The most interesting hour... and catch up!

So, most everybody knows I am a working mom.  By the time I pick up my precious baby and get home it's about 4:30.

We get home, I make dinner, I feed my baby, I clean up and before I know it, it's 6:00.

Then I get it... I get one precious hour to spend with my bundle of joy, doing the things that he wants to do.  Fitting a whole day of fun into one short hour.

So what do we do in that hour of fun?  Well today it was the greatest!

First Arlo got ahold of Mommy's hands and wanted to walk, so in our little home Arlo walked his Mommy from the couch to the door one, two, three, four, five... times.  Each time we walked to the door he would stop and look at the two holes in our floor (We have travertine tile and Tim wanted to get the unfilled travertine so we could do it ourselves and when we installed it we filled in the top of the travertine but we did not think to fill in the bottom and now we have two holes that have caved in from the bottom and I am just to lazy to re-grout them).  Then on the way back to the couch he would practically run because the faster he went the more Bronco would wag his tail.  Arlo would just laugh as he turned around to walk the same track again and again and again.

After about 25 minutes of walking back and forth (about 14 1/2 laps) Arlo was walking past the kitchen when he suddenly became distracted by the spoon he had dropped earlier (from dinner, the one mommy looked and looked for and couldn't find.)  So for the first time in what seemed like forever we got off the track we had been on to go get our spoon.  When Arlo realized he had to actually let go of my hands and get down on his knees to get this spoon he decided it wasn't worth it and got right back on the track.

After about 15 more minutes of the same routine Arlo finally decided he was getting tired of walking, so we walked over to Arlo's play area where he proceeded to smoosh his face into a big fluffy pillow and pick up his arms so he was literally laying on his head and screaming into this pillow.  Every time he would look up from his pillow and see me, I would smile at him and say "Peek-a-boo"  and then he would put his head back down into the pillow pick up his hands and start screaming again.

This game lasted for about 15 minutes and then we went back to our toys and regular games.

Seriously?  This is what he wanted to do for our hour of fun? My kid cracks me up!

Here are some cute pictures of Arlo on the swings.  He has to wear a bib right now ALL the time because he is teething and we go through 3-4 of them a day!  He soaks them.

We also went to see the fishes at Bass Pro Shop.  He LOVED them!

Arlo really loves being outside!  But when he cant be outside he will do everything he can to at least look outside. :-)

And what finishes a blog post like cute bathtub pictures?  He is just to cute!  And don't even ask about the cut on his head.  Yes I know it is there.  Yes I did it to him.  No I do not beat my child... it was an accident!
