Our First Social Outing





We're back by popular demand, at least by Grandma Sue. Here are a few snapshots of Alistair's third week of life.  We dressed Alistair up in his overalls, courtesy of his cousin Atlas, for his first social outing. We went to Jamie and Eleanor's to watch the FA Cup final (that's football, aka soccer). Matthew is quite keen to get him started early on the sport, and he seemed happy to be facing the television. We also tried out our new "freedom sling" in a practice run for our trip to London tomorrow. We have to make the big journey to get Alistair his US citizenship and passport. It will be another day of firsts for the little guy, including the London Underground!

Ah, the marketing of the freedom sling - as if the life of a parent had any touch of freedom in it! Good luck on your outing, and may the camera capture Alistair's first smile. You all look great, as we have come to expect in your weekly posts. Excellent work.

I am reminded of Atlas in the shot with the overalls. Alistair looks so precious curled up with Matthew. We're looking forward to photos from his first trip to London by cab, train and underground. Very few can say they have had such an experience!
