Arlo is very popular with the young ladies. Wherever we go, he is usually surrounded, like this:
But he has one very special friend, Ridley, that loves him to pieces and is always giving him the sweetest homemade gifts and letters, including his very first valentine.
Earlier this winter, I seriously considered spending $300 for a used pulk so that I could get out and ski with Arlo this winter. I'm so glad I didn't, after renting a pulk at a nordic center recently, I realized that it would be pretty easy to make one. Mark was quickly able to pull together the parts I needed, a couple of long hollow pieces of aluminum (first time I've been grateful for that humongous pile of scrap metal he has been hauling around for years), a padded belt and some rope, which he attached to Arlo's $13 plastic sled and we have a pulk that works just as good as the $300 model!
Our little Arlo is 11 months old! He is one busy baby.
With his four little teeth and secret baby language, he reminds us so much of Sunny Baudelaire from the Lemony Snicket books.
During one of his explorations, he discovered chocolate! Really, it was the dregs of his brother's hot cocoa licked off the bottom of the dishwasher, but he didn't mind.
Hi is still interested in legos, I have found 3 in his diaper so far.
Ho loves the outdoors.
He is still the sweetest baby and now he is also fun! He laughs at everything, plays and wrestles with his brothers and smiles at everyone. He imitates everything we do, even slapping cards down on the pile while we're playing Uno. We just love this little guy! He is so cute, we don't even mind his new habit of getting up super early and waking the rest of us up.
Life is more fun with this little one around, happy 11th month Arlo!
We'll probably be visiting J's Oyster Bar even more frequently this month.
Levi's first day of downhill skiing, absolutely no instruction was necessary (or accepted).
