We've had a few highlights worth mentioning.
Tuesday, the 21st: Gus's first "walk" in the neighborhood. We got to show him off to a few of our friends while using our new jogging stroller. Thankfully, the mosquitoes didn't carry Gus off.
Friday, the 17th: Gus IV and V caught some of the Cardinals / Cubs game. Yes, we watched baseball on the day he was born, but I had to indoctrinate him at the first possible opportunity.
Monday, the 20th: First introduction to a contigent from the Currin family (Sam, Sr. and Sam, Jr. absent). The Currins have been friends since my freshman year at Covenant. Luke (green shirt) was quick to point out Gus's developing neck rolls.

He was happy to get a clean bill of health, however. We discovered that he really does well in his car seat. Hmmm...can we use it at home, too?
Thursday, the 23rd: His first bath. He actually seemed to enjoy it. Of course, we had very little idea of what we were doing so it may be a different story in the future.

Saturday, the 25th: Our first "date" without Gus. Admittedly, it was only to the scooter shop and lasted about 45 minutes, but it was nice to be together. We've been missing each other the last week or so. This teamwork thing often requires us to trade off responsibilities. Thanks to Patti and Chris for "watching" Gus while we were gone. He was the perfect grandchild as he just slept the entire time we were gone.
Saturday, the 25th: Gus, V pees in the face (literally) of Gus, IV. I was ready to cover his pee pee with a washcloth, but he caught me in the 1.6 second transition. Gus, 2. New dad, 0.

Saturday, the 25th: Gus went out on the town for the first time. The Deterdings wanted to treat us to some of our favorite Thai food, but instead of take out we decided to just take him with us and test the waters. He just stayed in his car seat and slept the whole time, up in the window next to our booth...quite a sight.
Gosh, it's been fun so far.

congrats Scott & Amy!
Glad to see pics of the good times with the fam.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Great update! The big question with regards to your "date"...did you manager to not talk about the baby at all? I'm betting not. LOL.
Sounds like you're adjusting to parenthood really well! Thanks for posting so many great pictures-- we wish we could see you all in person. Gus looks like a happy baby (and he seems to have good aim, too, if you catch my drift Scott)
:)
