, Standing and Two New Teeth!

Crawling Through the Kitchen

We’re a bit late getting this posted, as it’s been a hectic last week or two here, but Del had quite the exciting post-Memorial Day week, officially starting to crawl and stand up on his own, along with revealing two budding new teeth (his top two front chompers), all in the span of 72 hours!

It’s been really amazing seeing the progression of his crawling, which went from a couple tentative shuffles forward (after lots of going backwards over the past few weeks), to getting noticeably better at crawling with each passing day.

The day after his first successful crawl, Del surprised us both by promptly pulling himself upright (by hanging onto Dianne for leverage)! Of course, now with the combination of standing and his newfound mobility, he’s getting into everything. We’re getting a crash course is exactly what all needs to be babyproofed in our condo (aside from electrical outlets, which we’ve had capped with plug covers for some time now).

It’s awesome to see him moving about as well as he does, and it’s truly exciting to know that full-fledged walking is just around the corner! Man, he’s growing up fast…

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day

Delton, with the help of his day care provider Julie, put together this wonderful gift for Dianne for her first “official” Mother’s Day. We both got a bit misty eyed over it, and we’re still stumped as to how Julie got him to sit still enough to make such good impressions!
