Father's Day Firsts

Bath time has become a special ritual for the boys to do together, so it was only appropriate that Craig's first Father's Day start off with a little tub time.



In addition to enjoying the time together, I think Craig secretly likes getting Park cleaned up so that he can control the kid's mohawk. We measured it last week and it comes in at an impressive 1 1/2 inches long. (Not bad for an eight-week-old.) Here's the outcome of bath time yesterday. You'll notice he's sporting an original onesie made by our friend Frances -- this is just one of twenty-some homemade onesies that he'll have the pleasure of wearing over the next year. Thanks, Frances!



Another first for this Father's Day: the official generation photo. See the resemblance? If only the onesie was red.



Despite the heat and our warm-blooded child, we ended the day with a trip to the park (another first). Unfortunately, the photographer didn't have a clue how to use the fancy camera so this is the only photo out of dozens that turned out.



And finally, Park was in a super mellow mood last night and was kicking back in the swing we got handed down from his cousin Hagen. We shot some video for prosperity, but as soon as we shut off the camera we got lots of smiles and babbling. Here's a little of what we caught as soon as we turned the camera back on.



Here's to a great new dad with many more "firsts" and exciting adventures ahead!
