Catch up

Okay I am seriously behind on my posting. This post is going to be super super long, but full of pictures so.. enjoy!

The first week of January, my parents took Andre, Archimedes, and I to Florida! My parents and my brother Paul went too and Scott and Traci were there of course. It was an awesome trip. We went to Animal Kingdom and the beach and stayed at a super awesome hotel with a lazy river and everything. I didn't take my camera, but my sister in law Traci had hers and she sent me some pictures. Here they are:

 Archimedes and my mom

 Archimedes in his stroller at animal kingdom. He was in the stroller ALL day. I think we got him out for maybe an hour total and he was so happy and good for the whole day.

 of course, he was tired after awhile...

 He was tired here too

 Archimedes at the beach.. he wasn't too sure about the water

He liked the sand tho!

So that was the vacation. It was super nice to see family and spend some time with my parents. 

So the next group of pictures is from about two or three weeks ago. Archimedes has started pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING. Its crazy that at the beginning of January, he could barely even army crawl and now he is all over the place. Here are a couple pictures I took one day when I caught him trying to stand up. 

Isn't he cute? I took a bunch of pictures of his face that day because hes just so dang cute. Anyway, the last few pictures are from today. It was finally a nice day so we decided to check out the play area right outside our house. There was still snow on the crawl through areas and Archimedes wasn't too sure about it but we found some dry grass and some sidewalk and he played and played. He loves being outside. 

 I love love love this picture

 Archimedes playing in the snow

 This is right after his first taste of mud

 He found the only spot that was muddy and went right to it

He was done with his hat at this point. 

So that was our day today. It was a lot of fun. Oh yeah, we started off the day with Archimedes falling off the changing table.. I felt SO bad. I turned around just for a second and he rolled off of it. Its also not a normal sized changing table. I made it myself so its like... four feet high. But he seemed to be okay besides just a little bit scared. He also doesn't try to roll over when I change him anymore...
