Summer Solstice

And to think, Ed and I were going to let the solstice pass as if it were just any other day. Lucky for us, the little man had plans to celebrate all night long - and he did. I'm sure he'll sleep all night tonight though, right? please Connor?

We went to happy hour down at the Marina and we celebrated the Royals sweeping Pittsburgh - woohoo! It was quite exciting listening to a bad cover band and sweating it out with some friends. Tomorrow night, we'll go for the evening out at Grateful Ed's. Because we were on the waterfront, it was perfectly acceptable for Connor to practice using a cup to drink some water. He's actually getting pretty good at it - though it's not a skill to be shown off indoors yet - unless we want to see if Mims still has those lightening reflexes she had when I was a young kid with a wobbly drink cup.

Connor impressed his nanny by standing up behind this toy of his that sort of looks like a lawn mower (but because I like the LEARNING toys so much, it's actually a shape sorter) and walked across the room. It was pretty impressive. It's not nearly as wild as when he uses the walker from the exer-saucer.
