Eating Naked

Archer has been a really messy eater lately. As the warmer weather comes, I might try to do what my mom did with my little brother. Hugh liked to throw his food around, so she just put him outside when he ate. The other day I decided I didn't want to do even more laundry, so I took his clothes off. He was so greasy and yucky, but all I had to do was wash his little tummy off.

Pachyderms on Parade

After some debate about whether Archer should miss his morning nap and if it was possible to get stampeded by elephants, we threw caution to the wind and headed towards Union Station to watch the elephants from Ringling Brothers etc. circus. So fun! Now I just need to get tickets to the circus.

St. Patrick's Day 8K and Sleeping with Scout

We had a good weekend. Saturday was rainy so we set off to the Building Museum so Archer could have some quality playtime and pick up a bunch of germs by putting everything in his mouth.

On Sunday I ran in the St. Patrick's Day 8k with Lizzie and her friend Elizabeth. It was rainy and cold, but as always, racing was fun. I love the free food at races too. I should have eaten more of bagels. Last year this time I was really really pregnant. I swore to myself I would run in a race again and I am so glad I did! My time wasn't even that bad (for me)- about 8.5 minute miles.

Elizabeth, me, Archer and Lizzie post race.

Sweet baby Archer back to back with Scout.

Reading in my chair...

Although this has nothing to do with title of my blog post or the pictures below it is important for me to document that the past weekend I left Archer overnight for the very first time and I survived! I wasn't worried about David or Archer, but just my mental health because it was really hard to say goodbye for 24 hours to the little boy who is constantly at my side. David is a phenomenal father. The guys had a great bonding time going to Granny's and Phil's and hanging out. I had a great time in NYC. So overall a success, but next trip I want to be a family affair.

Snow Day!!!

Archer looks a little drugged right here, but he just woke up from a nap when I took the video.
