A good bathtime pic for you!

He gets really excited when you tell him it is bath time. I hope this continues when he gets older.

My Little Genius

We went a little crazy during the snow days, but Art learned a thing or two. 

Not sure where this came from, but he knew to use the yardstick to turn the light on.

My Running Buddy

Brian and I are training for a marathon in March so I have to get outside during the freezing cold weather to get some jogging in.  Luckily, Arthur loves sitting in the stroller as shown below!  He adds some resistance, but I don't complain because I can get some exercise during the day.  I freeze a little, but enjoy getting out there and I have to if I am going to finish 26.2 miles in 8 weeks. 

In addition to this comfy blanket (or Bundle Me), he gets covered by an all weather shield for the stroller.  It has to be nice and toasty in there.

His Attempt at Walking in the Snow

Arthur LOVED the snow.  You can see this toward the end of the video when he shook his head "no" when I asked him if he wanted to go inside. He enjoyed walking around and loved being outdoors. 

Snow Bunny

If you have been living under a rock, Atlanta got quite a bit of snow two weeks ago. (If you notice in earlier posts, I have been busy so I am a little behind!)

We don't have tons of snow gear, but we do have these buntings for when we go outside in the cold weather.  The tennis shoes will suffice for 5 minutes in the snow.

He loved walking around.  There had to be about 6 inches on the ground that was then covered in ice. He usually sank and fell on occasion.

I knew there weren't a ton of cars on the road so walking in the street was ok.  It seemed to be safer anyways!

Mr. Claus in Training

He loves yogurt and he loves feeding himself. You can see he is a little messy.

Introducing, Shayla!

In addition to the contract position, I started watching a friend's baby one day each week.  Shayla was born in October 2010 so I have my hands full with a 17 month old and  a 3 month old!

Arthur has his bouts of jealousy, but they don't last long at all.  He is really sweet with her.  The other day, I told him to hold her hand and he did! She moves quite a bit so it didn't last long. I get to enjoy a small baby again without being exhausted from lack of sleep!

Oh yeah, another fun story for you.  My first day on the job Art played with my cell phone.  It was locked, but he still managed to call 911.  I thought I caught it in time and hung up while it was dialing, but they called me back and said, "Did your child just call us?" I quickly apologized.  Fantastic...
