Archer refused to nap once he started staying home full time with me. I fought him on it until several weeks after Ellison was born . I stopped trying to make him nap and life got easier in some respects, but clearly we both needed a break during the day. I recently implemented quiet time during which he gets to play with a special “quiet time activity bin“.

Some days I find him like this – guess mother knows best :)

Ellison has mastered the front to back roll!

Archer took to wearing this hat my Grandmother Betty knit for me ages ago. He usually pulls it down over his face and rides/walks around like this. I guess he just needs to block out the world sometimes. (I’ve tested him; he can see and breath still!)

Reminds me of Dumb Donald from Fat Albert

Yeah, I’m five months old and trying to stand. I have to keep up with Archer!
